Tilda Swinton lovers should check out Jarman's Caravaggio . As should anyone who wants buckets of Sean Bean homoerotic tableaux.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Jim, that whooshing sound you heard was that of dozens of Buffistas rushing to their bunks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Damn. Netflix doesn't have Caravaggio. And IMDb is telling me it's not on dvd at all, on tape only in UK format. Damndamn.

Facets says it's out of print. Though I think I've seen it in my video store.
ETA: My video store does have it on DVD.

So what movies have surprised you guys recently? I was really surprised by "Road Trip." I was dreading it as it rose to the top of our Netflix queue, but I figured I owed it to Patrick to give it a fair chance, given the number of depressing, bad, or depressingly bad movies I've made him sit through. Turns out that, in spite of the presence of Tom Green, it's not that much of a gross-out movie, and parts of it were really funny.

Super Troopers, which I expected to be dumb and not funny.
It was nothing at all like the previews indicated, so while it's pretty dumb, it was also really funny. (I'd thought it would be a dumb movie about stupid characters, but instead, it was a dumb movie about characters who, for the most part, had at least half a brain.)

I was expecting Finding Neverland to be horribly maudlin, and it held back in a pleasant way. And Million Dollar Baby had a lighter touch than I was expecting.

Well, Amelie surprised me because when I went to play it, the disk was too scratched to work, and so I had to send it back to Netflix. But that's not the kind of surprise you meant, I'm sure.

Mind boggles at the crapulence:
Hayden Christensen and Mischa Barton to star in the Decameron.
Now there's a movie that needs some good supporting penguins.
