Her hair was probably too long.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

There's an interesting article on which of today's stars will be the classic stars of tomorrow over at Newsweek. The leading contenders seem to Russell Crowe, Daniel Day-Lewis, Reese Witherspoon, and Nicholas Cage.

Someone he didn't mention, but who I think is almost a definite, is Kate Winslett. Not only is she a fantasic actess, but she rarely makes a bad movie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Winslet is a great choice.
Gael Garcia Bernal--although he isn't American.
Is Denzel in the "previous generation" category?

Kate Winslet is definitely going to have a legacy in Hollywood! It's hard to believe that she's not even 30 yet. She's someone that we don't hear too much of offscreen, even though she's married to a relatively big-name director, but her impact onscreen is huge. She fits in with the group of actors that the writer of that article points out started out acting in their mid to late teens (Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio), but unlike them, has grown into a full-fledged adult, and who looks like one, too.
I just read over at the NY Times a review of various big-name actors who are appearing on West End stages this summer (David Schwimmer, Ewan McGregor, Gael Garcia Bernal, Kevin Spacey, Val Kilmer) and the only one who they seem to think can really make on impact on stage is Neal Patrick Harris ("To find a male screen star in full command of a stage you would have had to venture into the small, airless Menier Theater at the Chocolate Factory in southeast London where Neil Patrick Harris - a popular television star in the 1990's as the boy doctor of "Doogie Howser, M.D.," who appeared on Broadway last year in Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins" - is showing how nicely he has grown up. Mr. Harris delivers a charming, emotionally focused central performance in the British premiere of "Tick, Tick ... Boom!," the autobiographical chamber musical by Jonathan Larson (of "Rent" fame), that achieves what his peers in celebrity in London do not: the illusion of absolute intimacy, of electrically stylized self-exposure.")

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wait, she's not?
The hell?

She turns 30 this October. A mind-blower, isn't it?

That's crazy. She's been in, like, everything. For, like, ever.
I'm about to watch Stir of Echoes. And I must say: that is one freakyass DVD menu. Shit.

Right there with ya. I keep hearing how good she is, and have been completely unable to see it in any movie of hers that I've ever seen.
