Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Hey. New board.

I know less about him than apparently everybody in America, because I have no opinion on him at all.

But seriously, combine Jessica Alba with endearing clumsiness (one of my Top Five Traits for Girls to Have) and I'm hooked.

I was trying so hard to figure out why I hated his character so much in Mr. Brooks (which I LOVED), and then I realized who he was afterwards.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you need to torture me for information, just about any recent movie with Alba will do.

You may die trying to get me immobilised all Clockwork Orange style, but if not, I'll surely cave within moments.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like Dane Cook, too. Didn't see Mr. Brooks but I loved him in Employee of the Month.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Went to see The Brave One. Jodie Foster is really terrific, as is Terrence "Mr. Clean" Howard, but the script is a cliche-fest. I do so want Foster to be in something as good as she is, but this isn't it.

Saw Shoot 'Em Up which is...well, exactly what I'd expected, and more. They don't let too much time go past before they explain the sort of movie they are, and then they go on to be so much more of it--deliberately overdoing just about everything. Gunfight scenes? Been done. No, really. They have now all been done. Might as well skip them. Also gunfight scenes combined with other things, like delivering babies or having sex --also totally done. Move right along.

So totally over the top. Can't but laugh.

I've still not seen an aerial trapeze act gunfight under a big top.

Jeez, I'd have figured SOMEONE in Hong Kong would have done that by now.

Maybe after the para-diving or whatever gunfight you'll feel the need less strongly. I know I sure do.
