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.
I saw Mrs. Henderson Presents with Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. Very disarming and a terrific script--you think you know all about the characters from the beginning but layers are revealed throughout. It's funny and stylish and a perfect Christmas movie--for adults (it's about a burleque-type theatre in Wartime London, so lots of gorgeous naked women throughout).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister's looking for Brokeback Mountain online discussion. Narrowly headed her off at the imdb pass, trash-talked TT Ovies (for this particular flick), but have no actual suggestions -- where should she go?

Want to subject her to Ehrenstein's ranting over at WorldX? I thought the sane people were having some interesting discussions around him.

It might pay off in entertainment value, but she's already got high blood pressure.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yep.

Excellent! Thanks.
My sister's been on the internet forever, but she's now getting *into* the internet. She's so cute. Wants to know if there's ever been this kind of anticipatory uproar for a movie before. Maybe for Serendipity, she suggested.. I corrected the movie title, and mentioned LotR in passing.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Anyone interested in the sequel to Underworld? It's coming out in a month and this is the first I've heard of it.
I didn't invest a lot in the first picture, though it was fun enough. I like the idea of there being more low(er)-budget action-adventure-type films being put out there to balance the ridiculously huge-budget blockbusters. I can't help but think the genre will stagnate if it keeps up the latter route.
Oh, and who can say it enough: Kate Beckinsdale back in the leather catsuit.
