Saw The Town. It was Fine. Pretty much Heat with 1/4 of the characters. It was what you get in the trailer, and nothing more. It hits every beat needed for your standard heist movie (well-acted by people portraying ciphers with no hobbies, inner life, or moral qualms) and NO MORE. See it drunk, like I did!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I suspect if you know Boston there may be additional bits of interest. i've heard it actually gets the geography right (as it should, coming from homeboy).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I need to see it to support my childhood crush who co-wrote the script. But probably not this weekend.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I saw "Leprechaun" for the first time on SyFy. that movie is not very good, but what a camp classic. Good grief just about everything about that movie is bad, but somehow I was incredibly entertained. The movie also has no internal logic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The movie also has no internal logic.
I'm a firm believer that movies should have lots of internal logic - or non at all.

Yeah, Leprechaun is definitely good-fun-bad, as opposed to those just-plain-sucks-bad.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Have the B-Movie Bastards done Leprechaun?

I don't remember. Not any of the episodes I was on.

I was just watching All That Jazz on one of the Encore channels--I keep forgetting how good this film is! Also, I keep forgetting the early-in-their-careers actors who are in it: Keith Gordon as the young Joe Gideon, and CCH Pounder as the nurse towards the end of the film who refuses to believe Joe when he tells her he's having a heart attack.

I'm interested in seeing My Soul To Take just because it's Wes Craven behind the camera again. And writing the script, too.
