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.

Cashmere and I differ.
No definitely to the first question. I would actually say no to the second question as well. Her character drove me batshit.

Eastern Promiese: see, as a movie-goer, yes, I'm screaming "No! No!" at her, but what I got was that she walked naively into the situation, believing the best in people, and then she found herself in a sticky situation that she tried as desperately as she politely could to steer herself through when she finally realized it wasn't kosher, and acted rather bravely (which can be read as stupidly) through the rest of it. Stupid but brave and prinicipled, is how I saw it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just got back from Jumper. It's funny how it has the same title as one of my favorite books, and some of the characters have the same names, but it bears no resemblance to the book I love at all. (And I knew this going in. What I was not prepared for was that it was even less like the book than I expected.)

We watched The Kingdom two nights ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Much more so than I thought I would.

but her uncle was warning her the WHOLE time
It was obvious she thought her uncle was a drunken fool (and had good reason to think so from some of his comments). Which he was. And she was in to deep before she realized he was also right.

I still haven't finished it (because I had to watch the ANTM clip show! and then Project Runway) but THIS and also she seemed suspicious of the restaurant owner/mob boss from the get go. As soon as she walked in the kitchen. So, why did she not follow her intuition and just leave it and take the diary to the police? (I mean aside from then there wouldn't be a movie.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Paramount on Feb. 13 pushed its highly anticipated Star Trek movie to May 8, 2009, from an original Christmas 2008 release, to take advantage of the summer box-office season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Star Trek is moving to summer because its has so much box-office potential," Paramount spokesman Michael Vollman told the trade paper. "It does not need any script tweaks. They're two-thirds of the way through shooting, and we would have delivered a great movie at Christmas."
Bah.
Huh. I'm actually looking forward to this movie....
