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.

"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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If you'd asked, I would have told you!

There you go. Plus, vampires and werewolves in the same movie! Fun for everyone!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's what they said about Van Helsing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

VH was fun. Stop grinching.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I gotta admit, I tried watching VH and couldn't get through the first 30 minutes.

Heh. I thought about that when I made the statement. And...hey, you can't win 'em all.

"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

Your mistake was in trying to watch beyond the first 10. Once the screen switches from b/w to color, switching to a different movie is advisable.

You think strange things are fun. What I could stand to sit through of VH was crap of the worst kind. UGH!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Sean, i have to agree with you. i went to see it at the theatre and considered walking out. there have been, like, three movies that i've seen in the theatre where i've wanted to walk out.

awful movie. awful.

I went into the movie expecting camp, got camp. Not great camp, but serviceable camp.
