SUPER 8

CAROLINE: I’m a huge fan of J.J. Abrams and all of his work. I’ve seen all of his TV shows and have been looking forward to this movie but had to miss the press screening for it. How was it? RYAN: It’s excellent. It’s seriously good and more than anything, it’s a love letter from ..

X MEN: FIRST CLASS

RYAN: One of my favorite feelings in the world: elation when walking out of the theater after seeing a thoroughly enjoyable movie. CAROLINE: Surely you’re not talking about the new X-Men movie. RYAN: I certainly am and don’t call me Shirley. CAROLINE: You really just went there? [laughs’ Tell me why I should regret missing ..

THE TREE OF LIFE

CAROLINE: I was so excited to see The Tree of Life, since I so thoroughly enjoyed director Terrence Malick’s last film, The New World. RYAN: I was excited for the Brad Pitt and Sean Penn aspect, but didn’t get to see this with you. How was it? CAROLINE: I don’t want to say I was ..

THE HANGOVER PART II

RYAN: I had relatively low expectations for The Hangover Part II because it looked like just a rehashing of the original. And that’s exactly what it turned out to be. CAROLINE: I would argue that this movie didn’t really need a sequel. The first one was quite funny and they should have just left well ..

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

CAROLINE: I took myself on a date last weekend to see the new Woody Allen flick, Midnight in Paris, since neither of us could attend last week’s screening. RYAN: I’m dying to see it!! Mostly because it stars our girl, Rachel McAdams. CAROLINE: That was a huge draw for me. And it offsets the fact ..

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES

RYAN: The fourth sequel to the Pirates franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, is all in 3D. CAROLINE: That’s the first thing you have to say about it? RYAN: Well, I loved it. CAROLINE: That’s better. And how was said 3D? RYAN: It was fine, but on the whole still unnecessary at this ..

BRIDESMAIDS

RYAN: We were highly anticipating Bridesmaids because we love comedy, we love the producer Judd Apatow and most importantly, we love Kristen Wiig. CAROLINE: She really is the star of this movie. When you see the ads, they make it look like she and Maya Rudolph are the big co-stars, but Kristen really owns the ..

SOMETHING BORROWED

RYAN: Something Borrowed is a new romantic comedy based on a popular book that you read and I didn’t. CAROLINE: It’s total chick lit/beach read material. Trashy, but enjoyable. Kinda like the movie, I suppose. RYAN: It stars Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinski from The Office. And can I just offer some free ..

THOR

RYAN: Academy Award Natalie Portman’s latest movie is Thor, though she’s not the main selling point. This is the first major blockbuster of the year, people! CAROLINE: Yes, it’s kicking off the summer season and setting the stage for the forthcoming Avengers movie from Marvel. RYAN: I’m looking forward to that one because it’ll have ..

THE BEAVER

CAROLINE: The much anticipated Mel Gibson movie, The Beaver, which is directed by Jodie Foster, comes out in limited release tomorrow. RYAN: This is the one where Mel uses a beaver puppet to talk for him. CAROLINE: Correct. Everyone’s been anticipating this movie a) because of its unusual premise and b) because Mel Gibson has ..

Red Carpet Video: Water for Elephants

CAROLINE: You attended the premiere of Water for Elephants at the historic Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC to interview the cast. Most importantly, how did Reese look? RYAN: Degorgeous, of course! It was a bit chilly out and she passed right behind Robert Pattinson as I was talking with him so I missed the opportunity to ..

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

CAROLINE: Water For Elephants is a new movie based on a very popular book from a few years ago that neither of us read. But I didn’t mind, because then the story wasn’t ruined for me. And it’s quite a dramatic story. RYAN: It stars Oscar winners Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon as a married ..
