Sinners really was just as good as y'all said. It would be worth seeing for the music alone, but it's all so damn good.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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.

Yep. My only real criticism is of the actiony part of the last act, but that's in light of me having seen a million vampire movies. Nothing that's going to bother most moviegoers, and certainly doesn't eclipse all the brilliant work done on the rest of the scenes.

I swerved away from my normal watching movies off my Oscar list (anything ever nominated) and watched Now You See Me and Split last night.
Underwhelmed by the first. James McAvoy was great in the second, twisty director aside I found it all really good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Now You See Me: A group of douchebag magicians hold a competition to see which of them is the biggest douchebag, with the twist ending that Mark Ruffalo was the biggest douchebag all along!

It was so convoluted.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Superman trailer: [link]
I so want this to be good. High marks for that subtle shift in demeanor and voice when he goes from Clark to Superman.
The number of characters in this movie seems like too much, but Gunn proved with GotG he can introduce a large cast well, so I'll be cautiously optimistic.
I will say after the recent string of ruggedly handsome silver fox Pa Kents seeing one that actually looks like an old farmer threw me for a loop.

The trailer really does make it look good. I hope it's not a lie.

Shallow take - there's something about his face that makes him not attractive to me. Superman is supposed to be hot. I imprinted on Christopher Reeve as a child, and still find that black hair/blue eyed/square jaw situation to be hot like burning. He has these things, but somehow not.

The dog is uncanny valley for me. Looks like a cartoon.

Same, Vortex. It's hard to pin down because as you go through Corenswet's features one by one everything should work, and his face isn't actually that dissimilar to Henry Cavill's. But in the end the appeal just isn't there. I'm pretty sure it's something about his eyes.
I will say that in other projects I've seen him project the gee-whiz Jimmy Stewart wholesome aura that's needed for the character.
