APPALOOSA

RYAN: So how was the new rock tour “Appaloosa”? CAROLINE: [laughs’ Not to be confused with Lollapalooza, “Appaloosa” is the new Western from director/actor Ed “I Have No” Harris. RYAN: I love it. And I love even more that you saw this movie without me because I had zero interest. Was it as good as ..

MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL

RYAN: I just wanna sing “My Best Friend’s Girl” all day since it was playing during the credits of this movie. CAROLINE: It’s a great song and it appears several times throughout the film, which I liked. Just so you know what kind of movie you’re getting here, this was directed by the same guy ..

New On DVD

CAROLINE: Today’s most significant DVD release needs no introduction – “Sex and the City: The Movie.” RYAN: It’s just too exciting! And there’s a special 2-disc edition with an extended version of the movie. We were lucky enough to attend the super-fab DVD release party last week at the New York Public Library, and we ..

HOUNDDOG

CAROLINE: The new movie “Hounddog,” better known as “The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie,” can be summed up in two words: Elvis and snakes. RYAN: It’s like the cracked out version of the American Girl movie. This ain’t no Kit Kittredge. Honestly, I’ve never really liked Dakota Fanning, but I thought it would be interesting to ..

THE DUCHESS

RYAN: Out in limited release today, “The Duchess” is Keira Knightley’s annual period piece. CAROLINE: [laughs’ I kept thinking that as I was watching. She has indeed done many a British period film; but she’s always good at it. RYAN: We can pretty much expect a period drama from her every year and an Oscar ..

LAKEVIEW TERRACE

CAROLINE: “Lakeview Terrace” is a provocative new film starring one your favorite actors, Patrick Wilson, one of our mutual favorites, Kerry Washington and one very menacing Samuel L. Jackson. RYAN: It covers the very controversial topic of racism, including an interracial relationship between Patrick and Kerry W. and their racist neighbor, Samuel L.J. And the ..

GHOST TOWN

RYAN: The new movie “Ghost Town” is a cross between “Ghost” and “Roxanne.” Go. CAROLINE: I’d say it’s a little bit of “Just Like Heaven” mixed with “The Sixth Sense” minus the horror aspect. In other words, the premise isn’t at all original, but I really liked this movie nonetheless. It made me both laugh ..

TYLER PERRY’S THE FAMILY THAT PREYS

RYAN: We’ve just seen “Desperate Housewives: The Lost Episode.” CAROLINE: [laughs’ You’re just saying that because Alfre Woodard’s in it. RYAN: Yes, but “Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys” is a real female-driven story. CAROLINE: I have to stop you right there to address the question that’s been plaguing us for months – why does ..

New on DVD

CAROLINE: There are a bunch of new movies on DVD today; some good, some bad, some really bad. My personal favorite is “Made of Honor” starring Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan. RYAN: You loved this movie. CAROLINE: I know! It’s such a chick flick and so utterly predictable, but I couldn’t get enough of ..

TOWELHEAD

RYAN: Two of our all-time favorite actors, Toni Collette and Aaron Eckhart, co-star in a riveting new film, “Towelhead.” CAROLINE: I knew very little about this movie prior to seeing it, though I’d heard it was a hit at Sundance and that it was about a Middle Eastern girl living in America. What I did ..

THE WOMEN

CAROLINE: It’s all about the women in “The Women,” mainly Meg Ryan and Annette Bening, in this remake of a 1939 movie that I’ve never seen. RYAN: Nor have I. That’s why I had to bring my friend Eric to the screening with us. He loves the original movie and can offer some insightful comparison. ..
