I think much of the annoyance of her performances would evaporate if she were playing an over-the-top evil space opera character.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

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.

I must admit my MacDowell love only goes as far as Clockwork Orange and Tank Girl
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 was that great movie with John Laroquette and Kirstie Alley? Madhouse I think it was.

Hey. New board.
Polterigiest is don't buy a house built on an Indian burial ground.
Saw this last night, for the first time in years. It wasn't an Indian burial ground so much as just a normal burial ground but, basically, yeah.
Also, I thought the movie primarily sucked. Stephen Spielberg writes way too many speeches in his movies, and makes far too much use of manipulative music. Sometimes that works okay, like in E.T., but in a horror movie? It's a distraction.
That said, the last 20 minutes were completely awesome. It was like we had a 2 hour buildup for 20 minutes of actual scary movie.
