EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

RYAN: Extraordinary Measures stars Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser and is based on a true story. And a book. CAROLINE: It’s the first feature from the newly formed CBS Films, and it feels more like an ABC After School Special. Someone forgot to tell CBS they’re making movies now, not TV. RYAN: It’s seriously the ..

TOOTH FAIRY

RYAN: I may have been the only person over the age of ‘tween who was looking forward to the new movie Tooth Fairy starring Dwayne Johnson. CAROLINE: You speak the truth. I could not have been cajoled to see this movie even with the promise of untold riches. And Julie Andrews. RYAN: We all know ..

CRAZY HEART

CAROLINE: I’ve been waiting for weeks for you to see one of my favorite movies of 2009, Crazy Heart, starring recent Golden Globe winner, Jeff Bridges. RYAN: Honey, the wait is over. I’ve seen it and it’s one of the best naps I’ve ever had. CAROLINE: I knew you wouldn’t like it! You don’t like ..

GGs – What They Wore

RYAN: So now the awards are over, let’s just point out all that anyone really cares about today… who wore what. CAROLINE: Well until the Oscar noms come out, anyway. RYAN: Here’s who we thought was the best dressed. Zoe Saldana: CAROLINE: She really had quite the 2009, what with “Avatar” and “Star Trek.” RYAN: ..

THE BOOK OF ELI

CAROLINE: Denzel Washington stars in the apocalypse movie du jour, The Book of Eli, which is a combination of several disaster movies we’ve seen before. RYAN: It is, but I feel like it’s told in an original way. And it’s shot mostly in black and white. CAROLINE: It’s not really black and white though. RYAN: ..

THE SPY NEXT DOOR

RYAN: Ok brace yourself. It’s not often we rip a movie a new one. CAROLINE: Uh oh. You know I don’t like kids’ movies to begin with and mercifully you were willing to see “The Spy Next Door” without me. But you usually like kids’ flicks. What went wrong? RYAN: Um, everything. CAROLINE: Begin with ..

New on DVD

CAROLINE: One of last year’s most critically acclaimed movies, The Hurt Locker, is new on DVD today, and I suspect a lot of people will want to rent it. Not many people saw it in the theater. RYAN: Including me. You saw it though. CAROLINE: I did, and I really don’t get all the buzz ..

THE YOUNG VICTORIA

RYAN: “The Young Victoria” is a period piece starring Emily Blunt, and it’s getting a lot of buzz because of her Golden Globe nomination. CAROLINE: I wanted to see this movie pretty much solely for that reason; she’s also on Oscar watch. I wasn’t sure I needed to see another biopic about a British royal, ..

LEAP YEAR

RYAN: I had a celeb sighting at the “Leap Year” screening. Did you know Piers Morgan was in the audience? CAROLINE: Somehow I missed that. But here’s my question about this movie – why 2010? It’s not even a leap year, Amy Adams! RYAN: I love her so much; she can do no wrong in ..

DAYBREAKERS

RYAN: “Daybreakers” is a new sci-fi vampire flick that I knew very little about going in but still enjoyed. CAROLINE: All I knew was that it was a sci-fi vampire flick, which is why I sent you to the screening without me. RYAN: That was a good call because this is definitely a shocking movie. ..
