RYAN: After seeing “Whip It,” all I want to say is, “Kill me.” CAROLINE: It wasn’t that bad, honey. But it also wasn’t very good, and I’m really disappointed. I was so in the mood for a fun, funny, girl power roller derby movie and instead I got a coming-of-age sports movie. I thought it ..
RYAN: My new favorite film of all time is “Zombieland.” OK, just kidding. CAROLINE: I had literally zero interest in seeing this movie and even made the disclaimer that I reserved the right to leave the screening early if it sucked. But it was actually kind of funny. RYAN: My expectations were so low based ..
CAROLINE: I’ve been very much looking forward to the new Ricky Gervais movie, “The Invention of Lying,” which co-stars Jennifer Garner and has loads of fun, unexpected cameos. RYAN: I’m a fan of Ricky Gervais and his brand of humor. He’s wearing many hats in this movie; he co-directed and co-wrote it too. I thought ..

CAROLINE: In honor of its 70th anniversary, “The Wizard of Oz” is being released for the first time on blu-ray DVD tomorrow, and I don’t know how you’ve managed to hold yourself together. RYAN: Seriously, it’s all I’ve ever wanted. I’ve been dying for the movie on iTunes forever and it’s finally all coming out. ..
RYAN: I’m just gonna say it. “Fame” is easily one of the worst movies of the year. CAROLINE: Wow! Really?! How can that be? RYAN: It was just completely disjointed. You don’t even care about the kids, and even though it’s contemporary, it’s totally puritanical. CAROLINE: Damn. I was really excited to see this, and ..
RYAN: “Surrogates” is the new action/sci-fi movie starring an actor I’d rather not see anymore, Bruce Willis. CAROLINE: What? We loved him in “Live Free or Die Hard” and “16 Blocks.” RYAN: Loved those movies, didn’t love him. He’s now doing these over-the-top facial expressions and reactions that are so campy they took me right ..
CAROLINE: “Bright Star” is the new movie about John Keats from director Jane Campion which has garnered all kinds of surprising Oscar buzz for Abbie Cornish, who was formerly known as the girl who broke up Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s marriage. RYAN: It’s about time she made a name for herself. I didn’t get ..
RYAN: “Jennifer’s Body” is the new movie starring Megan Fox, who’s hotter than hot right now. CAROLINE: Well between her alleged bad temper, her on/off relationship with David Silver, the self-confessed cutting and people saying she’s a wench to work with, she’s been having the best summer ever, press-wise. RYAN: And she looks hot doing ..
RYAN: “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” is a new animated film starring the voice talents of Bill Hader from TV’s “SNL,” Anna Faris, Niel Patrick Harris and Mr. T. CAROLINE: I’m not that sorry I had to miss this movie, though I thought it had the potential to be very cute. How was it? ..
RYAN: Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, “The Informant!” stars Matt Damon in a very paunchy role. CAROLINE: I love Matt Damon so I was very interested in seeing this, but I merely liked it. Didn’t love it. It got boring after a while. RYAN: We’re entering Oscar season and Matt Damon has buzz for this role, ..
RYAN: Sadly, there’s not much love happening in “Love Happens,” the new Jennifer Aniston/Aaron Eckhart movie. CAROLINE: What a lame title. I was prepared for heavy schmaltz in this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by the first 45 minutes or so. It was well acted, the story was established very well and I even ..
