I saw Ночной Дозор (Night Watch) tonight. Very nice moodiness and mystery and Noir feel for the most part, though there were a few comedic transitional scenes with the lead's cohorts that had sufficiently different tone to throw me out of the movie momentarily. I definitely want to see the sequel when it comes out.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Where did you get it? I'm dying to see it.

We are watching Pearl Harbor tonight. C has never seen it - actually has never seen any type of war movie.
Anyway, slash has corrupted my brain cause I see this whole slashy backstory between Rafe and Danny.

It started a run at my local art-house cinema this weekend. I think it's in what passes for wide release for a foreign film, so you might be able to catch it in the nearest large city.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh gawd that was an awful movie. One critic wrote that he tried to write down every cliched line in the movie, but he stopped when he realized he was writing every other line down....

I am basically ignoring it and playing on the puter. DH absolutely LOVES it. C seems to be getting into the romance of it and since she hasn't seen any war movies, the cliche's are new to her.

Somewhere out there is a movie clip of Affleck and Hartnett re-enacting the animal crackers scene from Armaggedon. I'm not sure if it's on the DVD extras or what, but I have seen screencaps.

But you can tell I'm a total geek, because the thing that disappointed me the most was that the scene of the battleship Arizona blowing up looked nothing like the actual event (which was captured on movie film and is pretty widely known).

Hate hate HATED that movie. And it has the line that drives me in to complete fits every time I hear it -- Josh Hartnett shouting "I think world war two just started," into a phone. The number of ways in which that line is an utter affront are just too many to count.

Maidengurl, the only redeeming thing in that movie was being given the opportunity to call out "Lipstick of DEATH!" in a movie theater. Which really, isn't enough redemption.
