RYAN: Much to the delight of Trekkies around the world, the new movie version of “Star Trek” is finally in theaters courtesy of “Lost” and “Alias” creator, J.J. Abrams. CAROLINE: Ummmm…. yeah. I really have nothing to say about it. This movie was not for me. I was bored, and quite frankly, I didn’t enjoy ..
RYAN: “Rudo y Cursi” is a new Spanish language film from writer/director Carlos Cuaron. CAROLINE: I wonder how he got into the business. RYAN: I know! He’s the brother of Alfonso Cuaron, who directed some of my favorite movies like “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” “A Little Princess” and “Y Tu Mama Tambien.” ..
RYAN: One of the movies we’re much anticipating later this year is the Guy Ritchie directed “Sherlock Holmes.” CAROLINE: Mostly cos it’s starring Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel McAdams. RYAN: And Jude Law. It is a hot cast indeed. And we’re happy to give you our first look at the movie. CAROLINE: Here’s RDJ and ..
RYAN: One of last year’s biggest Oscar contenders, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is new on DVD today, but I can’t say I’ll be rushing out to buy it. CAROLINE: Oh God, no. There’s a special 2-disc edition for those who care, but I’m not one of them. This movie has some great stuff ..
RYAN: Would you like some more Hugh Jackman? CAROLINE: Yes, please. RYAN: Me too and we’re about to get it.

RYAN: Hugh Jackman is back as the iconic comic book character in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”CAROLINE: It’s a sequel to the first three “X-Men” movies, but it’s technically a prequel. RYAN: And I’d like to officially say, “Welcome to 2009, Mr. Big Summer Blockbuster!” CAROLINE: It hits all the right notes that a blockbuster should, with ..
CAROLINE: I’ve been hotly anticipating the latest romantic comedy, “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” for a long time now, mostly because I love Jennifer Garner. Matthew McConaughey, however, annoys me more and more lately, and I’m starting to think he just plays the same guy in every movie.RYAN: Totally! I’ve liked him in a few movies ..

RYAN: At last, pun intended, Beyoncé returns to the silver screen. CAROLINE: [laughs’ ‘Cuz in her last movie she played Etta James. RYAN: Correct! “Cadillac Records.” She’s certainly making movies and this one is the first in which she doesn’t sing. This film did not screen for critics; however, I did attend the studio’s courtesy ..
CAROLINE: “The Soloist” is a new movie starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. that was supposed to come out last fall. For some reason, it got bumped to this random release date, and after seeing it, I kinda know why. RYAN: Yikes. Was it that bad? CAROLINE: No, it’s not terrible or anything; but ..
CAROLINE: I was unable to attend the “Fighting” screening with you, which really didn’t disappoint me. This movie looks like a “Fight Club” rip-off; and a bad one at that. How was it? RYAN: Wow. You’re, like, a psychic! CAROLINE: [laughs’ Is it really that awful? RYAN: Pretty much. It’s terribly predictable and foolish. CAROLINE: ..
CAROLINE: “Every Little Step” is a new documentary about the musical, “A Chorus Line,” both the original and the revival, the latter of which we saw together on Broadway.
