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.

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.

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

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

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

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.

Has anyone here seen Bee Season with Richard Gere? This was filmed around where I live and I've been waiting for it to be released. I just realized it has already been out and it only at an independent theater or two now.

I have never seen any advertising or anything for this flick.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I read the book, which I really enjoyed (though I thought the end was kind of weak). But, having read it, I'm not sure I'd want to see the movie, because I doubt everything could be made to fit the length of a movie.

Hey. New board.

I have never seen any advertising or anything for this flick.

I saw a trailer. It looked... pretty bad, I thought.
