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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have Ray, Finding Neverland, and Sideways coming today.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've seen two, not "Sideways" yet.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sideways is out on DVD? Whoo!
EW says that Timothy Dalton/Zelda Clarke version of Jane Eyre is coming out on DVD (sans extras, alas), which for my money is the best adaptation of the book out there, for all its cheap production values and Dalton being way too pretty to be Rochester. Clarke is very good, and Dalton is a champion brooder. I'd forgotten that the damn thing is 5 hours long though. Hmmm.
It's really too bad that nobody filmed JE with Alan Rickman as Rochester, because he's got the charismatic and sexy ugliness and the explosive intensity of the character down cold.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I have Sideways and Ocean's Twelve at home, and Million Dollar Hotel on the way. I had to knock my subscription back down to 3-at-a-time for the summer, until baseball season is over.
Between the Mariners and my U2 obsession, I haven't felt much like watching movies lately.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Million Dollar Hotel
A cross between Million Dollar Baby and Hotel Rwanda ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A cross between Million Dollar Baby and Hotel Rwanda ?
But a comedy.

If I only had a brain...
My love for Johnny Depp's cool just went up another notch.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I could go for a screwball comedy with Don Cheadle and Hilary Swank as the romantic leads, but even if genocide gets replaced with mass euthanasia I don't think there would be much funny to mine from it.
