What's not to love? As much as I love all of Heavenly Creatures, if it wasn't for Kate, the movie wouldn't be half as good, at least for me. I just loved the way that she so convincingly portrayed the borderline hysteria that is the overly dramatic teenaged girl (most of the time).
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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.

Victor Garber just utterly rocks.
JZ, were you a Molly Dodd watcher? The cast (including recurrings) never stops amazing me. Victor Garber, Nathan Lane, John Glover, Gina Gershon, David Strathairn. (And Richard Lawson, father of Bianca "Kendra" Lawson.)

JZ, were you a Molly Dodd watcher?
I don't think she was. I was devout, however. And would love to have the first two seasons on DVD. Didn't care for it when it went to Lifetime. Staitharn as Moss was one of the greatest characters in the history of television.
Also rocking? William Converse-Roberts as her ex-husband, the jazz musician. (Best known around here as Simon and River's dad.)

Mine has to be in Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Followed closely by Zoolander.

Sheesh, David, I know *you* were devout. It's in your file.
Moss was wonderful, and I think the first bit of the Lifetime run was decent, but that it went downhill from there. I wish it were available on DVD, too, as my tapes were destroyed long ago.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The first (just half a) season was so deliciously melancholy. The second (also half a season) was so quirkily literary and romantic.

Almost You - the Marisa Tomei & Robert Downey Jr. romantic comedy.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The Stand, for me. But I think my Stand love is pretty well established.

Matt Frewer as Trashcan Man was pretty inspired casting, I thought.
Molly Ringwald, on the other hand...
