Hi, Bryan Here…

Here is another episode of our famous RE-CASTING sessions. If you’re new to this podcast, here is where we pick an older film and re-cast the roles with new actors that we see fit. Since we’ve casted several comedies and one horror film so far, we though it would be fun to cast a drama-thriller, and what better film to re-cast than ‘Reservoir Dogs‘ by Quentin Tarantino. I know the cast already is perfect and we would never want this movie remade, but with Hollywood remaking everything today, here is our take on it. And to change it up on you, we completely re-cast all the roles with women. Enjoy this great episode. And Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi, Bryan Here….

So yes. A couple of years ago they did in fact reboot ‘Friday the 13th‘. You’re not crazy. But we live in a day in age now where Hollywood is remaking remakes. It’s sad and pathetic. That being said, I will take any ‘Friday the 13th‘ movie that is new in the theater. What can I say, I’m a sucker for Jason Vorhees hacking up dumb teens, even in space.

Hi, Bryan Here…

It’s quite strange for Hollywood to be releasing this type of film for families on Thanksgiving. ‘Homefront‘ is a violent and bloody action thriller starring Jason Statham and James Franco, with a small appearance by Winona Ryder. The cheesy script is based on a novel by Chuck Logan and was written by Sylvester Stallone, who seems to not have grown out of the 80s action films he starred in. While Stallone is nowhere to be seen in this movie, he does serve as producer and writer, as his handprints are all over this.

Have movie makers gone SO dry of original ideas that they continue to re-make perfectly good movies that aren’t even that old, yet? I take these re-makes personally since most of them are from the 80’s, which means I grew up on the films they destroy with a re-birth. Was Patrick Swayze really one of those actors that was so horrible, none of his work is safe from a re-make? Let us keep in mind that Swayze is now a verb, not just a noun. It takes an epic actor to make that kind of difference.  Not only did they have to annihilate the Red Dawn I grew up with, there are still projects  in the works that will destroy Dirty Dancing, Point Break and Ghost! I can  add to that list of Swayze comfort movies that seem destined for destruction, Road House. It’s the sad truth.

HBO, along with Diablo Cody and Oprah Winfrey, under the Harpo Films title are coming together to explore an untitled comedy based on Dr. Julie Holland’s upcoming book, Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You’re Taking, the Sex You’re Not Having, The Sleep You’re Missing and What’s Really making You Crazy. That is a freaking mouthful for the title of one book. The book will delve into the pros and cons of taking medications and brings the side effects, normally in small print, up to the well-lit surface. Read the rest of this entry »

In some unfortunate news, the execs over at Millennium Films, think it would be a good idea to remake a classic zombie film. In particular, George Romero’s ‘Day of the Dead‘ with Mark Tonderai set to direct. This will be a modern day telling of the 1985 film and is the second time they’ve remade this. Just leave it alone.

The 1979 hit that made Mel Gibson a superstar is being re-launched….as is everything that was once great, good or even mediocre. George Miller is back to direct the franchise that made his name 35 years ago with Mad Max: Fury Road. Mel Gibson will be back, as well, but not in the lead role. That torch has been passed on to Tom Hardy (Warrior, Lawless, The Dark Knight Rises). Joining Hardy are co-stars Charlize Theron (Monster, Aeon Flux and Snow White and the Huntsman)and Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodiess, Jack the Giant Slayer and X-Men: First Class).This makes the first Mad Max movie since 1985’s Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Everyone can understand that the second movie in any series can be the problematic middle child of a franchise. They tend to suffer between the spellbinding beginning and the satisfying conclusion. However, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire rises above the usual awkward bridge label with excellent performances and a script that remains faithful to the book to make it a movie that could almost stand on its own.

Bill Murray doesn’t do a whole lot of television anymore, but he has made an exception for HBO’s new miniseries ‘Olive Kitteridge‘, which is based on the award winning novel by Elizabeth Strout. The project will be directed by Lisa Cholodenko (‘The Kids Are All Right‘) and tells the story of a quaint town in New England where crime and steamy affairs happen between everyone. All is chronicled through the eyes of Olive, who will be played by Frances McDormand.

I don’t want to believe any of this, because I’ve been hurt and burned so many times with this project, that I don’t think my mind, body, soul, and testicles can take it anymore. There have been countless attempts to adapt the comic book series ‘Preacher‘ by Garth Ennis for years now. We’ve even written about it on this site many times. Now, it seems that there is finally some steam and a new company wanting to develop this amazing and sadistic story. And that company is AMC.

Forte is an excellent actor and a great person. Enjoy the fun interview and go see ‘Nebraska‘.

Hi, Bryan Here….

