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? ..
RYAN: We were lucky enough to attend the New York premiere of “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” and it was more than a movie; it was an experience. CAROLINE: Honestly, I was prepared to be kind of disturbed by this movie knowing how much Michael Jackson had diminished over the years. He’d gotten so painfully ..
RYAN: I just saw “Saw VI.” Did you saw it? CAROLINE: Mercifully, I did not saw it. I saw the original “Saw” and vowed never to saw again. This franchise is way too gory for me. RYAN: This movie didn’t screen for critics, as usual, but Lionsgate did provide a courtesy screening for us. I’ve ..
RYAN: I licked it. I licked it a lot. CAROLINE: [laughs’ “Amelia” was good? I’d assumed it might be since it’s an unabashed plea on behalf of one Hilary Swank for yet another Oscar. Which she’ll probably deserve, LBH. RYAN: Too true. And she serves as the film’s exec producer as well as star so ..
RYAN: I remember when I first read about “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant,” the first thing I thought was, “seriously… another vampire movie?!?!” But then I saw the trailer and I couldn’t wait to see it. CAROLINE: I missed the screening. How was it? RYAN: In a word… amazing! CAROLINE: Really? I know there’s ..
CAROLINE: We love Adam Shankman as a judge on TV’s So You Think You Can Dance, but aside from that, he’s a well known choreographer and director. RYAN: He directed the movie musical “Hairspray” and also last year’s “Bedtime Stories,” both which I liked. CAROLINE: He’s talented, funny and cool. We even talked to him ..
RYAN: “The Stepfather” did not screen for critics and after attending the courtesy screening, I can see why. CAROLINE: I figured. We know horror movies don’t often screen for critics, since the studios assume only the “niche audience” horror fans come out to see them. RYAN: ‘Tis the season for the scary flick and this ..
RYAN: “Where the Wild Things Are,” based on the popular children’s book, should be called loosely based. CAROLINE: Well it had to be. The book is very short and it had to be turned into a feature length film. RYAN: True but everything I read about the project prior to seeing the film stated it ..
RYAN: “Law Abiding Citizen” is the new action thriller starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. CAROLINE: The trailer did look a little exciting but sadly, I had to miss this one. So how was it? RYAN: It wasn’t brilliant but it was entertaining. Of course, I love Gerry B. and he looks terrif in the ..
RYAN: We’ve now seen “Paris, je t’aime 2” also known as “New York, I Love You.” Next up will be “Detroit, I Hate You.” CAROLINE: [laughs’ That would be brilliant. Sadly, “New York, I Love You” is a serious downgrade from the adorable “Paris, je t’aime.” As a New Yorker, I had such high hopes ..
CAROLINE: I was so excited for “Couples Retreat” because the trailer was hilarious and the cast is so fab. Sadly, it kinda sucked. RYAN: Wow, I’m sorry to hear that because I know you were eagerly anticipating it. I, on the other hand, wasn’t been looking forward to it since I’m a bitter single. CAROLINE: ..
CAROLINE: I had the great pleasure of seeing “An Education,” a movie about a young girl’s treacherous foray into early adulthood, which opens tomorrow in limited release. Sadly, you were not with me. RYAN: No, I couldn’t make it, and I’m really bummed because you’ve been raving about it. What was so good about it? ..
