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.

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

I saw that in previews, Robin, and remember thinking it was two great performances trapped in an awful, boring film.

According to the press notes, the goal of this movie was to make a romantic comedy where the characters didn't have any obstacles put in front of them, and I guess the mostly succeeded. It was just a really poorly thought-out goal, as no conflict-->boring movie.

I thought My Big Fat Greek Wedding already covered that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone know when The Aristocrats is coming to Chicago?

No problem. Z is standing in line on the 12th so that we may see the filthiness in all its glory.

Always Anti-fascist!

"Be Cool" is no "Get Shorty" but it was better than I expected...Netflix harshed on it.

Hee--I love with the stupidest of movies causes reviewers to wax philosophic (and delve into physics, as well).

Ebert's review of Dukes is funny, but the caption for the photo should win a prize of some kind.
