Buffy ,'Help'
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.
The not-boyfriend wants to see Blade: Trinity tomorrow, so I'm glad to hear it's no worse than the previous ones. I'm planning to just watch that Ryan guy.
So, I see the previews for Ocean's 12, and the scene where they're in the car, and I keep wondering if Julia Roberts is supposed to have a moustache? Because she really does.
Oh, it's worse than the previous ones. It's not the worst movie to come out in a year that saw Catwoman and Garfield hit the theaters, but don't go expecting to be as entertained as by the original.
I tptally agree with Steph on Ocean's 12, although I found all the actors so damn charming it ALMOST made up for the dopiness of the plot.
I think it's a matter of opinion. I found Blade III to be a fun movie, even with the lousy plot. On further reflection, Blade I was a better movie overall, including storywise, but having watched all 3 in succession, II and III are pretty much the same to me enjoyment-wise.
Doesn't matter, NB decided he'd rather sleep than see Blade: Trinity, and I don't mind a bit, as I would rather shop. Thus, off to Le Target.
I'll just Netflix Ryan and his low-slung pants.

My not-boyfriend saw it alone yesterday, and said it was TERRIBLE. And he likes bad movies, so.
One of the more interesting cases of racially-blind casting is the upcoming film Alatriste with Viggo Mortensen (Danish/generic American heritage) playing a 17th-century Spanish mercenary. Even if he does speak fluent Spanish, it's Argentinian dialect, not old-world Spanish.
But, like, isn't Spain the most eclectic mix of heritage ever, already? You've got your blonde Spanish people in the north, with their European heritage of Celtic etc. extraction, then there were the Romans, and the Africans, and the Middle Easterners, and like every culture ever and its brother, and all that all mixed together, with like Chocolate and a churro?
I just watched Saved! and i absolutely love it! the entire cast was awesome.
as for recent movies, i want to see Ocean's 12, Blade: Trinity and many, many others. sadly, i will probably never get to do so in the theatre. i'm so glad things get to dvd so much sooner now.
Ooh, that international Batman Begins poster is very very pretty.
Saved was great. Fave line: I can see your pad, Hilary Faye!
Ha!
