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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Panic Room.

(Another don't-buy-a-house movie, not the Gates to Hell.)

Compassionately intolerant

other movies where people buy homes and Bad Stuff happens.

Pacific Heights. Creepy Michael Keaton!

Duplex. Couldn't bring myself to see it. The bad stuff that happened turned out to be making a movie with Drew Barrymore, Ben Stiller and some evil old lady.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Things turned out OK with the house in Miracle on 34th Street, although technically, they didn't buy the house, it was a present from Santa.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The house in It's a Wonderful Life turned out well, too!

But we never saw the sequel, Terror in the 'Burbs!, when Margaret O'Hara brings home the Easter Bunny from work, and dreadful things happen when the bunny runs amok. Death, carnage, and what he does with that tire swing in the backyard...just horrible!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yes! The Gate! Love that movie. I wanted a stuffed little demon guy.

Okay, movies with words like "miracle" and "wonderful" in the title are exempt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That crap movie with Dennis Quaid is another one in the genre. I want to say Cold Comfort Farm, except that's obviously not it. Cold Creek Manor?
