I remember one day we went to the dollar theatres and saw Bringing Down the House followed by How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I thought the former would suck and the latter would be enjoyable, but it was actually the other way around.
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.
How could you possibly think you'd enjoy a Kate Hudson vehicle over The Queen and The Jerk??!! Blasphemy!
But at least he knows he is, which somehow helps, although I'm not sure why. Bullock has had some hits and misses with me although I did like that one and "28 Days", in which Dominic West, well, plays the guy he usually does, without the whole "decent guy in there *somewhere*" thing, but with the voice he was born with.ETA: And I'm twisted enough to be amused by the thought of a Rehab Romcom, anyway.
The whole movie is just classy like that. (Haha, how far have we suddenly fallen from the talks of Renoir and Truffaut.)
I would like to say for the record that I love Renoir. And Truffaut. And, yet, also? Year of the Comet. That's right I said it.
That movie appears to be about a balls-out hunt for...a bottle of wine?
You got a problem with that?
I do, but I don't drink wine.
It was written by William Goldman, but that's probably the best that can be said about it. That, and the presence of Louis Jourdan.
William Goldman's book "Adventures in the Screen Trade" is one of my favorite inside-Hollywood books. A very entertaining chap.
Well, he did write Princess Bride.
