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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So apparently that's a trailer for a Superbowl ad, not a movie.
Feh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I just saw that Jessica.
Bummer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I was sort of guessing it might be something like that. Bah.

Cry. Like a bitty baby.
Broderick should be ashamed of himself.

Advertising, is there nothing that you can't ruin?

Strongly recommend Five Minutes of Heaven, starring Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt (both of whom are from Northern Ireland, and both lived through The Troubles). Neeson is a former UVF volunteer who shot and killed a Catholic boy, right in front of the boy's brother, back in 1975. After serving time for the murder, Neeson's character becomes a well known spokesperson for peace, and someone who works with other violent offenders helping them comes to terms with what they've done.
The film primarily centers on the two of them meeting face to face for the first time since the event, in front of a TV camera crew, as a stunt for some program. The meet in front of the cameras never happens, but watching these two men deal with the various, roiling emotions inside themselves for an hour an a half was rather electrifying.
It's on Netflix streaming.
