Just in from There Will Be Blood tonight. Man, that was fucked up. I'm a little overwhelmed for deeper reading at present.
I would be there right now.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Sky High. I don't think it did well at the box office or became very popular, but it's a lot of fun! Very enjoyable, and it pretty much delivers what it promises. Plus, a cute redhead.

I've a great fondness for Sky High because it pushes all my teenage superhero buttons. Also, I can't resist a heroic were-guinea pig.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I like Sky High because it was made by the same people who did Kim Possible. I didn't like the actor who played the villain, but other than that the cast was great across the board.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Snuck into a press screening of Juno. Love.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Saw Juno last night, too. Had to drive a half an hour because it was only on a local screen for one week (stoopid theatre). Loved it and Ellen Page.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Corwood, I'd love to hear your impressions of the movie after you are less overwhelmed. The end is a trip, I agree.

Really? That's cool.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I need some hivemind help. I teach American Government at the junior college level and want to provide my students with a list of movies that can be watched and reviewed as an extra credit project. I want movies which relate to the way the federal government works rather than ones that look at a particular president or elected official (Nixon or JFK) or a political campaign (Wag the Dog, The Candidate). I'm also trying to avoid spy movies and sci-fi thrillers where the government's role is instigator. The movies need to be available through Blockbuster or Netflix and need to be a fairly easy watch - the assignment is only worth 20 points. So far, I've come up with High Noon, Dave, Thirteen Days, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Any other suggestions?
