The Impossible Review

CAROLINE: The Impossible is an über dramatic, hard to watch movie about the tsunami in Thailand several years ago.  It’s one of those movies that I enjoyed and am glad I saw, but can totally understand why it might be too much for some people. RYAN: I feel exactly the same way.  I don’t think ..

Parental Guidance Review

RYAN: Old school Hollywood is making a comeback with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler in Parental Guidance.  CAROLINE: Welcome back to the big screen, you two.  How was it?  RYAN: Nice.  It was good.  They’re great, you know? CAROLINE: I love Billy.  He’s the star of my favorite movie When Harry Met Sally.  RYAN: This ..

Django Unchained Review

  RYAN: This is the latest from writer/director Quentin Tarantino and it’s so consistent with his brand of film making, from the music, to the pacing, style, editing, zooms and then the bloodshed. ERIN: Yeah the classic Tarantino.  RYAN: And I loved every minute of it. ERIN: I did too.  This is the first of ..

Les Miserables Review

RYAN: I’m almost too giddy to even talk about Les Misérables.  Most anticipated movie of the year is an understatement.  CAROLINE: I have been absolutely dying to see this too.  As collective musical theater geeks, there couldn’t be a movie more tailor made for us, LBH.  RYAN: We both loved the show on Broadway, and ..

This Is 40 Review

RYAN: In honor of your 40th birthday this past Monday, Caroline, This is 40 is out in theaters.  How much did you identify with it?  CAROLINE: I actually asked myself that same question as I watched this movie, and found many of the scenarios quite relatable. However, I did not start procreating at 27 as ..

Deadfall Review

RYAN: This is one of those movies that’s available on iTunes before its release and I watched the trailer one night, thought it looked suspenseful, liked the cast. and so I rented it. CAROLINE: Was it worth it? RYAN: Not really.  It’s rather forgettable. CAROLINE: That’s too bad.  And you paid for it!  RYAN: I ..

Hyde Park on Hudson Review

RYAN: Move over Lincoln, there’s another president at the movies and it’s FDR,  brought to you by one Bill Murray. CAROLINE: How was this one? RYAN: It’s just so-so.  It felt like a big budget, made for TV movie. CAROLINE: That’s not great.  Laura Linney costars.  How was she? RYAN: She’s always good and Bill ..

Killing Them Softly Review

  RYAN: Killing Them Softly is the new movie starring Brad Pitt and it’s kind of flying in under the radar this season.  He’s a big star and he hasn’t been in a big role in a while and this movie is hitting during awards season but not garnering much buzz.  CAROLINE: Well I didn’t ..

Australia Review

Australia Review

RYAN: One of my most anticipated movies of the year, “Australia,” which re-teams Nicole Kidman with director Baz Luhrmann, is quite a masterpiece. CAROLINE: I’m not sure that’s the word I would use. RYAN: Didn’t you think it was an epic, gorgeous, sweeping tale? CAROLINE: Sure, but masterpiece implies that it’s his best movie ever ..
