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.

Yeah, I couldn't even make it past the opening bloodbath of Ninja Assassin. Oh well. Anyone want it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

'Hunger Games': 16 (Im)posters.
What could Suzanne Collins' saga be like if Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Bay, David Fincher, Roger Corman, or others directed it? Start by imagining the art...
The Terrence Malick/Werner Herzog combo is beautiful, and I don't even like those guys.

Good god, the KSL (major Salt Lake City broadcaster) movie reviewer is warning people that Hunger Games is a problematic movie for girls because
Moreover, the Hunger Games seems to be sending a particular kind of message: It's possible to change the world, to make things better, but only if you have a cute, fashion-centric and cleverly constructed media campaign. What changes the world? Looking good for the masses. Winning their hearts with an unrequited love story, a few quips and propaganda pieces, and a cool looking uniform.

All in all close look at Katniss' story and actions shows that The Hunger Games probably provides a slightly better example than Twilight, but by how much is unclear. Not only does she engage in the same kind of passive, indecisive, girly, over-the-top behavior that Bella does, but those things are elevated to the level of saving the world and liberating perhaps millions of people from an oppressive government.
