Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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 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.

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).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mouse is such a great character.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Definitely. Great movie, that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mouse is such a great character.

Yeah, you don't wanna fuck with Mouse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just watched The Fast and the Furious. It was all right, decent entertainment with cars and shooting and the occasional explosion and/or crash. I'll probably watch the sequels for kicks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There's a fourth one. Saw the trailer with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez.

Oh, I know. That's why I became interested in finally seeing the movies in the first place.
