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.

Milk was actually better than I expected it to be. I've had a dim view of Penn's acting in the past, but he definitely earned his Oscar nom with this.
If Dan White were a fictional character I'd say he was too one-dimensionally villainous, but what with the blaming his double homicide on Hostess® I think the movie treats him with just about the amount of respect and sympathy he deserved.

Josh Brolin's resemblance to David Boreanaz continues to unnerve me. Haven't seen MILK yet, but in the stills I've seen, he looks like DB with bad 70s hair, though not as bad as the 70s hair DB did do on ANGEL.

He's aged out of some of the resemblance, but back in the 90s it was frightening.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw "The Class" last night, which i highly recommend. Beautifully made and the actors playing the students were incredible.

Excellent! I love Cantet's earlier movies, especially Human Resources.

Because books.
I took Sara to Coraline in 3D, and it was wonderful! She's just five, but she was fine -- I was actually more concerned with the 3D aspect freaking her out, but it really just added incredible depth. So gorgeously done. LOVED.
I had no idea 3D movies don't qualify for matinee prices (at least at that theater), which was an unpleasant surprise. Then we walked into the theater and were hit by this awful, acrid smell. I had a headache by the time we left, and I guess someone complained -- we walked out to find two managers waiting with free passes for everyone! (Apparently there was a fire a few days ago in the food court. No clue.) And the tickets are good for adult seats, any show ... *except* a 3D show, which I found sort of ironic. Still, that was a nice surprise.

We are watching Excalibur. It's...kind of stupid.
Enjoyed Coraline, though, especially all the weird scenic touches.

The garden set was 50 feet long! Which would be like a stadium set for human actors!

David, you misspelled "wonderfully, gloriously stupid." So fantastically cheesy.
