Ocean's Eleven is crazystupid fun. I love the Mormon Twins.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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 watched 3:10 to Yuma yesterday (the newer one) because I'm kind of working on a Christian Bale obsession. I really enjoyed it, and was particularly impressed by Crowe, who I'm normally sort of meh about.
I thought the director's commentary was interesting, too; he said he'd put a lot of thought into modern westerns and why so many of them didn't work. And I was particularly pleased that he said it was a buddy movie, because early on I was comparing it to Midnight Run.

3:10 to Yuma was one of those movies that I was really happy I decided to listen to the commentary.

Speaking of commentaries... check out the director's commentary for "Out of Sight", which is a great movie, probably one of my personal Top Ten. He doesn't say so explicitly, but you can tell that Soderbergh worked SO HARD with J-Lo to get that performance. Which is possibly why she's never been that good again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Damn. They include several that they don't think will actually make it, but still, damn.

Sad to see that the Tintin trilogy is still having trouble getting off the ground.

I would wager that more than half of these will never make it.
