Ruffalo is cute, despite the "Property of Matt tBF" sticker on his back.
Um, no claim staked on Ruffalo here. I think he's a pretty good actor, but not one I'm particularly fond of.

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.

Wrong actor. Thinking of somebody else. Guess that gossip column would have to stay in the world without shrimp, huh? It's okay; I could only make the famous cry in that non-gentle, non-Baba Wawa way anyway.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
This weekend, I am watching movies (I went through my Netflix queue and searched the listings on my TiVo (only the unedited stations). I saw Vertigo last night. A Hitchcock biopic would be an interesting project. Hard to do, though.
Just finished Roman Holiday , which I enjoyed, although I felt awfully bad for them at the end, which is slightly surprising to me, and speaks well of the acting. I'm starting to really get the Audrey Hepburn thing (I have issues with My Fair Lady , which was the first think I saw her in).
Am now watching Sweet Charity . Not sure how we're going to get along.

Not a great movie but there are some kickass groovy sixties Bob Fosse dance scenes in there. I love the club scenes, and dance club scenes and the Sammy Davis Jr. scenes. Sexy sexy choreography and cool and smart. The rest? eh.

Seen it, seen it, seen it, haven't seen it yet. My college roommate was a big fan of old movies. I've just always been more of a Kate fan.

Hey. New board.
I rather like Audrey's take on My Fair Lady, though I am always sad that they didn't just cast Julie Andrews in it. At the same time, it's definitely not the movie to judge the Hepburn with, so it's good that you're trying others.
In additon to Hec's recs (some of which I need to see myself), I'm also a big fan of Wait Until Dark. It has one of the scariest moments I've ever seen - one of the few moments I can think of I actually screamed out loud.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
One of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies is Fred Zinneman's "Nun's Story", in which she plays against type by her portrait of a reserved, austere and headstrong nun. It's a brilliant character study, and Hepburn is excellent in it & well-supported by strong secondary characters. I'm particularly fond of Peter Finch's Dr. Fortunati, with whom her character shares terrific low-burning UST.

My Issue with MFL is with the show itself. It's what Sondheim calls a "why" musical. The music adds nothing but music to Pygmalion, and I'm a big Shaw fan.
I think what I really liked about her in Roman Holiday was that she seems a lot less fragile than she had in most of the other things I'd seen her in. Vulnerable, yes, but not like she was about to shatter.

The reason why I always watch that movie with the lights off. I especially like watching it with a WUD newbie, just to see them jump five feet off their chair (like I did my first viewing). Also, Alan Arkin is amazing as Harry Roat, Jr., and Richard Crenna is fun to watch as Roat's henchman.
