It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Jay Landsman is in The Wire? Talk about the meta. Must track down the DVDs.

Nonsense. That movie deserves all the love it gets. That one and Toys.

Oooh. Thanks, connie. I LOVE Toys.

Know what I love about movies?

When someone is talking about a somewhat obscure movie that came out years and years ago, and you realize that you've seen the movie and can remember and speak somewhat intelligently about it, and the other person is all impressed and thinks you're really up on movies when the truth is that you are very lame and never get out and that was just the last random movie that you actually got your butt out to the cinema to see.

Not that this has happened to me.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I really liked Ice Age. Plus, Goran Visjnic as a bad-ass tiger.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Rrrrowr.

(Not to put too fine a point on it.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I did resist going to see Elektra, or howeverthehell you spell it, because I heard it was pretty craptacular.

Did anyone see this psychological thriller Visnjic starred in called "Close Your Eyes"? IMDb lists the title as Doctor Sleep, and it has that dude from "In America", plus Miranda Otto! I'm thinking of Netflixing it, just to gawk at the pretty.

It's on my queue, but I haven't gotten it yet. Looks like the critical reception was mixed, and there's also this user review:

This movie is not for those individuals who are interested in avoiding satanic influences. Keep away!!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw it. Not great, but he's good and there are a couple of genuinely creepy moments.
