I liked The Host a lot.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

For mindless, violent fun, I always go with the '80s classics of Robocop and The Hidden. Robocop just came out in a newly repackaged DVD release with some decent extras, and since I don't already own it, I'm thinking about picking it up.

What about Split Second, with Rutger Hauer? That's good times.

Chocolate, coffee, and a guy named Dick Durkin, what's not to love?!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Jackie Chan! Who Am I? Shanghai Noon and Supercop are three of my favorites. Also for mindless popcorn fun I think you can't beat A Knight's Tale plus bonus: naked Paul Bettany!

I loved the hell out of Final Destination 2 last weekend. I'm sure they're all as deliciously bad/good.

Another Jackie Chan: Project A2, which has lots of Buster Keaton gags.

I recommend A Fish Called Wanda for fun time-whiling.

I found A Fish Called Wanda to have many watch-from-the-hall moments. It is one of my favorites plus bonus: naked John Cleese but I wouldn't recommend it for mindless fun.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Thanks, I'll check to see if the library has these. Except for Wanda because it hit my humiliation squick like whoa.
