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.

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

There's a great shot in the animated series, where CK pulls off his glasses, and the curl falls down on its own. Really well done.

Seriously, sumi. Hair is notorious for being completely unruly, and he just makes it look so easy to do.

(Heh. Do. Puns are the greatest!!!11!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw, Groundhog Day is on American Movie Classics. Yay.

I just got back from Kung Fu Hustle. Great fun to watch, though I have some reservations about how it ended (not the specific plot elements so much as the change toa more serious tone). I love the off-the-wall treatment of the various martial arts masters.

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

When the Monster In Law trailer is viewed independently of the trailer for Guess Who, it doesn't seem so much like WASP hyperventilating over adding a Latina to the family. It was also a different trailer from the one I saw earlier. Sadly, this one made J-Lo look terrible. I say "sadly" because Jane looks hysterical (if someone can promise me she wins, I might see a matinée), and Vartan looks charming.

The trailer for War Of The Worlds was quite scary, which I wasn't expecting.

I hadn't known that Jodie Foster had made/was making an action movie -- Flightplan looks interesting. On the air travel theme, I'm not sure Red Eye looks interesting, but it sure was funny.

Joss has carte blanche to reinvent the character of Wonder Woman.

Who gave Joel Silver carte blanche to reinvent Wonder Woman? Shouldn't Warner be more protective of its franchises?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It'd be funny if Wonder Woman spent all her time staking vampires....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Right. The path of "reinvention" ends up at Catwoman, people. Don't you learn anything??

I saw Abre los ojos over the weekend, and it was one of those movies that seems like a happy ending, until you think about it, and it's actually sort of the opposite of what you thought at first. Cool, though.
