Saw National Treasure today. Liked it.
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
That does look fairly amusing, like a True Lies done right.
re the Cars trailer. All I can say is it had better show lots of cars going round and round or I'll have one mightily pissed off autistic nephew on my hands.
Ooh. Also, I saw the trailer for HHGttG. It's real!
Ohpleasebegoodohpleaseohplease.
From a review of Blade: Trinity by the New York Daily News [link]
From what we can tell from the "Blade" series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.
These fragile creatures die at the drop of a silver bullet or the flash of an ultraviolet light, and their deaths are downright festive. They light up like golden x-rays, then explode in a hail of sparks.
Why this movie wasn't given a July 4 opening is both a mystery and a missed opportunity.
Hee.
Has anyone seen Stephen Sonderbergh's Kafka ? One of the Greek newspapers includes DVDs of movies and TV shows, and I just discovered they play in my computer despite region issues. The only one that looks appealing, sadly, is this one (well, other than The Mirror Crack'd, but I've seen that.)

That has Kyle MacLachlin right? I think I saw it when it came out in theatres. I recall thinking it was okay, but not thinking it anything too special. But I don't quite remember any details.
Don't think so. I just checked IMdb and the cast list is Jeremy Irons, Theresa Russell, Joel Grey, Ian Holm and Alec Guinness. There's only one user review that says "Lots of homage and reference to Nosferatu and Dracula. " but doesn't say much else. Indeed, one of the characters is named Dr. Murnau, but the plot isn't vampirey - it's about an insurance agent and some anarchists.
Hey! New kids' book: The Insurance Agent and the Anarchists
Okay. I saw that one too. The Kyle MacLachlin one was a version of the Trial, I think.
I think it was good, but it was a long time ago.
I have to admit, I was thinking it might be about a guy who wakes up to find he's a cockroach. Still, it should play well enough on my monitor and I am movie starved!
You know what else I just realized? I own almost no science-fiction movies. Other than Blade Runner, Dark City, The Matrix and the first two Alien movies, I've got nothing. I guess I could break my rules about genre and put the Star Wars movies in science fiction. Huh.
