136: Horrors of War - Double Feature! 'The Wave' & 'Waltz with Bashir'

2012-01-25T05:00:38Z

Okay, so these two movies don't have a LOT in common. One is a fictionalized examination of how easily a movement like Fascism can take hold and one is an animated documentary following one soldier's attempts to remember what happened during a war.

But both do show, in totally different ways, the horrors of war.

Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true.

Check out our reviews of The Wave and Waltz with Bashir.

2012-01-21T12:00:26Z

It's Movie Shout Out Time! We were so excited to see Christopher Plummer get both a Critic's Choice award AND a Golden Globe for his outstanding work in Beginners. It's also not the first time that an actor has gotten recognized for their work in a film very few people have seen. With that in mind:

135: Indie Drama Double Feature! - "Beginners" and "Terri"

2012-01-18T05:09:31Z

When we picked these two films to cover, most of the awards shows had not aired. Now just a couple of weeks later Christopher Plummer has now won a Critics Choice award and a Golden Globe for his performance in Beginners.

We want to congratulate him and concur. His performance is brilliant and Beginners is a terrific film. We paired it with another wonderful indie drama, Terri, starring the always fun-to-watch John C Reilly.

Check out our reviews of Beginners and Terri:

What's that? Neither of those circumstances has EVER happened to you? Hmm. Well, then you should check out this week's episode on "Hesher" and "Roger Dodger." Then you'll know what to do when it DOES happen.

We FINALLY listened...

These are terrific movies, you said. Why haven't you covered these two terric gems, you asked. Well, we finally heard and listened. Though neither of these movies were big smashes at the box office, they have developed a strong following. We decided to check out why and instantly figured it out. Now it's our turn to spread the love. Whether you are fans of the movies or will (hopefully) soon be, check out our reviews of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

** Spoiler Alert ** some details of the ending of Before Sunrise are discussed in our review of Before Sunset, so if you haven't seen it, pause the epside before we jump to the sequel and go watch the movie before finishing the episode.

132: British Aliens - Double Feature! 'Attack the Block' and 'Alien Autopsy'

2011-12-27T21:21:31Z

What's better than two movies about aliens? Two BRITISH movies about aliens, of course. Us being us, we couldn't go mainstream for movies about aliens, so we traveled across the pond (well, not really, but we checked out British films) for these two gems.

Attack the Block takes on the genre in what should be a ridiculously silly film, but, being British, makes it a genuinely good film.

Alien Autopsy is a mockumentary starring Ant and Dec supposedlyAlien Autopsy "footage" that made the rounds in the 90's.
