Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

I watched Sunshine last night. I have to agree with everyone else that it's good until it stops being good.

Yes, really. Such potential. Such a fine story for 80% of the movie. Such a bloody nonsensical waste.

To a lesser degree this could also be said of Doomsday which manages to be gory fun with a relatively cohesive but strained storyline, which then just flushes it down the loo and decides to wrap things up as if everyone making it was kind of late for the last bus home. No meaningful narrative or emotional resolution in the thing.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Doomsday... Yeah. It's like a live action Reaver movie. I really like the director - he made one of my favourite horror movies, The Descent, which cares about it's characters and is AWESOME - but the last bit of Doomsday is pretty rubbish.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just watched Fido. I had no idea how good it was going to be. Like, I would buy that, good. As soon as I realized Carrie Anne Moss was the mom I knew I was in for a treat but the great actors just kept on coming. I never even recognized Billy Connolly.

He was in that? He wasn't on my radar at all until XF2, and then I saw him in Timeline a couple days later.
