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.

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.

Hey. New board.
I loved Legally Blonde. I don't think that was her doing, though, as I loved Clueless for very similar reasons and don't think Alicia Silverstone is a great actress. Pretty and sometimes competent, yes, but neither of them are likely to be Oscar winners soon.
Though I'd've said the same about Renee Zelweger once upon a time. In fact, I still would, except for the part where she did. I didn't see Cold Mountain so maybe it was really worth it. She sure didn't deserve the nod for Chicago but sometimes (or always) a movie's momentum outweighs sense when it comes to award races.
ETA:
"Harris delivers a charming, emotionally focused central performance in the British premiere of "Tick, Tick ... Boom!,"
Okay, wow. That's really incredibly perfect casting, assuming he has any sort of pitch at all. Want now.

Have you seen Election ? She's great in it.

Reese was incredible in what'sitcalled. Freeway? And she was good in Election. Since then, she's been essentially coasting in lame roles that don't seem to challenge. It's a shame, because she's not lacking in chops.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Yeah, Election is the one movie of hers that I really marvel at her abilities in. The rest of them, she's pretty and kind of OK.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Even though his more recent movies have been a bit lackluster, I would nominate John Cusack.

This show MUST be made!
No Johnny Depp in that article? Is he just too good an actor, and not really a "classic star" ?

No, no, they did mention him. Said he'd be remembered most for Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood.
