Buffy ,'Potential'
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 managed to avoid the Troy this weekend, but I rented Music and Lyrics and Reign Over Me.
Hugh needs a facelift, but still gives good shirtless. Less said about that movie, the better.
Adam Sandler still has problems with subtle, but the last 15 minutes or so of the movie was very affecting. He cries easily. Jada Pinkett Smith? Needs muscles in her face so I can tell the difference between a smile and a frown.
Sail, we just watched Reign Over Me last night. It dragged too long. The pace was slooooow. But I think the acting was all pretty good. Cheadle was awesome, as always. Sandler held his own.
I... really liked Music and Lyrics.
I'm ok admitting this may be a flaw in my character.
I did too. I in fact watched it twice when I had the DVD from Netflix.
I liked it too. It wasn't brilliant, but it was a perfectly servicable rom-com.
I guess I found it too predictable. But that's probably all romcoms and I have no love in my spleen for them anymore.
I liked Reign Over me. And I actually laughed a bunch at Music and Lyrics...a romantic comedy that's actually funny is big news around here.
Dana, I'll see your "huh" and raise you a "wheeeee!"
I didn't bother watching T3, but for Christian Bale, I'll reinvest myself in the franchise, *then* some.
And I like the idea of Christian Bale as a grown-up Eddie Furlong. That works.
