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.

Okay, my EW arrived and I see that HJ is not just acting but also producing and that he approved Ratner as director.

Sheesh.

Also, why did Tom Cruise have to be on the cover?

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's the Scientology cabal....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mr and Mrs Smith was a decent way to spend two hours out of the soul-crushing humidity of a NYC summer. Not spectacular, not terrible. It's fun. I think an R rating and an ending would have improved it vastly, but I wasn't disappointed. I wanted to smack the two girls sitting behind us who wouldn't shut up through the entire film. I shushed them at one point, and they told me to fuck off. Teenagers can be so polite.

Nice.

No wonder they're targeted by axe murderers.

In films.

Probably made by people with similar experiences to Jessica's.

BTW, I've seen a few ads for that new "Fight for Fame" show on E! -- or is it on Style? -- that remind me of Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: the Metal Years in the subjects singlemindedness about their success.

Jessica, I'd say a strategically spilled coke would be in order after that...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just saw High Tension. Has anyone else seen it? If so, can you explain it to me?

I haven't seen it Allyson, but this review discusses it.

I think I've guessed the big twist, as some reviews have mentioned FIGHT CLUB , so, yeah, it probably doesn't add up.

Then again, it's Euro-horror. Captain Logic slipped on a banana peel on the gang plank and went into the water without ever getting on board.
