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 been hearing good things about that movie, ita. Very much a meta movie though, as I understand it (sort of like Malkovich in Being John Malkovich but with less surrealism).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't wrap my mind around a Van Damme movie not sucking in one respect or another. And I say that as a person who not only watched his movies avidly, but also took notes.

I think that tagline for the new F&tF movie is referring to the original actors coming back, ita. i'm not really sure about the sequels acting alone because i couldn't sit through them.

That's my assumption. I made it through part of the second movie, but I'm wondering if F&F=TF&TF 2 or 4.

Didn't Vin Diesel make a random appearance at the end of the third movie? I think the new movie does count the sequels as canon.

I liked both Hard Target and Timecop, but that was mostly in spite of JCVD, not because of him.
Random aside: one reviewer of JCVD pointed out how much he's starting to resemble Buster Keaton. I'm never going to be able to get that out of my mind now. Not sure if it's a bad thing - I have a feeling his movies would play better silent. Though in the two I referenced we'd lose out on Lance Henrickson and Ron Silver chewing the scenery so enjoyably.

I'm pretty sure I liked those movies too. I don't think I saw Double Impact, but I saw the trailer enough times, and I sometimes like to break out the ol' "There are two of them!"

Hey, I still love Double Impact. Mmm. Cory Everson.
Don't judge me more than you already do.

I was a big time fangirl. Didn't like Timecop that much. Preferred Universal Soldier, Double Impact, and I just adored Double Team. I also have a shameful soft spot for Nowhere to Run.
I liked that his character didn't always ride off into the sunset with the girl.
