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. RYAN: We were both totally underwhelmed by the Broadway production, but this movie was as good as we wanted the revival to be. CAROLINE: Totally; it ..
RYAN: It’s just what the world has been waiting for – a new Zac Efron movie. The ‘tweens and teens who love “High School Musical” must think it’s their birthday what with the release of “17 Again.” CAROLINE: As a thirty-something, I’m much more excited about Matthew Perry being in a movie again. Much to ..
RYAN: “State of Play” is the best film of the year so far. CAROLINE: Easily. It has a stellar cast, and it’s based on a popular BBC mini-series that I’ve always meant to watch on DVD. RYAN: The great thing about the cast is that it’s revealed slowly as the movie goes on. We all ..
RYAN: “Lymelife” is a new indie movie starring Alec Baldwin, who’s all the rage now what with the ginormous popularity of TV’s “30 Rock.” CAROLINE: Love him. He’s enjoying quite the career resurgence since that show, winning awards and all. I’m sorry I missed this movie. How is he in it? RYAN: He’s terrific. This ..
RYAN: It’s all beginning to make sense now. CAROLINE: What is? RYAN: Why Drew Barrymore and her ex, Justin Long, have been seen sort of on-again. CAROLINE: Yes they have reportedly been canoodling on and off lately. RYAN: It stands to reason since they’re teaming up for a new romantic comedy. CAROLINE: I knew it! ..
CAROLINE: Ryan, I’ve thanked you many times for seeing children’s films without me, and “Hannah Montana: The Movie” is almost worse because it’s a teen/’tween movie. But you have once again valiantly taken one for the team and seen it sans moi. Discuss. RYAN: As you know, I’m usually happy to take one for the ..
RYAN: There’s a new comedy in town starring Seth Rogen, “Observe and Report.” CAROLINE: Honestly, Seth Rogen is the least funny thing about this movie, which surprised me. He’s not bad or anything, but he’s not hilarious either. He’s definitely the star, but the goings on around him are much funnier than he is. RYAN: ..
CAROLINE: It’s a pretty big week for DVD releases. Let’s start with the Oscar nominated “Doubt,” which certainly wasn’t the best movie of last year; but it was pretty good. RYAN: I adore Amy Adams, and of course, Meryl is always phenomenal. Philip Seymour Hoffman blew me away too. It’s a stellar cast. They were ..
RYAN: We really can’t say it enough, how great the new digital 3D looks in movies. And the films are doing relatively well. CAROLINE: Plus, didn’t you say that, like, almost every Disney movie coming out from now on is gonna be in 3D? RYAN: Yeah. But apparently that’s not enough. Studios are dipping back ..
RYAN: After seeing the new movie “Adventureland,” I kinda wish I’d worked at a theme park during college.CAROLINE: [laughs’ This movie did make it look sort of fun. But I think I would have liked working at an amusement park only if “Rock Me Amadeus” was blasted on a regular basis, as it is in ..
RYAN: Hear that? CAROLINE: Hear what? RYAN: That thud? CAROLINE: Huh? RYAN: That’s the sound of fans everywhere hitting the ground to the news “Sex and the City – The Sequel” is coming out next year – May 28, 2010, to be exact. CAROLINE: … RYAN: Seriously? CAROLINE: I just screamed out loud in my ..
CAROLINE: We’re not sure why the world needs “Fast & Furious,” the fourth installment of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise, but here it is. And I want to thank you for being gentlemanly enough to see it without me. RYAN: I definitely took one for the team. I feel like you should pay me. ..
