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 ..
RYAN: We’ve pretty much agreed at this point that you’re off the hook when it comes to seeing children’s movies. You detest them. CAROLINE: Usually, yes. And you know I’d just be a Debbie Downer throughout the whole thing, so it’s better for you in the end too. RYAN: That being said, I saw “Beverly ..
RYAN: Michael Cera from “Superbad” and TV’s “Arrested Development” stars in the new teen comedy “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.” CAROLINE: I was really excited for this movie because I love the cast, especially Kat Dennings who was so great as the daughter in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.” But I’m a little disappointed in this. RYAN: ..
CAROLINE: The new movie “Blindness” is based on a very boring book that I read after several friends recommended it. Actually, I didn’t read it; I had to stop after about 80 pages because I was so bored. And I never do that. RYAN: Wow, I’m glad I never even picked it up. CAROLINE: It ..
RYAN: I checked out this little movie, “Humboldt County” only because it stars my favorite actress, Fairuza Balk. CAROLINE: Really, she’s your favorite? I would have guessed Anne Hathaway or Calista Flockhart. RYAN: I love them both dearly; Anne is fabulous and Calista because she’s Ally McBeal. But Fairuza played Dorothy in 1985’s “Return to ..
CAROLINE: I was hotly anticipating the movie “Eagle Eye” because the plot looked awesome and action-packed and possibly FBI-ish. Plus I dig Michelle Monaghan. And Shia LeBeouf’s OK. RYAN: Based on the trailer, I was very much looking forward to this film as well because it’s action film that seemed to have some scary/thrilling elements ..
RYAN: I love the title “Religulous” because it’s a cross between “religion” and “ridiculous.”CAROLINE: It also reminds me of “Caligula” in a weird way. RYAN: Um… OK. This is a documentary starring Bill Maher, who blows the lid off all religions, and it’s directed by the guy who made “Borat.” Suffice it to say it’s ..
CAROLINE: It’s a big day for DVD releases – “Iron Man” is finally here! If you missed this movie in the theater, I pity you. I think it might have been my favorite movie of the summer. RYAN: It was awesome. You really need the big screen to fully experience this one so if you’re ..
CAROLINE: “Choke,” starring Sam Rockwell is another movie based on a novel from the twisted mind of Chuck Palahniuk. RYAN: It’s an interesting title and it relates to the film in that it’s about a guy who likes to fake choking in restaurants. Well, actually, he makes himself choke on purpose, which is unfathomable to ..
RYAN: Let’s welcome back our favorite actress, Rachel McAdams, who co-stars as one of three U.S. soldiers in a very interesting new movie, “The Lucky Ones.” CAROLINE: Sadly, I missed the movie she was in earlier this year, “Married Life,” and I just don’t know why she’s been away from the big screen for so ..
RYAN: As you may recall, Caroline, I approached this movie with an all-time high baditude. CAROLINE: Please – I practically had to drag you kicking and screaming to the screening with me after insisting that it was going to be a huge fall movie and a must-see. It’s a Spike Lee movie for God’s sake. ..
RYAN: I don’t know what I was thinking but I’d assumed Rodanthe was located outside the U.S. Turns out “Nights in Rodanthe” actually takes place somewhere in America. CAROLINE: Yes, it’s on the coast of North Carolina and the setting is beyond gorgeous. This is another romantic drama starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane who ..
