I saw RoleModels the other day. Highly enjoyable. It does have a feel-good ending, but it was quirky enough to avoid mawkishness.

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.

Emmett and I enjoyed Role Models too. Pretty formulaic but good hearted and funny.

I watched Charley Varrick today. I can't help but miss a world where you could make movies where gorgeous women would fall into bed with Walter Matthau.
But more than that, I miss a world where movies actually trusted you to figure things out and remember what happened an hour earlier.
Joe Don Baker is pretty awesome, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I would gladly watch a Walter Matthau marathon starting with Charley Varrick, A New Leaf and Bad News Bears.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
huh. Two friends just met up with another after seeing Australia.
Friend 1- How was it?
Friend 2- Oh it was so awful.
Friend 3- Really bad.
I wish I could have stopped them and asked for specifics. I didn't know people were hating it. Maybe they were hoping for big musical numbers.

slate.com has a spoiler special podcast about "Australia." They too didn't like it.

“Not dead yet!”
I guess I have low standards. I loved it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have yet to read the screenplay, but the first page has a unshaven Chef named Adam shouting obscenities in French (subtitled). It seems pretty obvious that Keanu will be playing Adam.
OMG. Want. Now.
