Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So, holy crap, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is incredible.

This is the first time in ages I've been tempted to ahem a movie just to get me through to the Blu-Ray release. The acting is astonishing. It's such an amazingly quiet film, and so much of what is said is said with body language rather than words.

Oh, and the Fright Night remake is awfully fun.

I am SO irritated that it has such a limited number of US screens. Otherwise, it would be WAY easier for me to find a way to see it again and again and again. There's just too much acting for one viewing! I feel like I have to see it one time per actor so I can focus on them for the whole 2:07.

I think Mark Strong gave the best performance of his career. This morning, that's really sticking to me. Firth as well.

Apparently it's not opening in Canada (or at least in the theatre chain in my area) until January 20th. Waaah!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

amych, FYI:

It looks like it's opening at the Chelsea (which is in the same shopping center as the sushi restaurant we ate at the other day) a week from tomorrow, and at the Carolina in Durham on 1/13.

Woot woot! (And I know the Chelsea from way back -- but we'll probably hit up the Carolina anyway. Laziness and all that.)

That is an epic understatement. The Fright Night remake is now one of my favorite modern vampire movies.

Ooooh, Trianglista night at the Chelsea on 1/6? Anyone? Everyone? Just me?
