I watched The Jane Austen Book Club last night, and was struck by how Hugh Dancy's character in that was really the perfect man for me. Such a shame he was fictional.

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.
Well, that was so very much a Guy Ritchie film.
Which reminds me, I want to watch the RDJ Holmes again.

What is?
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Ahhh.
I have to say I was really underwhelmed by Ant-Man. After everything I heard about it, I was expecting better. It was fine (and better than expected given the premise), but stacked against other summer movies, it is way down the list. Of course, it's still above Age of Ultron, but I'm officially tired of Marvel movies just being one big tease about the next thing to come.
The Man from UNCLE was a fun watch, but then it was basically a PG-13 live action Archer.
I am starting to think of the Marvel movies as a ridiculously high budget television series. As an episode, I though Ant man actually stood alone very well. Ifound its connections to the larger universe were small and really pretty subtle. Made me think of an episode like The Zeppo or something; clearly in the same universe as the Avengers but with different focus and energy.
The final teaser of course was a tease for later but that is the whole point of those tags.
Yeah, I felt like Ant-Man was an actual story, which is a lot of what I appreciated about it.
