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.

Madchen Amick, who has little fame or infamy, but is very pretty,

HUBBA HUBBA!

Madchen Amick was also in the horribly underrated and very frustratingly short-lived new Fantasy Island series, with Malcom MacDowell.

I don't know what others thought of it, if they even watched it at all, but I found it to be wonderful and hilarious, and KILLED TOO SOON! (As was my wonderful and very beloved Cupid, with Jeremy Piven).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I watched Fantasy Island, hoping to love it, but I think I must admit my MacDowell love only goes as far as Clockwork Orange and Tank Girl. I found the show emotionally uninvolving.

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

Oh, MALCOLM.

My brain was thinking Andie, and I was getting confused.

Man, would Star Trek: Generations been a different movie or what?

I can't even.

Man, would Star Trek: Generations been a different movie or what?

With Hugh Grant or James Spader in tow and Andie as some kind of evil OverLady. Hmm, y'know I think we could probably cook up an improvement over Generations even with Andie.

I think much of the annoyance of her performances would evaporate if she were playing an over-the-top evil space opera character.

You've left out Time After Time! I have serious love for MM as HG Wells.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Time After Time is a terrific movie but don't forget ...If and O Lucky Man and to a lesser extent Brittania Hospital (which was the third in the loose trilogy by Lyndsay Anderson) when talking about Malcolm McDowell goodness.

All that talk about movies that give reasons for not buying a house and no-one mentioned House ?

There was also a small Aussie movie called Emoh Rou which might qualify but I've never had a chance to see it so can't really say for sure.

What about The People Under The Stairs?
