FLIGHT

RYAN: This is the new movie from my favorite director, Robert Zemeckis, who did some of the best movies ever including one of my very favorite films, Contact. CAROLINE: I know you love that.  And this is his first live action film after a couple animated.  How was it? RYAN: Brilliant on so many levels!  ..

CLOUD ATLAS

RYAN: This is one whopper of a movie!  The cast is A-list and the length is three hours. CAROLINE: Can we start there please? Did it really need to be that long? RYAN: Yes and no.  As with Avatar, I can’t really identify a scene I would have cut out, but at the same time, ..

FUN SIZE

RYAN: We just saw the new Halloween tween flick Fun Size, produced by Nickelodeon and starring TV star Victoria Justice in her big screen debut. GABY: I like her on Victoriousand I liked this movie because it takes place over Halloween and not too many movies are like that.  I love to see that this ..

CHASING MAVERICKS

RYAN: This is a movie for surfers.  Really, if you don’t surf or care about surfing, you won’t be into this.  I certainly wasn’t. CAROLINE: Isn’t it based on a true story? RYAN: Yes and that part makes me feel guilty because it pays tribute to someone but it still doesn’t make it a good ..

ALEX CROSS

  RYAN: Tyler Perry stars as Dr. Alex Cross.  This is the reboot to Morgan Freeman’s Alex Cross films Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls. KIM: I’m thinking it’s a prequel.  I didn’t know going in, but in those movies he was in DC and in this one he’s deciding whether to go ..

THE SESSIONS

RYAN: We screened The Sessions pretty early, prior to any real buzz about it, so all I knew going in was Helen Hunt Sex Worker and I was like, “Sign me up!”  Had I paid more attention, I would have realized she’s not a hooker.CAROLINE: [laughs’ I knew a bit about this movie because John ..

BUTTER

CAROLINE: I was so excited to catch a screening of Butter, which was originally supposed to come out last year.  I was wondering when we’d finally get to see it!  RYAN: It stars Jennifer Garner, who’s one of our faves.  That almost makes it a must-see for moi, despite her recent not-so-hot performance in The ..

HERE COMES THE BOOM

RYAN: This is just one of the dumbest movies of the year.  I literally was thinking, whilst watching, that I want to stick a pin in my eye.  KIM: [laughs’ I didn’t think it was quite that bad. RYAN: It was just so boring and predictable and typical, corny, Adam Sandler humor.  If you like ..

ARGO

RYAN: Ben Affleck, or B’Affleck, as I like to call him, directs and stars in this one, as he did in The Town.  He also directed Gone Baby Gone; and so far, I’ve been impressed by all of his directorial efforts. CAROLINE: And how does this one compare? RYAN: It’s stunning.  His previous films were both totally ..
