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 ..

Movie News – Morgan Spurlock Takes Over

RYAN: You know I complain whenever I notice product placement in movies. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves ever. CAROLINE: I know honey; it does irk you but I barely notice it. RYAN: It’s just that it takes me out of the story because just then all I can think is “I wonder how ..
