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

Do you mean Charlie Hunnam is Bland Ryan Gosling

If he's the lead, he's Bland Ryan Gosling. (Even though he's apparently really Australian, he doesn't play one in this movie.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did you get any swag?

Because books.

Oh, I thought he was British. Well, he's lovely to look at so I'm sure I'll see it anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There is more or less no plot.

That is slightly disappointing.

It's 2.5 straight hours of giant robots punching giant monsters in the face. And it was AWESOME.

But that is promising.

Highly recommend seeing in IMAX 3D

I am!!

My arms are sore from all the fist pumping I was doing when the giant robot punched the giant monster really hard.

Yaaaaaay. I don't know, I was just complaining about movies that rely too much on action sequences that should be exciting but end up being really boring (cf. Man of Steel), but action-action-action still works if it's full to the brim with badassery.

Compassionately intolerant

Hunnam is definitely British. A Newcastle tough guy.

In interviews, he doesn't have much of an accent.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just realized I was getting Hunnam mixed up with Heath Ledger? Weird.

What more plot does one need than that? Space Giants and Godzilla vs. Megalon were formative experiences of my childhood!
