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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Being the skimmer that I am, when I first read that my mind went to Cash's little boy, Owen. I was mightily impressed.

He could be an actor--he's got the drama down when he cries now. Throwing the head back, raising and lowering the tone, and even the eyes. He can squeeze out the tears better than SMG.

From Mutant Reviewers latest news update:

Be Wery Qwiet, I'm Wabbit Hunting: The novel Watership Down, which has already been turned into a movie, is now being made into a mini-series from the director of Cube.

Protect Your Fake Baby: Clive Owen will be starring in The Children of Men, a scifi flick set in a future where mankind hasn't been able to have kids in 18 years... except for one lucky, lucky girl.

Another post to add a scathing review of Bewitched. When a reviewer starts out his article with the line "Warning: vicious personal-sounding attacks to follow. I want revenge on those who stole 100 minutes of my life," I'm thinking that this might be fun to read.

She gets the nose twitch right - probably because the script smells so bad that it's a natural reaction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ouch. That was a painful read (and he's not usually an especially bile-filled reviewer, so he must've really loathed this thing). And I haven't seen Wicked or even heard the soundtrack, but the big love for it here among the Buffistas is making me feel oddly protective of Kristin Chenoweth.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm not sure if I would like it(although my gut instinct despite my childhood love for the show is "not really.") but they are promoting it SO much that it is at that "show me that trailer again and I'll NEVER see it!" stage. You know?

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

co-writer/director Nora Ephron

I did not know this was hers. One more reason not to see it, then!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Someone please tell his publicist to stop.

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

Think he hired Orlando's?

Wow - this has been pretty much every review I've read so far. If this is this bad, how bad is Steve Martin's PINK PANTHER remake to get put off until...what was it? The next century?

I'm reading rottentomatoes.com -- currently Herbie: Fully Loaded is at 44%, and Bewitched at 27%. I swear, from synopses alone, the rotten tomato reviews for Herbie: Fully Loaded are just as good as the fresh reviews for Bewitched.
