RYAN: Sign us up for any movie starring Robert Downey Jr.! “Tropic Thunder” is new in theaters today. CAROLINE: We’re a little leery of anything Ben Stiller, as we’ve discussed in the past. RYAN: But the Robert Downey Jr. factor negates that. CAROLINE: Ben Stiller not only co-stars, he also directed this movie. Luckily he ..
CAROLINE: That Sarah Jessica Parker movie we loved earlier this year, “Smart People,” is new on DVD today. RYAN: OMG it was hilarious! I loved Dennis Quaid for all his chunkiness and grumpiness. And how great was that Ellen Page? CAROLINE: She was awesome in this, playing a very Alex P. Keaton type character; but ..
CAROLINE: Question – how do you know when you’re the hottest chick and baddest badass in Hollywood? RYAN: Umm… you get to be in a new Harry Potter movie? CAROLINE: No. You get tapped to take over the lead role in an action movie that was originally written for a man. Scheduled to play said ..
CAROLINE: So I checked out the new movie, “Elegy,” starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz, which is based on a Philip Roth novel. RYAN: Sorry I missed the screening. I was out of town. CAROLINE: Well, it would have been nice to have you there to help distract me from my boredom. RYAN: Ouch! ..
RYAN: At long last, the sequel to “The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya…” – no, wait. I mean, it’s “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” And if ever there needed to be a sequel to a film, it’s this one, because two of its leading ladies have become huge TV stars since the first ..
CAROLINE: Remember how much we loved “Something’s Gotta Give” with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton? RYAN: Of course – Diane did full frontal! And it was one of the few movies where the sight of two older folks going at it didn’t make me want to gag. CAROLINE: I absolutely adored that movie, and was ..
CAROLINE: I had the unexpected pleasure of actually enjoying the new comedy “Pineapple Express,” starring one chunky Seth Rogen and one cute James Franco among others. I was fully prepared for it to be stupid and unfunny, but I was totally into it. RYAN: I had zero interest in seeing this and I feel sorry ..
CAROLINE: The Jodie Foster/Abigail Breslin flick, “Nim’s Island,” is new on DVD today, and I can’t say I loved this one even a little. RYAN: LBH, I liked it mainly because of Gerard Butler.

RYAN: It’s almost like a holiday when things like this happen in the world. CAROLINE: That’s an appropriate analogy for you. You must be feeling like it’s your birthday.

RYAN: I really enjoyed the first two Mummy movies, so I couldn’t wait to see the third one, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” CAROLINE: I, unlike you, hadn’t seen the first two, which didn’t stop me from hating this one. RYAN: Well, not seeing the first two wouldn’t be a reason to hate ..
RYAN: There’s a new Kevin Costner movie in town called “Swing Vote” and it sucks. CAROLINE: [laughs’ I had to opt out of this screening due to other plans, and I can’t say I’m disappointed. It seemed like a family film, which isn’t my bag. Tell me more. RYAN: For starters, it’s two hours and ..
CAROLINE: Can you believe? Jennifer Lopez has signed on to star in a new romantic comedy called “The Governess.” RYAN: Wow! We haven’t seen her in a movie in ages. I’d just about given up on her.
