Movie Review: OPPENHEIMER Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr.
Christopher Nolan is without a doubt one of the finest directors of the last 25 years of cinema. The Dark Knight Trilogy, Dunkirk, Memento, and Inception are just a few of his noted and award-winning films. And I cannot forget one of my personal favorites, The Prestige. Nolan is a master of his craft and […]
Movie Review: THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW Starring Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman
If it feels like Joe Wright’s new psychological thriller that just hit Netflix is a sort of spiritual successor to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, that’s because it certainly is trying to be. To their credit, the filmmakers even have Hitch’s beloved film playing on a television during the opening scene of the film. Why tip-toe […]
Movie Review: ‘Hunter Killer’ Starring Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman, Common
Russia, United States, submarines, Sean Connery…whoops, wrong movie. It’s hard not to draw at least some parallels between Hunter Killer and The Hunt for Red October, which, alongside Das Boot, is the submarine movie to which all others are compared. On the surface (no pun intended), there are at least a few superficial connections between […]
50: ‘Dawn of the Planet of Apes’ Starring Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman
This week on the show we focus on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes but we’re a wounded beast. No Dan, No Blake, No Kevin…No problem. You get Tom and Joe but, more importantly, Rich Handley steps into save the day. Who’s Rich Handley you ask? He is our resident Ape expert. Not like […]
Movie Review: ‘Dawn of The Planet of The Apes’ Starring Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman
As far as reboots of well established franchises go, Rise of the Planet of the Apes certainly ranked among the ones that was (or is, if you still haven’t seen it) very well worth your time. I certainly wish more sequels would turn out like this one. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes leads off […]
33: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson
It was Valentine’s Day Weekend and love was in the air. So, of course, this week on the show we tackle Robocop. Well, ok, nobody “tackles” Robocop. Although…ED-209? No, they don’t really “tackle” things. They just shoot them. So, um, anyway…this week’s podcast is about Robocop. Did it recapture the dark-comedy heights of the original? […]
‘RoboCop’ Remake Trailer – Everything You Need to Know About the 2014 Version
For some time now, there has been word of a RoboCop remake. In 2009 we reported that Darren Aronofsky was attached to direct (which would have been awesome), which later turned into José Padilha (Elite Squad). In March of 2012 we found out that Joel Kinneman would play Alex Murphy / RoboCop. And finally, as […]
Movie Review: ‘Lawless’ Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce
Based on a true story, Lawless recounts the tale of the Bondurant Brothers – and their infamy when it comes to bootlegging and invincibility. In 1930s Franklin County, VA during prohibition, the three Bondurant brothers were at the top of the moonshine game. But when big-time gangsters leave Chicago for their little town, the law […]
