That movie with the thing and the guy that did the stuff and there was a Burger King tie-in?
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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'm very pissed at netflix still. I can't believe they are getting rid of profiles.

What should I see first? Eastern Promises? No Country for Old Men? That movie with the thing and the guy that did the stuff and there was a Burger King tie-in?
I'd vote for No Country. But that's probably a given, and it's not like I've seen a lot of recent movies. If you'd like to be very tense for about 2 hours, I definitely recommend it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
NCFOM is more entertaining than EP, IMO.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Anything Coen or Cronenberg is a must see for me, so I'd say both (and I liked both movies a lot, though Naomi's character in EP has some serious naivete issues - I suspect Jess would say "too stupid to live issues"; I didn't have quite that many problems, especially when it involves her disregarding her uncle).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If you'd like to be very tense for about 2 hours, I definitely recommend it.
All movie reviews should contain this kind of information.

Hey, folks we've got Netflix now. I've missed a ton of not-kid movies in the last several years.
Have you seen Waitress? If not I'd recommend it highly. Especially if viewed when you've been feeling down. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and Persepolis were also very good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh yeah, Waitress and Persepolis were both on my list. And Miss Pettigrew is Frances McDormand, right? I forgot about that one.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I wasn't impressed with Eastern Promises. No Country for Old Men was very well done and Javier Bardem plays an excellent serial killer
in other news, i went to see Wall-E tonight with my parents and niece. we all loved it. so adorable it hurts. if you're worried about taking a small child, don't. my niece is almost 4 and she barely even moved and all of the other kids were really well behaved too.

Loved Persepolis. And still regret that I only bought the first two volumes when I was last in Paris.
