CAROLINE: You know I have an aversion to animated films so I’ll let you go ahead and review this one. RYAN: Yes. It’s best you keep your biased opinion to yourself [laughs’. CAROLINE: I just get bored after an hour. This one is about owls and features the voices of Geoffrey Rush, Helen Mirren and ..
RYAN: Oh my God I’m dying. Oh my God I’m dying. Oh my God I’m dying. CAROLINE: Honey, WTF? RYAN: The official trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 was released last night and it’s literally the best trailer I’ve ever seen in mine entire life! I’m dying. It literally killed me ..
RYAN: Jack Goes Boating marks the directorial debut of Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. CAROLINE: It’s based on a play in which he co-starred along with Daphne Rubin-Vega of Rent fame, and John Ortiz. All three actors reprise their roles in the movie, and they’ve added Amy Ryan as Phil Hoffman’s love interest. They’re all ..
CAROLINE: So there’s this new documentary Catfish that a lot of people are talking about that I was lucky enough to see a few weeks ago so no one had ruined it for me. RYAN: I’ve heard of it, of course, and you encouraged me to see it, but I know very little about it. ..
RYAN: The Town is the second directorial effort from Ben Affleck, and it’s arguably as good as his first film, Gone Baby Gone. CAROLINE: I think it’s even better; maybe a little more refined. I think we’re all just so surprised at what a good director Ben Affleck is! This is a totally compelling and ..
RYAN: You were much more excited to see Easy A than I was, probably because I’d barely seen the trailer for it. CAROLINE: I loved the trailer. It made me LOL every time, I loved the cast, it looked smart and funny and I had such high hopes… but I didn’t love the movie. Liked ..
CAROLINE: The Romantics is a pretentious, very low budget indie-feeling movie based on a book of the same title. RYAN: And the author of the novel actually wrote and directed the film. It’s got a great cast, but I couldn’t believe how low budge it was. The look of the film is very grainy, and ..
RYAN: Never Let Me Go is a sci-fi/romantic drama based on a book that you read and I didn’t. CAROLINE: I read the book years ago, and while I remember enjoying it and liking the premise, I found it slow and a tad boring. I’d say the same thing about the movie. Once you find ..
RYAN: I kinda couldn’t wait to see this in order to discern just what the eff was going on with Joaquin Phoenix. CAROLINE: His “meltdown” is legendary: retiring from acting at the peak of his career and then announcing his intentions to become a hip hop artist. Does this documentary explain the insanity? RYAN: Documentary ..
CAROLINE: Opening in limited release this week is the teen sex comedy The Virginity Hit, and I can’t say whether it’ll be one or not. I skipped the screening. How was it? RYAN: Not very inspired. It’s really just a bunch of kids talking about sex and smoking pot. The virginity hit is the hit ..
RYAN: I’m happy to see Drew Barrymore acting vs. directing in her new romantic comedy, Going the Distance, which co-stars her real-life boyfriend, Justin Long. CAROLINE: Are they dating these days? They’re so on-again, off-again. RYAN: Yes, I have it confirmed from a good source – they’re on again. CAROLINE: I think they were on ..
RYAN: I knew very little about Machete when walking into the press screening for it and whoa! was I ever surprised! CAROLINE: Well it’s Robert Rodriguez. You kind of know you’re in for a Quentin Tarantino-esque film with him. RYAN: It is all that. I was kind of blown away by it. CAROLINE: Honey, I ..
