RYAN: Ghostbusters 2016! It’s the reboot of the classic 1984 film. Dan Ackroyd is an Exec Producer on this – he co wrote the first one and it’s based on that film. It’s better in every way. It so lovingly and beautifully pays homage to the original film, its stars and also to the 80s ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is an epic tale of greed, revenge and survival. It has everything you love and want out of a Tarzan story – there are aspects of his origin, but it’s more of an Indiana Jones type of story that takes a domesticated Tarzan back to the jungle. BECKY: And I wasn’t expecting to ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is the sequel to the 2013 magic/heist thriller. These characters are like modern day Robin Hoods in the sense they steal from the rich and give to the poor, or more accurately, they are vigilante magicians who expose the big, bad corporations. CHUCK: As they do. RYAN: Where are the real life vigilantes ..
ACTION
RYAN: It’s the latest in the X-Men franchise which, if we’re paying attention, has been a bit all over the map – with prequels and spinoffs, etc. It all clicks in this movie though. This was just as good as the last one in terms of innovation and cool factor. I love the villain in ..
ACTION
RYAN: This movie is like a king size candy bar. It’s more of a good thing and I’m calling it – it’s really an Avengers movie more than a stand alone Captain America. I love the whole #TeamCap versus #TeamIronMan, fresh off of Batman v Superman. That standoff between two of the greatest heroes was one ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is Disney’s latest live action adaptation of their classic animated films and it’s there finest one yet! And I’m comparing it to Cinderella, Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland… It’s their first musical retelling. Beauty and the Beast will be as well. I can’t wait for that one. I only saw the original Jungle Book once as a ..
ACTION
RYAN: I’m joined by several associates for this super-packed review because I wanted to share as much expertise as possible for this one. I’ll begin by saying I loved this. It’s a hefty movie. It’s less like a typical superhero movie and more like a great drama with grit whose characters happen to be superheroes. ..
ACTION
RYAN: It’s the third film in The Divergent Series, and should conceivably be the last – but as is popular in Hollywood, they’ve split the last book into two movies. So part 2, or Ascendant, comes out June 9, 2017. But the good news is – I’m bummed to wait that long for it! CAROLINE: I’m glad you liked ..
ACTION
RYAN: Sometimes you go into a movie with high expectations and the movie exceeds them – but what’s it called when you go with with low expectations and it’s even worse than you expected? CHUCK: (laughs) Submarining low expectations? RYAN: This movie is horrible. One of the worst I’ve seen in years. CHUCK: It’s one of ..
ACTION
RYAN: Whoa this movie! This movie has one of the most brilliant trailers – it’s such a great tease to see the movie, without giving too much away. CHUCK: And JJ Abrams pulled off one of the greatest coups in recent Hollywood history – no one even knew this movie was being made, let alone ..
ACTION
RYAN: Triple 9 means something – it’s police code for something. I didn’t know what it was until this film and if you see it, you’ll understand too.It’s an intense, gritty, suspenseful movie that is this year’s first, proper, edge of your seat movie. CHUCK: Absolutely. I squired and gasped and was on the edge. ..
ACTION
RYAN: Deadpool is a Marvel comic book hero I was completely unfamiliar with aside from hearing my 13-year-old nephew talk about him. I’m always leery of heroes I haven’t heard of before but I suppose I shouldn’t be because these big screen adaptations have become so consistently reliable. CAROLINE: Yeah it’s remarkable how it’s become ..