Director Alexander Payne sure has a knack for giving us quirky characters and showing us their relationships with their friends and families. With Oscar winning films like ‘Sideways‘ and ‘The Descendants‘, Payne is still in tune with his generational comedy routine, warts and all. This time around, ‘Nebraska‘ is on a more somber note than his previous work, but still manages to fill the theater with laughs as we witness a black and white screen of a family road trip film of sorts, that showcases a family’s appalling attitude when one seems to have hit the jackpot. With an impressive cast led by Will Forte and Bruce Dern, I expect decent returns at the box office, riding on the coattails of Payne’s previous work, however this stands on its own and should garner some awards come Oscar season.

I think everyone in Hollywood wants to make a Peter Pan film. There are currently at least three Pan films in development at the moment to add to the treasure trove of plays, movies, tv series, and games that center around the boy who could fly, fight , and crow.

Hi, Bryan Here….

For some reason, 20th Century Fox wants to compare ‘The Book Thief‘ with the Oscar winning film ‘Life of Pi‘, because in the trailers for ‘The Book Thief‘, it says “From the studio that brought you ‘Life of Pi’. Sure, you can argue that both films come from novels, deal with survival of the most dire consequences, and have a ton of symbolism with life, death, love and God, but I don’t understand why you would want to compare the two, other than drive audiences to see the film, with the hopes that it will garner a decent amount of awards and a giant amount of cash like ‘Life of Pi’ did. Unfortunately, I don’t think ‘The Book Thief’ will accomplish these goals. It won’t succeed in these goals, not because of the filming, acting, or story. Those aspects are very good. It’s the execution, pacing, and the too many “on the nose” cheesy sentimental moments that ultimately make this film fall in the deep dark cracks of the cinema basement. That, and the lack of big CG effects, a beautiful colorful world, and a big tiger. Based on Markus Zusak’s novel of the same name, director Brian Percival (whose only claim to fame is a couple of episodes of ‘Downton Abbey), relies mostly on his cast to keep this film trucking along. This is not a happy movie by any means, and actually starts out quite grim as we meet Liesel (Sophie Nelisse), a young girl with her mother and younger brother, who board a train, but who do not know that their mother is giving them up for adoption. And on the way to their new family, the younger brother dies, as the narrator informs us over the grim images. In fact, the narrator is death himself.

Over the past couple of years, we have had a string of films based on the Beat Poet generation that spawned writers and poets Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac. Some have been documentaries, some have been narratives on their successful careers, but none have covered the in depth time period where all of these writers met in college and were part of a murder. First time feature filmmaker John Krokidas knocks it out of the park with his jazzy, drug induced opus that is called ‘Kill Your Darlings‘.

Jean-Marc Vallee’s ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ is a fresh take on the recognized AIDS plot, complete with a knockout script, and some amazing performances by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. This true-life narrative feature about Ron Woodroof, a Dallas native straight man who is diagnosed with HIV in the 80s is is not as down-trodden as it might seem at first glance. I’m sure McConaughey’s name and creepy weight-loss, which was widely reported in the news will draw out a decent crowd, but this little Indie film won’t be able to compete with the likes of superheroes, but it damn sure deserves it.

I get really sad when excellent film makers make really substandard movies, or in the case of Robert Rodriguez, entirely unoriginal tv shows. The show I’m lamenting is a TV version of From Dusk Till Dawn. It COULD be a good idea. When you have something as epic as the movie already in your stable, why turn that into a series? If you’re Robert Rodriguez, you’re hoping your fan base will follow the series to your new El Rey Network which is set to go live this December.

The trailer definitely didn’t give too much away, if you want to know what it’s about, you’re going to have to read about it. The movie picks up 2 hours after the first one ends. Expectations are definitely high for this film as the first one garnered a lot of praise. Writer-director Gareth Evans gives us another corrupt crime syndicate storyline. This one should definitely draw off the popularity and fans of the first movie. I’m really curious how they are going to continue this one 2 hours after the first movie ended.

And we’re back with the first non-Iron-Man sequel in the Marvel universe with ‘Thor: The Dark World‘, with the entire cast back ready for more saving the universe and defeating evil. However, this time around, the sequel felt uneasy and a little bit off, as it dragged in the mid-section quite a bit, or when Tom Hiddleston’s Loki (Thor’s adopted brother) is not on screen. Sure, the main event is Thor himself (Chris Hemsworth), but he seems to take a back seat for most of the film, as the co-stars really drive this movie as Thor smashes his hammer from foe to foe.

With a name like Alpha House, you’d guess to be right on the money, right? WRONG! This is a story about four senators faced with crazy rent prices in Washington D.C., and decide to split the cost.

WWE Studios and Film Roman have teamed together to produce and finance and new web series called, ‘Camp WWE‘, which is a comedy series for adults that will center around what WWE wrestlers were like when they were kids. This sounds like all sorts of fun.

