DRAMA
RYAN: I was primarily excited to see Spring Breakers because of James Franco who’s one of my favorite actors by default since he’s now the wizard of Oz. CAROLINE: I too was excited and intrigued, largely because of all the hype. I feel like we’ve been seeing pictures of those 4 girls in bikinis ..
ACTION
RYAN: I wasn’t too jazzed going in to see this film, aside from the fact that I enjoy some of the stars, primarily one Aaron Eckhart, who is truly an underrated actor. CAROLINE:How was he in this? RYAN: He’s great. But it’s not his movie as much as it’s Gerard Butler’s. Gerry plays the secret ..
COMEDY
RYAN: Admission is the new film with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd which is arguably a drama; random, considering these comedy heavyweights. That’s a little confusing with these stars. KEVIN: I liked it a lot. I thought it was a fantastic movie and they had amazing chemistry. There was a nice balance of comedy with ..
DRAMA
RYAN: The Call starring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin is a new thriller, almost action movie. I didn’t have major expectations because these movies can be cheesy but I thought this was actually riveting. CHUCK: It definitely has good parts. It was somewhat formulaic, which you can expect. But Halle did a fantastic job. She ..
DRAMA
RYAN: Stoker is the new moody thriller from a Korean director Chan-wook Park that stars Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode and Mia Wasikowska. I always look forward to a Nikki Kidman movie, and this one pleased me so much more than her last one, The Paperboy. CAROLINE: I too was interested in this movie because of ..
ACTION
RYAN: I like Dwayne Johnson, “The Rock.” I follow him on Twitter. I like him in all of his family films and I think he’s really cute and he’s returned to the sort-of action genre with Snitch and yeah… not so much. KIM: I am also a fan of his. As a former wrestler, ..
RYAN: This is the newest film not only based on a Nicholas Sparks novel but he’s wised up and it’s produced by Nicholas Sparks Productions as well. CHUCK: I was shocked it’s also directed by Lasse Hallstr om who did Dear John, Chocolat, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, among others… RYAN: This one stars Josh Duhamel ..
DRAMA
RYAN: Side Effects is a new drama from one of Hollywood’s most prolific writer/directors, Steven McSoderbergh. CAROLINE: First off, I’d call it a thriller. It’s got some real noir elements. And Mr. Soderbergh claims that this is his final movie, but I think we’ve heard that from him at least three time already. RYAN: Yeah, ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the new zombie apocalypse rom com which is basically Twilight with zombies. KIM: It’s kind of a romantic dramedy, but it was comedic. RYAN: It’s a little cheesy and corny but not as bad as I anticipated. It certainly has a lot of heart to it. KIM: I was surprised by this. ..
ACTION
RYAN: This movie is finally here! I feel like we’ve been waiting forever. CAROLINE: It was originally supposed to come out in September 2012 but then got pushed back due to the Dark Knight movie theater massacre. It contained a scene with shooting in a theater which has since been removed. RYAN: And they may ..
RYAN: This is the new fracking movie. CAROLINE: Doesn’t that kinda sound like a bad word? RYAN: [laughs’ Yes. And to some, it is. And that’s actually what this movie is about. CAROLINE: How was it? RYAN: Good. It’s written by Matt Damon and John Krasinski and it’s quite a strong script. Let’s not forget ..
RYAN: Zero Dark Thirty is a bit of a late entry into the Oscar race. Not that it matters because it’s getting nominated for everything, and deservedly so. CAROLINE: This is the kind of movie that you feel like you should see, as opposed to one you really want to see; at least that’s how ..
