RYAN: I really liked “He’s Just Not That Into You,” which stars a plethora of Hollywood A-listers. CAROLINE: Since we had high hopes for this movie, I am pleased to report that it didn’t disappoint. And while it’s certainly not a perfect movie, it has some really great scenes and some out-and-out hilarious moments. I ..
RYAN: This has to be good news for either Dakota Fanning or Abigail Breslin. The Hasbro board game “Candy Land” is being made into a live action movie. CAROLINE: I’m out. Though I did love that game growing up. RYAN: [laughs’ I know you hate kids’ movies. But how cool would it be if they ..
RYAN: “Coraline” is the new movie from the director of “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” which is not Tim Burton by the way. His name is Henry Selick – Burton just produced “Nightmare.” And “Coraline” is just as good, if not better, as that classic. CAROLINE: I like the title of this movie because her name ..
CAROLINE: “The Wrestler” marks the comeback of one scary-faced Mickey Rourke. As we all know by now, he’s received many accolades for this role, and is even Oscar nominated. RYAN: Although he does a fine job in this movie, I don’t think it’s an Oscar worthy performance. I think an Oscar winning performance is when ..
RYAN: Lots of new movies on DVD today, starting with “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” which is one of my favorite animated films of last year. CAROLINE: I so couldn’t be bothered to see it. RYAN: It’s very cute, and it has the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Alec Baldwin and many others. ..
RYAN: As a rule, you and I love romantic comedies. But sadly, “New in Town” is a major exception. CAROLINE: Ugh. Why do people keep casting Renée Zellweger in romantic leading roles? Granted, she was great as Bridget Jones… but I just can’t take it anymore. She’s so pinched and skinny. RYAN: But her eyes ..
CAROLINE: I was very excited to see the new Liam Neeson flick “Taken” because the trailer was so gripping. The only thing that made me nervous was that it was originally supposed to come out in September, but got bumped till now; and as we know, that’s not a good sign. RYAN: I too was ..
RYAN: “The Uninvited” is a new horror movie starring Elizabeth Banks who we both really like, and I know she’s what drew you to this movie. But I was psyched for it just because I love scary movies. CAROLINE: They’re not my favorite because I don’t like having nightmares afterward. This is one of those ..
RYAN: I practically had to drag myself to the courtesy screening of “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans,” which is a prequel to the first two “Underworld” movies. I didn’t love the first one and I didn’t even bother to see the second one. CAROLINE: You couldn’t have paid me to see this movie. Kate Beckinsale ..
CAROLINE: There are a ton of new movies on DVD today, almost all of which we really enjoyed. Let’s start with the Oscar-nominated “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” RYAN: This is a great one from Woody Allen and if you missed it in the theater, you must rent it immediately. It’s so charming and well-written. CAROLINE: I ..

RYAN: Tom Cruise’s controversial film, “Valkyrie,” suffered from a roving release date; it was pushed back, then forward, then back again, and wound up coming out during holiday season ’08, which is prime Oscar release time. CAROLINE: I have to admit that I just wasn’t that interested in seeing this movie, which is why I’ve ..
