I just got back from seeing The Aviator with ChiKat and others--excellent film! The first time the audience heard Cate doing her spot-on Kate voice, there was a laugh of recognition since she was so perfect in the role. The film overall was wonderfully done, even when seen from the second row (the 4:30 show was PACKED!).

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.
Wasn't Cate wonderful? Adored her.
Just got home from a long night of "Assault on Precicnt 13" followed by a sudden sneak on a whim into "Meet the Fockers." We decided the theme to our evening was Mediocrity.
we need to find you some gay vampire porn, then.
Some gay vampire porn? Less gay.
That was the gayest Dracula I've ever seen.
Warhol virgins, the lot of you!
I saw Hide and Seek today, and thought it excellent. Though I have to agree with the reviewer whose reaction was "WTF is up with everyone saying Dakota Fanning's character is cute? She looked like Sally from The Nightmare before Christmas, only not as hale and healthy!"
Wasn't Cate wonderful? Adored her.
She was terrific. It would have been so easy for that role to have turned ridiculous, but she just nailed it.
I saw Finding Neverland yesterday, and LOVED it. It made me cry like crazy, in happy ways and sad. I do have an irrational love of Peter Pan that only added to the whole thing -- the story pisses me off when I think too hard about the Peter/Wendy relationship, but if I don't think too hard, I just cry. I thought all the kids were great. And you can't go wrong with Johnny Depp.
I really should see that movie. And re-read that book now that I'm a (semi-demi) adult.
God bless Johnny Depp. He's such a magical little man. He is in the rare place of being completely stereotypable, but there's still a lot of acting range needed for him to be Jack Sparrow and JM Barrie, although they're both men with a lot of fantastical boy in them.

Hmmm. And DGA has a high rate for predicting Directing Oscar because it's basically the same people, right?
