FANTASTIC MR. FOX

CAROLINE: I wasn’t interested in this movie because I hate animation; but this one does look a little different and I was a bit intrigued by the voice casting of Meryl Streep and George Clooney. Nonetheless, I couldn’t get my game on for it. How was it? RYAN: It was… eh. It was fine. CAROLINE: ..

THE MESSENGER

RYAN: “The Messenger” is a new little indie movie from a first-time director starring Woody Harrelson, Samantha Morton and one of my favorite actors, Ben Foster. CAROLINE: Why do you like him so much again? RYAN: He’s a very intense, subtle actor who I think is totally underrated. And I think he’s hot. CAROLINE: Ah ..

2012

RYAN: I’m so excited about “2012” because the special effects look so amazing… but sadly, I missed this screening with you. I’m sure you would have been grabbing my arm the whole time. How was it? CAROLINE: Actually, it kind of stank. I was anticipating great special effects too, which it does have; but the ..

Movie News – Hansel & Gretel

RYAN: I don’t know if you know this about me but my favorite fairy tale is Hansel & Gretel. CAROLINE: I’m not surprised. You have a sweet tooth and you love witches, the story has both. RYAN: And it’s been made into videos and movies before but now it’s getting a serious makeover from the ..

THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

RYAN: “The Men Who Stare at Goats” is the new George Clooney flick, but the real star is Ewan McGregor, my favorite actor ever. CAROLINE: I’m sorry, honey, but Ewan was so wrong for this movie. I didn’t buy his character at all. And he needs to polish his American accent. RYAN: What? I’m shocked! ..

PRECIOUS

CAROLINE: The much anticipated Mariah Carey/Mo’Nique movie, “Precious,” is out in theaters in limited release, and it’s been endorsed by none other than Tyler Perry and Oprah herself. This movie has been causing quite a stir in the film community ever since Sundance. RYAN: I really wanted to see this movie and had heard so ..

DISNEY’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL

RYAN: After seeing “A Christmas Carol,” all I can say is, “Now that’s a movie!” CAROLINE: Well, it’s an animated movie. I’ll give you that. It’s in 3D and the animation itself is pretty incredible. RYAN: It’s phenomenal! Robert Zemeckis’s technique is so fabulous. The characters look real, and you can see the actors’ facial ..

THE FOURTH KIND

RYAN: I was so excited to see the new sci-fi thriller, “The Fourth Kind,” because I love both this genre and Milla Jovovich. CAROLINE: When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it looked intriguing; especially the way she addresses the camera and talks about how the movie is based on real ..

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

RYAN: We’ve finally seen the greatly hyped “Paranormal Activity.” It only took us a month. CAROLINE: I was trying to avoid it since I really don’t enjoy horror movies, but we just couldn’t ignore this one. Maybe it’s just because we’ve heard over and over how scary it is, but… it wasn’t that scary. RYAN: ..

THE BOYS ARE BACK

CAROLINE: You know how I love Clive Owen, so I was very excited to hear he had a new drama out, “The Boys are Back.” The beauty of it all was that I got to attend a screening with Clive himself doing Q&A afterward. He was great, but the movie… not so much. RYAN: Oh ..

GENTLEMEN BRONCOS

RYAN: I knew basically nothing about “Gentlemen Broncos” other than it was directed by the same guy who did “Napoleon Dynamite” and “Nacho Libre.” I thought it had no one famous in it and figured it was lame until I watched the trailer and saw that it has Sam Rockwell and is about a science ..

New on DVD

CAROLINE: New on DVD this week is a direct to DVD, feature length film from Disney called “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.” Since it’s animated, you know I had little interest but can I predict you liked it? RYAN: Yes. In fact, I saw the first one too. CAROLINE: Oh, this was a sequel? ..
