Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

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

I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Lords of Dogtown last night.

I'm with Jess on the Smiths. Great Fun and the leads are ssizzling, charming and funny--a perfect mix for a popcorn film like this.

Lords of Dogtown was really good. It got the look (and more importantly the feel) of that era exactly right. There were a few clunky moments, but the young leads give great performances all around. If you haven't seen the documentary this is based on, or even if you have, this is worth a watch.

Hmmm, how about a double of The Full Monty and Calendar Girls - people from Northern England stripping to raise money (that is if I have the second movie right.)
