RYAN: The new documentary “American Teen” follows four high school kids during their senior year in a Mid-western town in Indiana. CAROLINE: It’s supposed to be sort of the real life “Breakfast Club” although the Judd Nelson character wasn’t really represented. Though I guess that one kid Jacob represented elements of both the Judd Nelson ..
CAROLINE: Try to contain your excitement – “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay” is new on DVD today! RYAN: I cannot put my joy into words. Please note sarcasm. CAROLINE: This is definitely for the 25 and under dude set. It had a couple of laughs, I must admit; but mostly I was irritated ..
RYAN: I was highly anticipating the new movie version of “Brideshead Revisited” because it had such homoerotic buzz; but it’s not really a gay movie. CAROLINE: True, but it definitely has a love triangle with gay overtones. I really knew nothing about this movie other than that you wanted to see it and Emma Thompson ..
RYAN: How over the moon are we about the news that John Waters is working on a sequel to the movie version of “Hairspray”? CAROLINE: I’m a little lukewarm on the idea actually. RYAN: Don’t be such a Scrooge! We really liked the movie. CAROLINE: That’s exactly why I think it’s a bad idea. I ..
RYAN: “The X Files: I Want to Believe” is the second movie based on the popular TV series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who are both back. CAROLINE: Neither of us watched the show, but this movie pretty much stands on its own and we heard it didn’t require knowledge of the TV series. ..
CAROLINE: The new comedy “Step Brothers” starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly is half funny, half stupid. And by that I mean a quarter funny and three-quarters stupid. RYAN: I was totally dreading this movie even though I love Judd Apatow, who produced it. I just feel like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly ..
CAROLINE: We don’t know about you, but every time we hear about a new Sacha Baron Cohen project, we get really excited. RYAN: Beyond! I’m just loving the transition he’s made from goofy TV character guy to movie star. CAROLINE: In addition to his Sherlock Holmes role, he’s just signed on to produce and possibly ..
CAROLINE: It’s pretty slim pickings this week for DVD releases, which is fine since there are so many great summer movies to choose from in theaters. The only big DVD coming out today is “21,” the blackjack movie starring Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess. RYAN: This movie was decent, but not life-changing or ..
CAROLINE: I’m sorry, Ryan, but I had to send you to see “Space Chimps” without me. I am so done with animated movies this year, but I’d like a pat on the back for how many I’ve seen. RYAN: I’ll give you more than a pat on the back! I thought you might see one ..
CAROLINE: The much-anticipated “Dark Knight,” the second in the new Batman franchise, is finally in theaters. RYAN: I think this is the most anticipated film of the summer since “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” CAROLINE: Certainly. And it’s probably the best film of the summer, though it does have problems. RYAN: ..
RYAN: Rarely are we this excited to see a movie… oh whatever, who are we kidding – whenever it’s a musical we’re this excited! The movie version of “Mamma Mia!” has finally hit theaters and we couldn’t be happier. CAROLINE: I was actually a little hesitant about this movie since I’m hardly a huge ABBA ..
RYAN: So excited about “Mamma Mia!” I wish there was a new movie musical, at least every month. CAROLINE: I think you might die if that happened. RYAN: Well we seem to get a new one each year. And next year I’m already looking forward to “Nine,” which like “Mamma Mia!” is based on a ..
