THE HOAX

CAROLINE: Yay! Finally, a good movie! RYAN: And let the record show that I practically had to drag you to it. CAROLINE: That is such b.s. I wanted to see “The Hoax,” it just wasn’t my first choice for the evening. RYAN: Well, it was a very good film with an impeccable cast. CAROLINE: There ..

THE REAPING

RYAN: Wise men say, “You reap what you sow.” And I commend you, Caroline, for going out to see this scary film, “The Reaping.” CAROLINE: A wise man should tell Hilary Swank to pick her scripts more carefully. RYAN: That is just rude. I’m a fan of scary movies and this one is not that ..

I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE

RYAN: I think I love movies more than you do. CAROLINE: I beg to differ. But I know we both liked this movie: “I Think I Love My Wife.” RYAN: It’s Chris Rock’s second venture as a director. And I have to say, as a director, he’s fair. The pacing of this movie was off ..

BLADES OF GLORY

RYAN: A mere fraction of my figure skating fantasies were realized in this weekend’s #1 box office film, “Blades of Glory.” CAROLINE: Why only a fraction, one wonders? RYAN: Because the majority of my fantasies involve me actually being on the ice. CAROLINE: Ah, indeed. I, on the other hand, do not enjoy ice skating ..

COLOR ME KUBRICK

RYAN: We just saw the film titled: “Color Me Kubrick.” CAROLINE: It’s sort of an indie little film which is only playing in select cities but if it’s playing in yours, we suggest you catch it. RYAN: It’s light, frolicking fare. CAROLINE: It takes place in London and the humor is tres Brit. And it ..

SHOOTER

RYAN: At last! A decent movie in 2007! CAROLINE: It’s such a pleasure to finally sit down in a theater and enjoy a film for a change. RYAN: And enjoy it we did, though it’s not a perfect movie. CAROLINE: It’s about fifteen minutes too long and it’s rather bloody with lots of guns. But ..

REIGN OVER ME

CAROLINE: Well Ryan, I saw “Reign Over Me” and it was seriously the longest two hours of my life. RYAN: You spend a lot of time thanking me on this blog for seeing movies that you don’t want to see, and I’d like to return the thanks right now cos I could knew this film ..

THE LIVES OF OTHERS

CAROLINE: I was inspired to see the Oscar-winning foreign language film of this year, “The Lives of Others.” You, however, did not have any interest. RYAN: I didn’t. Because I’m anti-Nazi. CAROLINE: This is indeed a German film. But it’s not a Nazi movie, it’s a Stasi movie. RYAN: Was it worthy of its Oscar? ..

PREMONITION

RYAN: I had a “Premonition” that people knew this weekend whether or not they should see this movie and the box office reflects their instincts. CAROLINE: I’m not sure that makes sense. But we saw it and it’s no “Lake House,” sadly. RYAN: Not at all. Though it does have a house near a lake. ..

300

RYAN: I’m so glad I finally saw the year’s biggest hit to date, “300.” And now I know why it’s the blockbuster that it is. CAROLINE: Why’s that? RYAN: One word: Gerard Butler! CAROLINE: Are you referring to his mad acting skills or his well-defined abs? RYAN: I’m telling you, I’ve never seen such abundant ..

THE NAMESAKE

RYAN: As the great actress, Angela Bassett, says in “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” as Tina Turner, “I have my name.” And we just saw “The Namesake.” CAROLINE: And thank God, this was a lot better than the director’s last venture, “Vanity Fair.” RYAN: Which is one of the worst films of all ..

BLACK SNAKE MOAN

CAROLINE: Ryan, do you know why I love you? RYAN: Let’s hear reason number 70,000. CAROLINE: Because you do things like go and see “Black Snake Moan” without me. RYAN: I’m here as a friend to inform you that it would not have hurt you to see this film. Actually, it’s a really fun, interesting ..
