I saw The Fighter last night and was really impressed. The trailer made it look like Christian Bale was going to be chewing the scenery in a standard sports film, but he gave a very real, impressive performance in a much more nuanced script. Wahlberg was great and Melissa Leo KILLED. Really, there wasn't a bad performance. I highly recommend it.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
The aesthetic is gorgeous and cool, but I'm worried Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch could wind up being a little icky.
I'm glad to hear ML get credit for being awesome...I always love her.
Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
DUDE. I am so there with you.
I think the party in Say Anything...it was one of the last great teen party scenes...I've always felt bad about not really being the blowout type.
A propos of nothing, every time I see it, I have a little moment of glee that I managed to sneak the poster for Inglourious Basterds into my Italian textbook.
Syfy is going to start releasing films theatrically.
!!! Does that mean I can buy my very own dvd of Mammoth? Or Mansquito?
Sharktopus!
Mansquito - now in 3-D!
