Fandom: Blast From the Past
Category: Movies
Comments: Love it because it's amazing, includes an amazing dance sequence, has a sweet romance, a lovable male lead and a strong female counterpart. This movie is sweet and thoughtful and warm and THERE'S NO FIC ANYWHERE! We have to remedy this people. Watch these awesome scenes and you'll love it, too.

Fandom: Hope Floats
Category: Movies
Comments: You might look at the leads in this movie and think, no, but if you've never seen this, you should definitely give it a try. It's not your average romcom. It's sort of depressing and maddening and you'll want to shout at the people on screen every now and then but it's honest and even though it's a romance, that's not all that's happening here. This movie made me completely invested in these people and their lives. I love it.
Links: It's available on Netflix Instant.

Fandom: Lars and the Real Girl

Comments: This movie... They take a subject that could have really been ridiculous and even offensive and handle it with

holy crap, blast from the past was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, and I had no idea Nathan Fillion played the douchey ex. I can't believe I never recognized him 0_0

(totally offering this movie btw)

[devlinacardigan]

Yesssssssss! :)

Brb, renting "Blast From the Past." Seriously, it's been on my radar for years, since I love Alicia Silverstone, but now that I know Nathan Fillion was in it, I have to watch it.

[devlinacardigan]

It's so much fun and one of my favorite movies ever. You'll love it.

Yeah, the last few minutes of Yentl give me chills every time. Also don't forget to mention that the movie features a young (and naked) Mandy Patinkin ♥

I just keep thinking how Avigdor grew up and became Saul (Homeland).

[roga]

Which reminds me, dang, I forgot to check whether Homeland was nominated. *prays*
