SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: The Host is a new movie based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, and it stars one of our favorite young actresses, Saoirse Ronan. CAROLINE: I will confess to being interested in this movie only because of Saoirse. As you know, sci-fi isn’t really my thing, and I wasn’t ..
COMEDY
RYAN: I was so excited to see this movie because Kristin Chenoweth is one of my favorite stars. Her talent is unparalleled but let me say upfront there’s no singing in this one. She just works her glorious comedic chops. CAROLINE: Oh that’s nice for you. Who else in in this? RYAN: She plays Matthew ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I was primarily excited to see Spring Breakers because of James Franco who’s one of my favorite actors by default since he’s now the wizard of Oz. CAROLINE: I too was excited and intrigued, largely because of all the hype. I feel like we’ve been seeing pictures of those 4 girls in bikinis ..
COMEDY
RYAN: Admission is the new film with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd which is arguably a drama; random, considering these comedy heavyweights. That’s a little confusing with these stars. KEVIN: I liked it a lot. I thought it was a fantastic movie and they had amazing chemistry. There was a nice balance of comedy with ..
COMEDY
RYAN: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone marks the return of Jim Carrey to the big screen but he’s just a supporting character here. It’s really Steve Carell’s movie. Sadly, for the beginning half of the film, Steve was almost approaching that Ben Stiller/Adam Sandler territory where he’s not fresh anymore but he redeemed himself. Regardless, it’s ..
RYAN: This is the newest film not only based on a Nicholas Sparks novel but he’s wised up and it’s produced by Nicholas Sparks Productions as well. CHUCK: I was shocked it’s also directed by Lasse Hallstr om who did Dear John, Chocolat, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, among others… RYAN: This one stars Josh Duhamel ..
COMEDY
RYAN:Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy is the new R-rated comedy but is actually a little bit crime drama with a subplot that I really detested. ERIN: I actually thought there was going to be 70% comedy and 30% drama but it was flipped. RYAN: Oh I totally went in with expectations for ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the new zombie apocalypse rom com which is basically Twilight with zombies. KIM: It’s kind of a romantic dramedy, but it was comedic. RYAN: It’s a little cheesy and corny but not as bad as I anticipated. It certainly has a lot of heart to it. KIM: I was surprised by this. ..
HORROR
RYAN: You know I love a good horror film; good being the operative word here. CAROLINE: Oh so do I. But sadly, they’re mostly appallingly un-frightening. RYAN: True. And we’re coming off of such a drought. 2012 brought nary a good scary movie. I loved The Cabin in the Woods, but that was about it. ..
RYAN: This is the new fracking movie. CAROLINE: Doesn’t that kinda sound like a bad word? RYAN: [laughs’ Yes. And to some, it is. And that’s actually what this movie is about. CAROLINE: How was it? RYAN: Good. It’s written by Matt Damon and John Krasinski and it’s quite a strong script. Let’s not forget ..
RYAN: Old school Hollywood is making a comeback with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler in Parental Guidance. CAROLINE: Welcome back to the big screen, you two. How was it? RYAN: Nice. It was good. They’re great, you know? CAROLINE: I love Billy. He’s the star of my favorite movie When Harry Met Sally. RYAN: This ..
RYAN: In honor of your 40th birthday this past Monday, Caroline, This is 40 is out in theaters. How much did you identify with it? CAROLINE: I actually asked myself that same question as I watched this movie, and found many of the scenarios quite relatable. However, I did not start procreating at 27 as ..
