I kinda wanted to see Fitty's movie, but that's about it.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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.

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.

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

Huh. We just watched a movie called Summer Lovers (Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher). It was loaned to us by the DH's supervisee, who claimed it was a gift because he was going to Greece. It's basically an idyllic picture of the Greek Islands and the triad lifestyle. It was really really bad. There's no movie there. Damn near no story, no point, no sense. Boring except when annoying.
And yet, it has 4 stars on Amazon.

I assume the people rating it gave one star for each boobie on display.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bee Season came out in limited release in November, but didn't do so well, and I guess never expanded (assuming they would have wanted to...). [link]

Thanks for the responses on Bee Season. I guess I'll wait for it to come out on DVD so I can fast forward and look for the local stuff.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Brokeback Mountain and The Family Stone last night. LOVED the first hour of Brokeback to death--the second half lost momentum, I thought. The two leads were amazing, especially Heath Ledger who jst slayed me. I was very impressed with the art direction; when characters were living in cheap apartments, they looked ugly and messy, not movie-style "picturesque."
Family Stone sucked. Sucked, sucked, sucked. Diane Keaton looked amazing and Craig T. Nelson was lovely, but the film itself was predictable and often shrill. The audience seemd to dig it, however.
