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.

You guys, Goodfellas is 25 years old.

Meep! And not in a fun way.

Man, it has been a long-ass stretch of time with no new movies at the local theater I want to go see.

Unfortunately I only found out the Memphis Outflix festival was going on last week after the movies that looked appealing to me had already screened.

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

Saw "Black Mass" last night. The performances are all really good, but it's kind of plodding. It doesn't really explore the story, just kinda... tells it. Depp is good and has a couple of truly chilling scenes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How much is Cumberbatch in it? Billy Bulger is one of my favorites.

Not a whole lot. His Boston accent is quite good and he underplays nicely.

He's just so wrong physically.

Forget Cumberbatch. I turned down an invitation to a Black Mass screening because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand Depp's hair and makeup for 2+ hours.

Just imagine him telling people to buy a Chrysler and get off his damn lawn, like Bill Hader spoofing those Clint Eastwood ads.

As I reported on Twitter, I have seen The Martian and it is good.

ETA: It had actual women doing actual jobs (well) and talking to other actual women. And actual people of color doing actual jobs (well) and talking to other people of color. Clearly, it takes place in the future.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am really looking forward to seeing it!
