Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
Agree about J Lo's likeability in Out of Sight and The Cell.
I think my biggest beef in The Cell is that I wanted more Vince Vaughn, and that is the only time you will ever hear me say that.
I have such adoring memories of Out of Sight, but last time I caught a bit of it on the telly I was surprised at how it was much more violent than I remembered. And cruel violent, not fun violent.
But, still love Clooney and Lopez in it.

Although that dude tripping on the stairs and shooting himself in the head was kinda both.
I think it was also shocking to go back and discover that it was Don Cheadle playing one of the nasty gangsters --and I love Don Cheadle! I've only ever seen him play decent, good-hearted, intelligent characters, so imagine my surprise.
Oh, back to Lopez, I really enjoyed An Unfinished Life with Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman (and Damian Lewis in a small role as the bastard ex-boyfriend --I watched it for him and came away liking the whole thing). It was "hey, that's right, she can act, I forgot!"

You should see Devil in a Blue Dress, where he plays a guy who is beyond standup to his friends, but also basically a total sociopath.
Devil in a Blue Dress
Again, another movie I saw before I knew who he was! (I first noticed and fell in love with him in Swordfish).
Mouse is such a great character.
Definitely. Great movie, that.
Mouse is such a great character.
Yeah, you don't wanna fuck with Mouse.

Yeah, you don't wanna fuck with Mouse.
Or his friends.
