CAROLINE: You had to view “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” without me because I was otherwise engaged. So what’s the DL on it? RYAN: The title about sums it up. CAROLINE: Shut up. That’s all that happens? RYAN: Basically. Someone loses a freaking earring and that’s about the drama in this fine film. CAROLINE: ..
CAROLINE: Who is more excited than we about a new “Sex and the City 2” trailer?! RYAN: I know! I feel like SATC is a genre unto itself. CAROLINE: Seriously. The fact that they’re making a second movie is almost too much for me to handle. Though I’m not sure what the girls are doing ..
CAROLINE: I was curious about this little movie that no one’s really talking about, “The Last Station,” since it garnered two Golden Globe nominations in the acting categories. RYAN: Yes, for Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer. I must confess I haven’t heard much about this movie. What’s it about? CAROLINE: It’s about the final years ..
RYAN: I finally, finally, finally saw “The Princess and the Frog” and OMG it’s perfect. You don’t realize how much you miss classic Disney animation storytelling until you see this. It’s so fabulous. CAROLINE: Take a breath and tell me all about it. RYAN: It’s just so good at every level – 2D animation is ..
RYAN: “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” was easily one of my most anticipated films of the year. One look at the trailer and I was completely entranced. CAROLINE: I know. I remember you reacting immediately to it. I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the screening with you. It’s Heath Ledger’s last film. RYAN: I ..
RYAN: The new Guy Ritchie film, “Sherlock Holmes,” is not only my favorite Guy Ritchie movie ever, but it’s also my favorite movie of 2009. CAROLINE: Wow! I didn’t like it as much as you did, but I do love some Robert Downey Jr. RYAN: It co-stars Jude Law as Watson, and one of our ..
CAROLINE: The much anticipated Nancy Meyers movie “It’s Complicated” comes out on Christmas, and it’s the second good Meryl Streep movie of the year. It co-stars Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, who will be co-hosting the Oscars this year, along with John Krasinski and Lake Bell. RYAN: I love a movie with a good love ..
RYAN: There’s a new sequel in town. CAROLINE: I think you mean “Squeakquel.” RYAN: That’s so clever, isn’t it? I actually loved the first “Alvin and the Chipmunks” movie and have been really looking forward to the Squeakquel. CAROLINE: You know I don’t do kids movies, so I skipped this one. How was it? RYAN: ..
RYAN: We’ve finally seen one of the movies we’ve talked more about than any other this year, the musical “Nine.” For those of you who don’t follow your musical theater, it’s about an Italian film director in the ’60s who’s a major womanizer. CAROLINE: We actually saw this show on Broadway together many years ago ..
RYAN: James Cameron’s long awaited epic sci-fi adventure, “Avatar,” is finally in theaters in 3D, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s the movie of the decade. CAROLINE: It’s quite a spectacle. I hesitate to call it a movie because it’s really more of an experience. RYAN: It’s almost like a theme park attraction. As ..
CAROLINE: I really wasn’t looking forward to “Did You Hear About the Morgans?” to be honest. It doesn’t really seem like the kind of the movie that should come out this time of year, you know? And up against “Avatar” no less. RYAN: Totally. But I’ll take a good rom com in any season, honey. ..
CAROLINE: Lo and behold, fashion designer Tom Ford has directed a movie! RYAN: What has the world come to? We’re used to music video and commercial directors breaking into to film, but this is kind of a new thing for a designer. CAROLINE: Honestly, if I hadn’t seen this movie with mine own eyes, I ..
