Right there with you on the Ferris hate, Frank. I'd still root for the angry principal played by the creepy pedophile actor if Cameron wasn't tagging along.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That trailer looks great. I'm even more excited now!

So, I saw "Sliding Doors" for the first time since it was originally shown, and I don't think the movie is as bad as I thought I remembered it to be. It isn't a great work, but I was still very much interested and Tripplehorn makes a wild "villain."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I haven't seen that in years. I'm going to dig it out and rewatch it. Just what a Saturday night take-out, on an evening when you're not feeling 100%, needs as a cheering-up movie.

Not being a serious, hard core kaiju fan, I don't know if this is the first, but last night I saw something remarkable: A Japanese monster movie that was about 9/11, and not Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And being a Gamera movie, it's right up Jess' alley.

I saw Julie & Julia today. It was pretty good. Not something I'd go back to every weekend it's in the theaters, but worth a matinee. My friend and I left the theater hungry for really good food, and we ended up at a Durham restaurant called Revolution. Durhamistas—their food is delicious!

Saw Star Trek at the dollar movie. Very pretty, very silly in places, and the main saving grace was Leonard Nimoy. I love watching that man playing the older Spock, all wise and "I'm over 150 years old, I can be visibly amused and delighted if I want to be."

Oh, definitely. No matter my problems with the plot and Kirk's characterization, seeing Leonard Nimoy as Spock again was well worth the price of admission.
