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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The lost Baldwin brother, or a relative of Adam's? :)

Stupid typo! Why so close together, C and X? Why??

My Mom saw Julie and Julia today - thought it was great, much better than she expected from the reviews. Also some of things she had heard against it were plain out wrong. They definitely dealt with Julia having been in the OSS and her husband being a victim of the McCarthy era. Not a lot of screen time, cause not the main story they were telling but mentioned. And she thought every actor and actress did great jobs, but also that the writing was first rate too. It is definitely on my list to see.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Has anyone heard the DVD commentary for Lars and the Real Girl? We just watched it on cable tonight and I think I might need to get the DVD. It's the kind of movie one should own, I think.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Speaking of Clive Owen, the official trailer for his new flick can be seen at this [link] It's directed by Scott Hicks and filmed in his--and my--home state of South Australia. Looks great.

Re Dark City; the Directors Cut dvd makes for a much more satisfying movie--though I did like the original cut anyway.

Oooh. I have this, but haven't seen it yet - must rectify that. I loved the original cut as is.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We took our niece to see G-Force over the weekend. Fun little film. The idea of guinea pigs as law enforcement agents works better than you'd expect it to on paper -- well enough that there might be another movie or two in the idea.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I watched The Day After Tomorrow on the plane last night. That is not a good movie, but I imagine mass global destruction is more satisfying on a larger screen.

move out and draw fire

From that link:

Or go see “Up,” the only hugely successful movie of the summer that engages genuinely adult themes. It’s about loss, frustration, disappointment. And it offers one of the season’s most pointed and paradoxical lessons. If you want to make a mature film for mature audiences, make sure it’s a cartoon.

I've been telling everyone it's a movie for adults, but no one believes me.

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