I seriously thought it was a commercial for a video game the first time I saw it, until the very end when you realize it is, in fact, a movie.
It should have been a video game.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I kind of like Aaron Eckhart, but that's a movie where someone came up with the title first, and then made up stupid bullshit and called it a movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like Aaron Eckhart too. The movie looks awful, but I kind of want to see it anyway just to boggle.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I figure AE must have an extra boat payment he needs to make or something because there is no reason for him to have made this movie otherwise.

There is many a performance that just makes me nod and say "Gotta pay the mortgage. Kids need braces."

I like that Famke Janssen was completely upfront about taking the role in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters to pay her mortgage.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, that looks lovely! Apparently they used the original negatives. About time too. I've been showing a crap copy - the only one I could find - for years.
The press release says the restoration will be shown on German TV on 12th February, but strangely enough doesn't mention a DVD or Blu-Ray release date, beyond saying there will be one.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I finally saw American Hustle last night. I found it really engaging. If the hair dressers who created Rosenfeld's incredible comb-over don't win an Oscar for special effects, it will be a travesty. Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were great. Renner deployed his puppy-dog eye thing to good effect.

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