The Rover Review

The Rover Review

RYAN: This is the the new indie Aussie movie starring Guy Paerce and Edward Cullen. CHUCK: (laughs) RYAN: Aka Robert Pattinson.  It has the same disturbing nature as No Country for Old Men and is a bit of a slow burn, taking the whole length of the movie to really understand what’s happening.  But I enjoyed ..

Words and Pictures Review

Words and Pictures Review

RYAN: I was unable to attend the press screening for Words and Pictures, so my associate, Chuck, took one for the team!  Thanks for helping out, Chuck – How was it? CHUCK: It’s pretty good.  It’s not a big movie but I was interested in seeing it since I was familiar with the director, Fred Schepisi, who ..

A Million Ways to Die in the West Review

A Million Ways to Die in the West Review

RYAN: I’ve been super excited about this movie coming out because I truly adore Seth MacFarlane.  The trailer is brilliant and I couldn’t wait to see it.  I’m a little underwhelmed by it, however, in comparison to what my expectations were and to his last film, Ted, but it’s still so much Seth’s style, sensibility and brand ..

Million Dollar Arm Review

Million Dollar Arm Review

RYAN: We just saw the new Disney baseball movie starring Jon Hamm and based on a true story. It’s really a cross between Jerry Maguire, American Idol… CHUCK: and My Fair Lady. RYAN: Yes! It’s fine.  I’m not a sports fan but really love sports movies because they’re rousing, suspenseful and exciting.  This one was ..

Alan Partridge Review

Alan Partridge Review

RYAN: I recently rented this new movie on iTunes to check it out and was pleasantly surprised.  It’s very British humor, of course and I liked it. CAROLINE: That’s cool – we do love Steve Coogan ever since Hamlet 2 which we both totally cracked up at!  How does this compare? RYAN: It’s completely different.  This ..

The Other Woman Review

The Other Woman Review

RYAN: Cam’ron D is back at it with The Other Woman. And I’ve really been looking forward to a rom com but it turns out this is more of a straightforward comedy than a rom com.  And it’s more good than bad. CAROLINE: I have also been a little bit excited to see this movie, mostly ..

Heaven is for Real Review

Heaven is for Real Review

RYAN: This movie is based on a book which is an account of actual events for a family.  There are a lot of people who have been inspired by the story and already lots of buzz for the movie adaptation. CAROLINE: Yeah I’ve seen some groups of people with high expectations – especially church groups. ..

Oculus Review

Oculus Review

RYAN: This is a new horror film and I love scary movies… when they’re scary.  I avoided all TV commercials and trailers for this one to really give myself the best shot at freaking out in this one and I was relatively into it but for the ending.  It’s about as disappointing as an ending ..

Blood Ties Review

Blood Ties Review

RYAN: This movie didn’t get a wide theatrical release but the cast is so phenom that I had to see it so I rented it on iTunes and am so glad I did.  In fact, I would have really enjoyed this on the big screen.  I wonder why it didn’t get major distribution. CAROLINE: The ..

Noah Review

Noah Review

RYAN:There’s been much ado about Noah so I’d been eagerly anticipating it and after extremely limited press screenings, added by Paramount Pictures at the last minute, it’s finally showing up in theaters!  It certainly delivers on my visual expectations set up by the trailer.  The effects are very good.  It’s a spectacle and it’s so epic! ..

Veronica Mars Review

Veronica Mars Review

RYAN: It’s finally here – and Marshmallows the world over must be rejoicing.  I know I would be doing backflips for a big screen adaptation of Ally McBeal – but it was the resourcefulness of Rob Thomas (VM creator) and his ingenious Kickstarter campaign that brought this about. CAROLINE: Yeah it was really unprecedented.  They raised, like, $6 ..

300: Rise of an Empire Review

300: Rise of an Empire Review

RYAN: This is the – what’s the word for it – part prequel, part sequel… MICHAEL: …it’s an interquel. RYAN: Oh nice! MICHAEL: It takes place before, during and after the first film, 300. RYAN: Gerard Butler starred in the first one and has just a brief appearance in this one.  He is seen but not ..
