DRAMA
RYAN: Oh no. CAROLINE: Oh no, what? RYAN: Good trailer, bad movie. CAROLINE: Oh really?! That’s so sad. This cast is amazing. RYAN: I know. I’m seriously disappointed. I obviously went in with high expectations because of the cast and the trailer is amazing. But this movie is a major fail. CAROLINE: It’s possible. ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I just adore this movie. It’s so much like real life – painful, funny, sincere, heartbreaking, with real ups and downs emotionally – one of my faves of the year so far. CAROLINE: Wow really? It’s only month five. RYAN: I know. But so far, this is one of the biggest reactions I’ve had ..
DRAMA
CAROLINE: I know people are talking about big Memorial Day franchises in the form of Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover 3; but the sequel I’m most excited about this weekend is Before Midnight, the third in an awesome indie-franchise starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. RYAN: You may find it shocking to know ..
DRAMA
RYAN: This movie stars Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid and it’s ok. It basically feels like three different movies: part family drama, part race car movie and then part farming movie. I liked the last quarter of the film but that’s about it. CHUCK: I had higher hopes for the first half but then thought ..
DRAMA
RYAN: The latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby classic novel is all Baz Luhrmann. He is such a genius! I love what he does and if you like his aesthetic, you’ll be into this. CHUCK: He’s so good at bringing fantasy into a real setting. RYAN: This movie has the same rhythm and tone as ..
DRAMA
RYAN: We just saw the new movie from Jeff Nichols called MUD, starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon. It’s a coming-of-age story about a young boy dealing with meeting a stranger on a nearby island. CAROLINE: I really liked the trailer for this movie and I was psyched to see it. I’m also really interested ..
DRAMA
CAROLINE: The movie Disconnect is out in limited release but has a great cast including Jason Bateman, Hope Davis and Paula Patton. RYAN: I love all of them, but I didn’t get to screen this one. Tell me everything. CAROLINE: Well, I won’t tell you everything, since there’s much to spoil. But basically it’s got ..
DRAMA
RYAN: This is the new film directed by and starring Robert Redford with a great cast including Shia LaBoeuf, who I like as an actor, but am confused by as a person. CHUCK: [laughs’ He does tend to confuse people and his film choices are interesting – from the Transformer movies to things like this, ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I hated this movie. It’s painful to watch. It’s director Terrence Malick serving up more of the same as he did with 2011’s The Tree of Life, which I didn’t even get through entirely. CAROLINE: Yeah that movie was godawful. It just didn’t make any sense. RYAN: Look, this movie is beautiful to look ..
BIOPIC
RYAN: It’s the new baseball movie about Jackie Robinson, the first African American athlete to make it in major league baseball. CAROLINE: How was it? RYAN: It’s so worth it. We’re not baseball fans but you simply don’t have to be to enjoy this movie. It’s such a well crafted film and I was totally ..
DRAMA
RYAN: Trance is the new movie from director Danny Boyle starring James McAvoy, Eva Mendes Lite aka Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel, whom I find very ugly. CAROLINE: Interestingly, until very recently Rosario Dawson was Danny Boyle’s girlfriend. Wonder how she got the part in this movie? RYAN: OMG I didn’t know that! They were ..
COMEDY
RYAN: I was so excited to see this movie because Kristin Chenoweth is one of my favorite stars. Her talent is unparalleled but let me say upfront there’s no singing in this one. She just works her glorious comedic chops. CAROLINE: Oh that’s nice for you. Who else in in this? RYAN: She plays Matthew ..
