THE BOURNE LEGACY

RYAN: The Bourne trilogy was fantastic and you can’t really look at this movie without comparing it to those films. CAROLINE: That’s very understandable.  And there’s no Matt Damon in this one.  So how was it? RYAN: It’s ok but pretty jumbled and unoriginal. CAROLINE: Oh that’s sad.  I was hoping, as I’m sure one ..

CELESTE AND JESSE FOREVER

CAROLINE: I couldn’t decide if Celeste and Jesse Forever was going to be adorable or annoying.  I enjoy both its stars, Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, but I was a little concerned it might be too cutesy or indie or too… something. RYAN: But we love rom coms!  How could you even doubt this one? ..

HOPE SPRINGS

RYAN: I mean come on.  It’s Meryl Streep in her first film since winning the Oscar for The Iron Lady… and it’s a rom com.  Well, actually it’s a romantic dramedy. But I think I like that better anyway. CAROLINE: I was dying to go to this screening with you but couldn’t make it.  I ..

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS

STEP UP REVOLUTION

 RYAN: We’ve always been big fans of TV’s So You Think You Can Dance because the dancing is just so good!

RYAN: It’s consistent with it’s predecessors; ..
