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.

Nothing better than seeing a gay cowboy movie with a bunch of buffistas.

How about if the gay cowboy movie had Christian Kane as one of the cowboys?

My copy of Century Hotel arrived today, so I will get to see David Hewlett of SGA fame acting out a story not unlike Brokeback Mountain. Should be fun.

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

I saw Kong and LOVED it. Love love love love love.

Dear Mr. Jackson,

Thanks for making my mom go "oh wow" when she saw your big ape on screen. Also for making me get weepy over a CG character. Shame about the freaky-ass giant bugs though.

Ta ever so,
Me

I've seen half of Elektra (someone gave me a pirated DVD that I haven't gotten around to completing), but otherwise I'm free of this list.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm 1000% free. (I was going to write 100, but my fingers insisted.) Of course, there's a whole lot of good movies that I haven't seen, too.

I saw Aeon Flux and Doom. At least they were both pretty short.

I saw 9 Songs. I actually thought it was quite good for what it was, but I can see how the combo of explicit cinema verité and concert footage wouldn't be for everyone.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Cool, I avoided every flick on that list. My girl and her boyfriend, though, I think have seen half of them...

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I kinda wanted to see Fitty's movie, but that's about it.

Hey. New board.

I avoided everything on that list as well. I was sad when Hide and Seek turned out to be crappy, though, because Dakota Fanning in a creepy ghost-type kid role is the best kind of typecasting.
