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.

Hec, TCM is showing Aventurera 5/19 at 11:15 p.m.
Right the fuck, on! I recommend it to anybody that likes super-juicy movies from the 40s (even though Aventurera is from 1950 - it feels very 40s). I think you'd like it Fred. Also would recomend it to Vonnie, Robin, Aimee. Alibelle I think you'd like the musical numbers too.

I saw Sahara as well. I was kinda surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Good fun action movie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from going to the LA Museum for a friend's birthday, where we went to see two of his favorite Bergman films, Wild Strawberries and The Magician. Not only were the films brilliant, it was a huge treat seeing them in a museum setting, where no one in the audience talked AT ALL during the whole film. heaven.

Oh my - sounds like you lacked only massage chairs from it being the perfect moviegoing experience, Robin.
I haven't gone out to see any movies this week (though when I mistakenly thought Kung Fu Hustle was about to open I'd planned to change that). I know I should go see In the Realms of the Unreal while it's here, and I've heard that Ryan Reynolds offsets some laughably bad acting in the Amityville Horror remake by losing articles of clothing along with his marbles, but I just can't work up any enthusiasm for either one.
I did manage to catch one of the myraid showings of Reefer Madness last night though, and it was hilarious. I loved that there was one lone figure in the audience of the framing story pointing out all the exaggerations and unbelievable twists. And the Asian lady who looked worried and slumped down in her seat when they had a horrific baby-eating Chinaman in the film-within-a-film .

Compassionately intolerant
Saw Fever Pitch yesterday with a diehard Sox fan. Only way to go. It was cute and I enjoyed it way more than I expected to.
The scene where Ben brushed the dogs teeth nearly did me in.
Tonight, a friend is taking me to the DC Filmfest for my birthday. Going to see "King's Game". I have an unwholesome afinity for Danish film.

Thanks, Hec. I'll try and catch it.
I'm still singing Reefer Madness songs. So catchy.

Hey. New board.
I'm still singing Reefer Madness songs. So catchy.
I'm watching that tonight. Very excited. Musical + funny + Kristen Bell = almost certainly a good time.

That "Mary Jane/Mary Lane" song has certain parts that reminded me very strongly of "Rest in Peace" from OMWF.

There were tons of OMWF vibes in the whole thing. It was great.
