I was so confused for a moment, since I intend to see this movie, but I haven't picked out the parts I really liked yet.
Sorry, Alibelle. Askye is an Ali in real life.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

No, it's fine. I figured as much.
Did I mention that I finally saw "Finding Neverland?" And it was totally awesome? So pretty. So very pretty. And all movies should star Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp. I've decided.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't think I've ever seen KW act better. Seriously. not a titanic fan, though, and "Spotless Mind" gave brain-injured me an unintended by the film-makers wiggins.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I watched Closer last night, and am now completely in love (and/or lust) with Natalie Portman.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I really think that Kate Winslet is the one to replace Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon on the Go-To Serious Actress list for the next decade or two. Take a look at her IMDB list--she's got five or six projects either just finished or in the works. She's got classically beautiful features, that peaches and cream English complexion, and a real sense of confidence in her abilities that shines on the screen, no matter what role she's playing. Peter Jackson done good in giving her her first film, althought I'm sure someone else would have cast her in a movie role if PJ hadn't.

She furthermore has unbelievably good instincts in picking movies -- I've never read a review of her giving a bad performance, and I don't think she's chosen any appalling stinkers.

Up with the sun
The one with Harvey Keitel where she played the ex-cult member and was naked a lot and peed on camera was pretty bad. I forget what it was called.
Edit: The title was Holy Smoke.
The Life of David Gale was another stinker -- worse, even, than Holy Smoke, because HS is a bad artsy movie and LoDG is a bad message movie, and at least the artsy movie was mostly pretty to look at. (I've had the misfortune of seeing both.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Talking of Natalie Portman, my little brother, who's visiting me at the moment, brought in his copy of Leon, a.k.a. The Professional, except with 20+ minutes longer European cut. Watched about half of it before keeling off to bed last night, and it's frankly unnerving how smoldering little 12-year-old Natalie is. The interaction between Leon and Mathilda may be sexually innocent, but it has this weird romantic charge to it all the same. I don't remember being this unsettled by it when I watched it the first time around. Hmmm.
Actually, the whole precocious barely pubescent girl/mentally and/or emotionally handicapped adult male thing reminded me a bit of Sunday and Cybele, [link] as well as this little-scene French-Canadian film called L'Enfant d'eau. [link]
