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.

See? Toms knows.
I don't know if I've ever seen Scola go for the asscaps before, even for comic effect.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know. That seemed very loud for Tom. And therefore hilarious to imagine.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ha!!
I've got a pounding headache from so many large anvils being dropped right on my noggin.
That is my assessment of the horse movie, too. Having watched the American Experience episode about Seabiscuit, I found the movie dull, obvious, and deeply lame. (Also, Tobey Maguire couldn't look period if he tried. He didn't.)
you should always do remakes of failures.
I am so glad that someone in Hollywood agrees with me. For this, I forgive Michael Caine Beyond the Poseidon Adventure and Jaws: The Revenge.

When I first saw it in the theater, I thought it was above average due to the pretty cinematography and the well-staged horse races. Other than that, it didn't stick out for me. When I saw it the second time on a cross-country plane ride, the tiny screen negated the pretty pictures and emphasized how utterly lame the storyline and dialogue were. Definitely a movie that suffers on the small screen.
(Also, Tobey Maguire couldn't look period if he tried. He didn't.)
I read an article in the past few months that said that the only male lead actor that can convincingly pull off a period role was Russell Crowe. I'd have to add Liam Neeson to that list, but couldn't really think of too many more. From the current batch of Hollywood Hunks, I'd say Christian Bale (as seen in Little Women, he can pull off the waistcoats and more elegant manners of the past) and Johnny Depp (as seen in Neverland). Orlando needs to age more before he can pull of the he-man approach.

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

Orlando may need to age before he call pull of the now-man approach.
I think a lot of English actors are more practiced at it, since they have a hell of a lot of period TV compared to the US.

I just realized (by looking it up on imdb) that I was 11 when I saw Lace...the miniseries. Older than I thought.
However, I had read the (racier) book before I saw it.
Goash that story was fascinating to me at that age. Now, NSM.
