No love for León / The Professional ?
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.
Generally speaking, even if I liked Natalie Portman, I would find it icky and creepy to like her that way when she is pre-pubertal.
It is a thing.
I adore The Professional and Nikita, and was pleasantly surprised by and caught up in Banlieue 13.
I will love him forever for the first two, even if I don't love all his later work. And then...dude the reason I saw War was because of the Statham love generated by The Transporter.
Which, I guess, makes me mad. Pfft.
I share the Staitham love and was so looking forward to War. Pfft, indeed.
No love for León / The Professional ?
I haven't seen it. I keep meaning to. Really.
ita, I think you've summoned Peter Greenaway:
Also he has a new movie about Rembrandt starring Martin Freeman as Rembrandt.
Wow. That say it 3x in a mirror thing works!
In looking up info on Jean-Pierre Jeunet in IMDB, I've learned that he declined an offer to direct the last Harry Potter (OotP), which I would have loved to have seen, and he's in pre-production on Life of Pi, which worries me just a tad.
Also he has a new movie about Rembrandt starring Martin Freeman as Rembrandt.
whoa. okay.
I loved Greenaway when I was a film student (of course) but I haven't rewatched anything in years.
I noticed he's in the de-rigeur "You stuck the big man with the cute kid???" movie coming out soon, as well as having a role in the new Get Smart opposite Steve Carell. Only one of those projects looks like it has any promise.
