I thought Fox was better than decent in Casualties of War. But that was a long time ago. I might think differently now.
I'd agree with that. Sean Penn was great too, though thoroughly repulsive (appropriately so).
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I feel like I'm opening up about some seriously shameful thing here, what with the Alex Keaton Woobification of my youth.
Then let me be in that corner with you, babe.

Hiya. I know I almost never post here, but I started raving in Bitches and then remembered that we have a movie thread...
So, yes. Everyone must run, run, to the nearest movie theatre and go see Kinky Boots.
OMGWTF FUNNY and sweet and quirky and fun. Also phenomenal soundtrack and hot drag queens and did I mention GO SEE IT.

I can't even.
Heh, you want hilarity? Check out CLASS OF '84 where a very young, very chubby Michael J. Fox gets abused (and I think eventually knifed) by Vince Van Patten's gang of psychotic teens. Also worthy for Roddy MacDowell giving a pop quiz to his class using a gun as motivation for them. Teensploitation trash of the highest order.
I saw that tonight! Okay, I was flicking from another movie because of the painful. That was so shot in Toronto. A&A records. Casa Loma. There was indeed a knifing of the Keaton. Al Waxman, the King of Kensington, plays a cop. Roddy McDowell cries, snaps and flips out like a mammal.
Nah, other than being a historical artefact, there's nothing redeemable about that movie. I miss A&A records, though.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
And I have no Clooney love.
None, at all? Or just platonic.
I think I've recently moved from none at all to platonic.

move out and draw fire
OK, I have to admit I never watched Family Ties. That came on after my mother forbade TV in our house. And while I saw Casualties of War, I don't remember it. So I totally agree with this:
Jackson is really an excellent director of acting, not just possessed with remarkable casting ability
except for the part where he cast Liv Tyler in LOTR. Fox was so good in The Frighteners.
Another night, another movie: Donnie Darko night before last. After which I didn't fall asleep until 4:00 am, piecing the movie together and having a plane crash phobia attack. Very very good movie. I think it may be the least successful of the non-linears, as unlike, say, Mulholland Drive, I'm not sure the viewer could ever figure out what was going on without outside help, but still good. I can't believe we've had the DVD for about 4 years and hadn't watched it until now.
