Happy October, everyone! I tried to post this yesterday, but I got blue-screened. And then LJ went AWOL. So, now begins our foray into this movie challenge, and I'm starting with a classic: Poltergeist. If you're just joining us, the 31/31 Challenge is explained here . I put a list together, which I posted on the Movie Buffs community , but for here I'm going to just post reviews each day and ...
A reply to this post . First, one wonders if the reviewer paid attention to the movie. They state that Axel went to war and came home. I don't know anybody who watched this move that claims this. The guys who went to war and came home are Michael, Nick, and Steven. Perhaps the reviewer didn't watch the wedding reception scene. Perhaps they thought it "largely forgettable," which is how they ...
Movies: Something old, something downloaded, and something new This is my first posting here, I love films and watched these three in the last 2 days. I hope you don't mind a triple review post. Something old: HEATHERS "Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?" Heathers is a dark comedy classic. Three girls, named Heather (duh), and one girl named ...
... in which nothing much happens, or what happens is menial, like preparing a meatloaf or folding up a bed. So it certainly is classed as an arthouse film – in a recent discussion on the moviebuffs forum about original films, both Slumdog Millionaire and Little Miss Sunshine were named as original films… sorry guys’n’girls, if you want TRULY original cinema, here’s a place to start. But if...
Quick question, my fellow moviebuffs. I once 'downloaded' a copy of Phone Booth with Colin Farrell during it's cinematic release. I liked it so much I went out and bought the DVD when it became available. I know for a fact that if I hadn't seen the film in the first place, I would not have had access to it's content any other way. Therefore, there would have been no impetus for me to own a copy ...
A twist on the usual Movie Quiz... this one has been making the circuits on moviebuffs . I tried to go easy on this since my last MQ was a bit on the tough side! Step 1: Go to IMDB and find movie quotes from your favorite actors/actresses. (Best way to do this is to go to the actor/actress's page, click the character’s name, then choose Top Links>Quotes from left-hand column.) Step 2: ...
cross-posted to moviebuffs I don't know why I'm surprised every year that the Academy Awards people have worked so hard to recognize the best in mid-brow mediocrity but here we go again. For best picture you have two movies that probably deserved to be nominated, The Reader and Slumdog Millionare , despite the latter's problematic ending. Then you have two interesting stories that ...
