Movie News – Nicolas Cage Witch Movie

RYAN: Your favorite actor is gonna be starring in a cool new spook movie. CAROLINE: Clive Owen? RYAN: No. Nic Cage. CAROLINE: Ew. I hate him. And you know that. RYAN: I was just joshin’ ya. He’s going to be costarring with Hellboy – Ron Perlman – in a witch movie. CAROLINE: What’s it about? ..

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

RYAN: We’ve been hearing such fantastic, like, “Must-See of the Fall” things about the new Barry Levinson movie, “What Just Happened.” How ever was it? CAROLINE: Honestly, it was so disappointing. I was really looking forward to this movie and it just about bored me to tears. RYAN: OMG! Why have we been hearing such ..

W.

RYAN: We learned very little new information about President George W. Bush in Oliver Stone’s new movie, “W.” But what’s most upsetting to me is that someone with a C average in college and a hard partying youth can become president of our great nation. CAROLINE: Well that’s hardly news. I was most taken aback ..

CITY OF EMBER

CAROLINE: Once again you’ve done me the kind favor of seeing a PG-rated film without me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. RYAN: Well, this time it’s your loss because you would have loved this movie. Did you enjoy “The Goonies” back in the day? CAROLINE: Yeah, ‘cuz I was 12. RYAN: This film skews ..

QUARANTINE

RYAN: Boo! CAROLINE: As if I’m not scared enough already. This movie looks so freaky and I’m so glad you saw it without me. RYAN: It’s not super scary, but it’s somewhat scary. It has all the facets of a typical horror film – the music stops, the camera moves really slowly and you know ..

New On DVD

CAROLINE: “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is new on DVD today! RYAN: That was such a fun movie! But it was really one to see on the big screen. CAROLINE: Definitely, but the real Indy fans will want to own the DVD or Blu-Ray too. It’s a special 2-disc edition with ..

ROCKNROLLA

RYAN: “RocknRolla” is the first Guy Ritchie film in a while that we’ve actually liked. CAROLINE: You could almost call it a comeback for him since most of the stuff he’s done since hooking up with Madonna has been critically panned. RYAN: Especially “Swept Away,” the one that she starred in. CAROLINE: This one stars ..

BODY OF LIES

RYAN: “Body of Lies,” starring Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, is yet another war movie. CAROLINE: Honestly, I thought Hollywood had learned its lesson after last year’s multiple war movie flops. I’m not saying this is a bad movie, but it’s another Middle East/terrorist/Iraq War movie; and I’m saying enough is enough. RYAN: As a ..

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY

RYAN: Tell me all about “Happy-Go-Lucky.” I didn’t get to go the screening with you. CAROLINE: It’s the new movie from Mike Leigh, who I enjoy very much as a director. He also made “Secrets & Lies” and the excellent “Vera Drake.” RYAN: Which starred Professor Umbridge. CAROLINE: Also known to adults as Imelda Staunton. ..

FLASH OF GENIUS

RYAN: “Flash of Genius” is similar in tone to “Erin Brockovich,” but it has less passion and spark. CAROLINE: I’m disappointed that I didn’t get to see this movie with you because I thought the trailer looked very interesting. It’s one of those based-on-a-true-story invention movies and it covers a topic I’d never even thought ..

New on DVD

RYAN: I had so much fun at the release party for the Disney classic “Sleeping Beauty” Platinum Edition new on DVD today. CAROLINE: Young at heart, as you are, you must have reverted totally to your inner little princess. RYAN: Oh, I did. It was a fabulous event in the grand ballroom at New York’s ..

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

RYAN: “Rachel Getting Married” is sort of the family drama version of “Cloverfield” because it was shot with the same shaky camera. I think they did it that way to make it look like an actual hand-held wedding video. CAROLINE: This movie is like a combination of “28 Days” and “Margot at the Wedding.” I ..
