21

RYAN: The new movie “21” is aptly titled because it’s all about blackjack. CAROLINE: It stars Jim Sturgess, who just had a little part in “The Other Boleyn Girl” and was so awesome in “Across the Universe.” RYAN: It co-stars the dual eye-colored Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Spacey in a welcome-back-to-acting performance. CAROLINE: ..

STOP-LOSS

RYAN: The new Iraq war movie “Stop-Loss” is the latest from director Kimberly Peirce who also brought us “Boys Don’t Cry.” And apparently she has a thing for guys named Brandon because that’s the name of both of these films’ lead characters. CAROLINE: This movie reminds me that apparently we’ve learned nothing from last year’s ..

Celebrity Interview: Kimberly Peirce

RYAN: Last week we got to attend the very cool, swanky Cinema Society red carpet screening of “Stop-Loss,” where we interviewed director Kimberly Peirce who’s famous for making Hilary Swank a star. CAROLINE: This movie is very close to Kim’s heart since her brother enlisted in the army right after 9/11. It’s all about the ..

New on DVD

RYAN: It’s a pretty slow week for DVD releases, especially compared to last week’s greatness. That Stephen King movie, “The Mist,” is out today. CAROLINE: I so couldn’t be bothered to see that. RYAN: I had a moment of thinking I might, but then I bailed. It’s got Marcia Gay Harden and Thomas Jane, husband ..

Movie News!

CAROLINE: I was just reading online that one of my favorite directors, David O. Russell, is casting a new movie and it sounds fabulous!! Each cast member is better than the next. RYAN: Is this one of those things that I’m not going to care about nearly as much as you? CAROLINE: Well, I know ..

DRILLBIT TAYLOR

CAROLINE: Even though I had fully anticipated hating “Drillbit Taylor,” I have to admit that it wasn’t bad. RYAN: It has the full-on stamp of Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen, which is good news because we appreciate their brand of funny. CAROLINE: It’s a little bit of a shameless rip-off of “Superbad,” right down to ..

New Trailer!

CAROLINE: OMG the new “Incredible Hulk” trailer is out and it looks so good! RYAN: It’s amazing to me that there’s yet another Hulk movie coming out. CAROLINE: I hear you, but I love Edward Norton so I am fully prepared to accept and love this new version. Also, I must confess that I never ..

Movie News!

RYAN: So the 2008 MTV Movie Awards will air this year on June 1st. CAROLINE: I actually sort of don’t care. RYAN: I know. Me neither. But let’s look at why. CAROLINE: Maybe it’s because the winners know who they are ahead of time? RYAN: Or because it’s produced like the VMAs – sloppy and ..

New on DVD

CAROLINE: It’s a practically holy day in DVD releases! RYAN: How’s that? CAROLINE: My favorite movie of 2007, “Atonement,” is out on DVD today. And if you missed it in the theater, I’m sorry for you. But if you love sweeping, gorgeous British war/romance movies, then rent it now. RYAN: Well, it’s not exactly a ..

FUNNY GAMES

RYAN: The new movie “Funny Games” stars and is executive produced by Aussie Naomi Watts, and it’s one of the most terrifying films I’ve ever seen. In my book, it’s up there with “No Country for Old Men” and “Misery.” CAROLINE: After seeing the trailer, I thought it was going to be so scary I ..

HORTON HEARS A WHO

RYAN: I am so thrilled and honored that you graced me with your presence at an animated film! It’s so rare. CAROLINE: It’s not that rare. I accompanied you to several of them last year. I just didn’t go kicking and screaming this time. RYAN: Well, I don’t expect you to come to them anymore, ..
