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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not that you're complaining....

Oh no, not at all. I need to recruit every female friend and co-worker possible if it'll help continue the trend.

Well, yeah.

I've been calling it Panic Plane because of the Jodie Foster-kid-small space angle.

Jess, I've been calling it that in my head for those reasons, plus the shot in the TV ad of Jodie hitting the deck with flames roaring overhead, also featured in Panic Room.

By the point that you have flames roaring overhead in a jet loaded with oxygen tanks and jet fuel, isn't a safe landing pretty much a pipe dream?

Corpse Bride is lovely. It's a very, very sweet movie, and I am going to go see it several more times. My *only* complaint was that the sound system at the theatre we were in was apparently not quite good enough to deliver crisp sound during some of the songs. And the soundtrack CD doesn't include lyrics, drat it. (Yes, I bought the CD right after seeing the movie. Don't even act surprised.)

The trailers included Curse of the Were-Rabbit (yay!), Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire (yay!) Mirrormask (yaaaaay!), and ... Chicken Little (um, no. Thanks).

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

Pretty much, yeah. Fire abord an aricraft is about the worse thing that can happen. Planes can go from someone smelling smoke to the plane diving out of control in minutes.

eta: and even if the fire does not involve fuel or the oxygen system, things can still go very bad very quickly.

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

Chicken Little (um, no. Thanks)

Same writers as Emperor's New Groove, and Zach Braff as the voice of the chicken. They had me at "Panic!"

I'm so glad I managed to not bear a grudge against him for (presumably) being the only guy that's gotten to make out extensively with Christian Kane. I'd have missed a lot of good entertainment otherwise.

Corpse Bride was adorable. The music was...not Danny's best work, but fine all the same.

The only real problem I had with it is that the Corpse Bride was so much more appealing than the living bride that I couldn't for the life of me understand what Victor was so upset about.
