let's talk about movies

Last night I watched Chance and The Air I Breathe.  

Let's talk about Chance first...

Is it terrible to say that James Marsters is a better actor than Amber Benson?  That being said, I did like Amber in the movie.  Her character gave me a new appreciation, because although I like Tara she was never *GREAT* in my opinion.  Um, and the stinky armpits bit?  Kinda grossed me out not gonna lie.  

After that I watched The Air I Breathe...

Love, love, love, love Sarah Michelle Gellar in this movie.  WAS THIS MOVIE IN THEATERS??  Because I sure as hell don't remember it, and it was only four years ago.  There were a ton of awesome actors in it (Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Forest Whitacer, EMILE HIRSCH!, and although I usually don't like him Kevin Bacon was all right in this movie).  It had that whole Crash vibe where everyone's interconnected.  I thought it was well acted and pretty powerful.  Anyone else see this movie?  I'm on a total SMG kick right now, my next movie to watch is Southland Tales.

Speaking of SMG...Is anyone watching Ringer?  I have to say it is definitely getting better with each episode.  I thought that I would be shipping Henry/BridgetasShioban because I love Kristoffer Polaha, but strangely enough the Brits win again and I'm starting to ship Andrew/BridgetasShioban.  I really don't have a lot of love for Shoiban.  Maybe it's because they've done nothing to build up her character?  Ringer is like Gossip Girl for adults and I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL!  Amber Benson is going to guest star in the 10th episode.  Hopefully Ringer starts doing better in the ratings.

The Air I Breathe is such a good movie, I don't believe it was ever in theaters. I love Sarah, she's one of my favorite actresses, but her movies aren't always great. I'm surprised that I ended up liking this one as much as I did. As for Southland Tales, that was a train wreck. Awful movie for such an amazing cast, but I only watched for Sarah.

I enjoyed Chance, from what I can remember of it. Amber and James were great together, and I can't wait to see her on Ringer. I'm really enjoying the show so far.

Will admit I have only seen Chance once. I loved Tara's character, but this film was a bit off-beat ... even for me. Yes, James was wonderful (but I may be biased!)

Haven't seen Sarah in anything other than BtVS ... I must watch her at some point.

I am loving the Ringer. I think its fantastic. I love how the twins interact and how different their characters are. She is wonderful in the series! I haven't seen either of the movie you posted but I may have to check them out.

Nah, you're right, James is a better actor than Amber. They did have terrific chemistry, though.

The Air I Breath is great - [livejournal.com profile] nvrbnkisst vidded for that movie a few years ago - it's so good, you'd never know the song and the movie are unrelated...