Hi, Bryan Here….

Director, Lucky McKee is at it again. This time, with a film called ‘All Cheerleaders Die‘, which is on the festival circuit right now, but hopefully gets a wide release sometime next year. And the trailer is all sorts of fun and is finally a cheerleading movie I can get behind. McKee (‘May‘ and ‘The Woman‘) teamed with director Chris Siverston (‘The Lost‘) for this film, which is a remake of their first short film of the same name.

Hi, Bryan Here….

It looks like DreamWorks Animation wants more ‘Rocky & Bullwinkle‘ material, because they just announced that they will be releasing an all-new short film featuring the classic characters in animation form sometime in 2014. I’m willing to be it will be in March, since DreamWorks also announced that their new animated feature ‘Mr. Peabody and Sherman‘ will be released  then as well.

Hi, Bryan Here….

Here we are with our 13th Podcast. We are so excited to have been doing this for thirteen weeks now. As usual, we always start off with a ‘Top 3’. And this week was hilarious. We did our ‘Top 3’ Action Movie One Liners, and man, did they bring back some memories. It’s difficult to not name every Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis line ever uttered, but we managed to get some others in there. Please give this a listen, and you might be laughing so hard, you’ll cry. Enjoy the show….

Hi, Bryan Here….

As we all know, J.J. Abrams has directed the last two ‘Star Trek‘ films, but earlier this year, we reported that he was asked to direct the upcoming ‘Star Wars‘ sequels, which he happily accepted. That being said, he has no time to do another ‘Star Trek‘ film in the near future, as he will be busy making the ‘Star Wars’ films. And as of the last 48 hours, Disney has told Abrams that ‘Star Wars’ MUST be released in 2015, which is putting this ‘Star Wars‘ project in rush mode, due to Abrams taking over script duties.

Black Mariah, Here….

The new movie, Diana, releases in theaters today.  The feature length film, starring Naomi Watts as the Princess of Wales, focuses on Diana’s romantic life after separating from Prince Charles. No matter how much you already know about Diana’s post royal love life, the movie Diana will take you on a journey oddly devoid of steamy love scenes and any convincing chemistry between the characters. Steamy love scenes are to be expected in a film based on a love affair, yes?  The story was already there; Diana and Hasnat, a real life Romeo and Juliet, complete with meddling families, two lovers who just can’t seem to seal the deal, and tragic death!  Somehow this movie managed to miss the mark, unless that mark was to make a dry romantic comedy.

Donna W., Here….

A man awakens on his yacht to find that it has crashed against a wayward storage tank and is now taking on water via the gaping hole in the side of his boat. The man, whose name we never know, is concerned but calm. He goes about the business of repairing the hole, pumping out the water, and assessing what’s left of his equipment, provisions and supplies. He has no radio and no means of navigation. He is far, far from any shore. Problems begin to mount. A storm. An injury. Things go from bad to worse.

Hi, Bryan Here….

Upon watching the trailers for ‘Last Vegas‘, a comedy starring several older actors, all over the age of sixty in a movie, very similar to ‘The Hangover‘, made me have my serious doubts on how good this could actually be. On one hand, I saw this film playing out for a crowd over 50 with cute humor that my mother and grandmother can laugh at, but not much else. And on the other hand, this could have just failed on every level, with poor dialogue, bad characters, and no real story plot, but rather just a muse to get some amazing veteran actors together to make a quick buck. Well, I couldn’t be more wrong. This comedy starring Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Mary Steenburgen is smart, witty, heartfelt, and hilariously funny. So much so, that I expect great returns at the box office to see these five actors cut a rug and have a ball for two hours on screen.

Hi, Bryan Here….

Gavin Hood’s adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s ‘Ender’s Game‘ is everything I wanted it to be and more. I’ll admit, judging by the trailers to this film, I didn’t quite see how this would work, and I even thought it didn’t look the least bit good. But ten minutes into the film, I knew i was dead wrong. And not only wrong, but this might be one of my favorite films of the year, and might be one of the best sci-fi films ever made. I know, that’s a strong statement to make, but I stand by it. This visually stunning film, along with its great performances and story have created one hell of a fine film, that I sure hope will make enough money to warrant a sequel. Because after watching this two hour sci-fi opus, I wanted more…immediately.

Jana B., Here….

Before, I get into the future project of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, a.k.a. Kick Ass, let me just take a moment to express how absolutely gorgeous this guy looks without the frizzy hair of his first appearance as the normal dude turned vigilante. I kind of slid my eyes past him because I could not see the hottie he had hidden. I just checked out a picture of him and was freaking gobsmacked at the boy looking back at me that will be filling my night time thoughts. Yummy. Now that I’ve stated the obvious but important point of his looks I can get on with his new project.
