I am working my way through all of the movies in the International One-Minute Film Festival
It's fun.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Have you seen Vers le sud ? Because it looked like a train wreck to me and I was surprised when I realized it was him.
I have not, but someone elsewhere (I think on Matt Zoller Seitz's blog) mentioned that Viard's been in some real dog turds.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Luc Besson's Nikita from my list, because I would think that buffistas would have seen (and liked) that.

I think it's sort of an honorary Not!Foreign film. I'm sure a majority of Buffistas have seen it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Man, Black Dahlia got wretched reviews. I don't even know if I want to see it now.

k.d. lang crooning! Rose Magowan in exotic costume! Aaron Eckhert being a bastard!
He's the best bastard in cinema since Vic Morrow had a little off the top.

Speaking of retro-noirish things...
God, I love Miller's Crossing! Why doesn't Marcia Gay Harden get any work? She's such a badass. Plus Gabriel Byrne's best role by far. He just burns a hole in the screen. That's what I think of when I think of Black Irish.

Thankfully Judi Dench seems immune to that particular hex. Maybe it was the brevity of the role she won it for?

I expect her Britishness has something to do with it, as well as the habit of the British film industry to deem leading roles by ladies of a certain age to be commercially viable.
