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 saw You Kill Me this weekend. Quirky, odd, but well-acted and moving. Apparently someone pushed Ben Kingsley's talent switch to "on" again.

Also took in a show of HPatOotP. Um, Dumbledore's "not going quietly" moment and his big fight with Voldemort were great. As were the two big shattering glass SFX scenes. Other than that, I wish I'd brought a book to read.

Matt, I too was underwhelmed by HPatOotP. I actually left wondering whether I kept needing to see the film versions at all.

I regard my $6 as an expression of gratitude to Daniel Radcliffe for posing in all those Equus promotional shots.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

did anyone else think the theme that plays as Harry enters the Ministry (and elsewhere in the movie) was rather similar to that from the Broadway musical of Les Miserable? That circular rushing of the strings.

Juliebird, yes, I kept flashing on Les Miserables too! Glad it wasn't just me.

Secret J.J. Abrams Movie Finally Has a Title — A Stupid One!

Heh. Better, however, is the fact that someone appears to have possibly figured out what the movie is about.

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

Movie Goofs game. Identify the movie to which the IMDB goof applies.

Sadly there are only ten questions. I got 4 right.
