COMEDY
RYAN: This is a new dramedy with a killer ensemble cast and they’re all so good in it, with great moments. Some of them you want more of because they have smaller parts. It’s primarily Jason Bateman’s movie and he’s as good as he ever is. He shows some grey range. Tina Fey is great ..
DRAMA
RYAN: It’s James Gandolfini’s final film and it’s so bittersweet seeing him. He’s so good but it’s such a loss. In Enough Said last year, I didn’t think about that while watching the film but I couldn’t help thinking about it a bit during this one. CAROLINE: It is so sad. He was really great. How ..
DRAMA
RYAN: Soon as this movie started it reminded me of the first one in that it has the same sort of feeling to it. There’s something very special about this dolphin, Winter, and her story. It’s a true story and it has had such an inspiring affect on people, especially those who have lost limbs. ..
ROMANTIC COMEDY
RYAN: I had heard about this film recently and was intrigued by the sound of it because it seemed like the plot details are heavily guarded. Like, after the set up, it’s as though you can’t really hear anything else about it so I had to check it out. Plus it’s filed under the rom ..
ACTION
RYAN: The November Man is randomly coming out in August. It’s a very weird few weeks we have for movies here so maybe it’s not that random. It is explained in the film why the main character is known as The November Man, but it’s not the best title. CAROLINE: What is this movie – ..
ACTION
RYAN: This is the sequel to 2005’s Sin City and it’s really more of the same. I can’t say whether it’s much improved, visually, since I don’t really member many details from it, aside from the unique visuals. And that style is the same. This one is offered in 3D and it’s black and white with ..
DRAMA
RYAN: This is the new sic fi drama based on a novel often read in middle school these days and it has been the passion project of star Jeff Bridges, who has worked 18 years to adapt it to the screen. CAROLINE: Has his passion paid off? RYAN: It has. This is a cool movie. ..
DRAMA
RYAN: I’m glad to have Erik Groben join me for this review since you’ve seen The Guard, a previous film by this writer/director, John Michael McDonagh, and also starring Brendan Gleeson. Calvary is a really great drama the unfolds like a mystery. The tone and story is very Hitchcockian. I always enjoy Brendan and am super ..
ROMANTIC COMEDY
RYAN: As a big Daniel Radcliffe fan, I’m glad he’s steadily working and I’m always looking forward to his next movie. This one is of the rom com variety and it’s very cute. He’s perfectly cast opposite Zoe Kazan who is so adorable, you just wanna carry her around with you. CAROLINE: (laughs) Ok. They ..
DRAMA
RYAN: This is such a special movie. It’s absolutely feel good and is packed with Disney magic, without at all being any kind of fairy tale or involving any princesses. It’s a PG rated drama that is so well written, cast, and shot – I just loved it. CAROLINE: That’s great. Everyone loves Helen Mirren ..
ACTION
RYAN: I’m thrilled to welcome Michael Zummo to join me in this review. Not only a friend, but a very talented author of the science fiction series D’Mok Revival. Because of that, I’m looking forward to your perspective on this movie. I wasn’t familiar with the Guardians comics or these characters. This is more obscure so I ..
BIOPIC
RYAN: I’ve been dying to see this move since I knew it was happening because I’ll always take a musical, or a movie with music, or how ever you wanna slice it, I’ll like it – but also because my cousin Leah worked on the production and also appear is in the film as an ..
