138: More Nazis? - Double Feature! "Kelly's Heroes" & "The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel"

2012-02-08T05:10:23Z

Juan and Lee like to compete....So they each decided to bring a WW2 movie. Predictably, Juan brought a black and white film and Lee brought a more modern film - but these two films ended up working really well today.

Kelly's Heroes is about a group of soldiers who are trying to steal some Nazi gold...AND IT HAS CLINT EASTWOOD IN IT!

The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel is about, well, Rommel. But it's starring James Mason. Which means: Let the Eddie Izzard Impression of James Mason impressions begin!

137: Marie's Mix-up Double Feature! "The Cook, The Thief, his Wife and Her Love" & "Delicatessen"

2012-02-01T06:23:11Z

A note from Producer Marie:

Back in college I saw a movie that was so disturbing, so visually mesmerizing, that it stuck with me. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the title...or even the plot really. Just a series of really disturbing images. So one day I came home and Juan said he had watched Delicatessen. In my head, I flashed to an image of the Delicatessan movie poster from the Netflix queue. In that moment I confused it with the disturbing movie I had seen in college and promptly asked him "Why would you do that to yourself?" (I need to point out that I don't think the movie I saw in college was bad, just deeply disturbing-which, since it stuck with me all these years, probably means it's a very good movie).

For awhile we were both confused as to what movie the other had seen. Then, somewhere else, I saw the correct title of the movie that had haunted me since college. The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover was that movie. Until recently, you couldn't even rent a DVD of it. Now it's available on some VOD services.

Because of all this, Juan and Lee decided to cover the two movies I had confused. Surprisingly, they found some common themes. Check out their review below:

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.

Movie Shout Outs - Favorite Oscar Nominated performance in a film people missed?

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:

What is your favorite Oscar Nominated performance in a film that a lot of people missed?

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:
