I think I've found a new tag from the movie title contest:
an erotic foreign film called I Am Explosive, Bosomy

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.

Uwe Boll is going 3 rounds in the boxing ring with movie critics.
I don't know what's more idiotic -- his movies, or the fact that he thinks that if he kicks a bunch of movie critic's asses that it means he makes good movies.
I hope somebody beats the living snot out of him.

What movie has a crappy old cabin on a beach with a pier with a wheelchair on it?

Key Largo?

I found out that the advance screening of Serenity actually didn't work out too well as a date movie, as we were both too wrapped up in the film to consider making out. Which set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Key Largo has a closed-for-the-season hotel on the beach with a pier with a wheelchair on it (which in turn has a Barrymore in it).

Thanks, Hivemind!
I've seen Key Largo, but I totally do not have that scene associated in my head with that movie. Weird.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just watched Wide Awake. Now, I've been saying for some time now that Shaymalan needs to make a nice little domestic movie: something old-school Speilberg. Turns out he already did. It even centered around a kid in 5th grade (at a Catholic school, which is, I think, a lot of why it managed to get some of its cast, including Dennis Leary and Rosie O'Donnell). I guess he has had something of a Speilberg trajectory, only the condensed version.

I have been converted. I worship Samuel L. Jackson as my personal savior and snake handler. Muthafucking snakes on a muthafucking plane! Loved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watched District 13. There's a little movie that's better than it had to be! I was just in it for the parkours, lent it by a parkours-happy friend. It's a bit weirdly paced, but I liked how it wended its way through the plot.
I knew going in that one of the parkours inventors was a lead. I was happily impressed with his acting. I hope his friend in Casino Royale does as well.
It became apparent that Jason Statham should star in any English language remake, so it was funny to see that the other lead, the one in the role that Jason was suited for, did stunts on Transporters one and two.
