Vonnie, you should rent Evening if you want to see more of Dancy acting people's socks off—his performance in that struck me as one of the better ones.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

Hey. New board.
He was very good in the recent Broadway revival of the World War II play, Journey's End . He got a Tony nomination, if I recall, though did not win.
Personally, I love him from Ella Enchanted anyway. Because that movie is awesome.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Thanks! I'll check the film out.
The only things I'd seen Dancy in before this was in BBC adaptations of Daniel Deronda and David Copperfield and I wasn't too impressed with him in those, but man, he was just so sweetly dorky and charming as all get-out in this movie.

For Damian Lewis fans, I can definitely recommend the updated version of Much Ado About Nothing shown as part of the ShakespeaRetold miniseries on BBCAmerica, in which he was delightfully snarky as Ben(edict), which also costarred Billie Piper as the smeared ingenue.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
which also costarred Billie Piper as the smeared ingenue.
And as Beatrice, a woman whose name I forget, but who was the female lead in "Blackpool", which David Tennant fans may have seen.

I just realized I had been accidentally unsibscribed to this thread for about 4 months. Oops. No wonder I have no idea what movies are out.
So, what movies are out? Specifically, I am in the market for a movie that my husband and I can go see together and both enjoy. He likes independent artsy movies, I like chick flicks and wordy british things, we both dislike boring action movies. Anything out right now where we could find common ground? Preferably not depressing.

I've heard marvellous things about Once, although I haven't seen it yet myself. It's a love story about two musicians and the man is played by Glen Hansard of The Frames. It's got big indie cred, and from what I hear, some really great music.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Once, if it's still playing in your area. [x-post]

Glen Hansard has really gotten all sexy as he's matured--I remember him in his only other film role, as Outspan Foster in The Commitments, and he was just a cute ginger-haired geeky guitar player there, but in Once, he's smoking hot with that beard and those sad eyes.
