Weekly Blend #314 – Full House of Grunge
We’re back from another little break with a lot of grumbling and a lot of laughter. Hear multiple reviews of The Campaign and The Bourne Legacy, tributes to Jerry Nelson and Tony Scott, updates on the lives of the Widescreen Warrior crew (including Rafe’s “brain cloud”) and an awesome look at Detention – the film so bad it makes Thomas want to toss away his ironic hipster...
Trailer Park: The Bourne Legacy [Trailer #1]
Somehow it has worked out that I have yet to see a Bourne movie. I know I want to see them and the trailers have all intrigued me. It’s just happened that I haven’t seen one and I feel like it’s a series I need to start from the beginning, so with each movie that has come out, I’ve wound up farther and farther behind with the franchise. If I don’t fix that soon, it looks like the fourth film...
Rafe’s Top Ten Movies of 2011
For the first time in all of my years of doing this, I’m not incredibly thrilled with my end of the year list. As usual, there are movies appearing on other people’s lists that I haven’t gotten to see, and unfortunate timing means I won’t be seeing them for another couple of weeks at the best. Rather than hold out on my “Best of” list for 2011 until the point that...

Weekly Blend #283 – Ridiculous Scruff
We’re back from our brief break with a new cast member in tow. This week, meet Owen, who will be filling in for Tim over the next couple of weeks and probably will become a regular. Unless, of course, you all hate him, in which case he’ll just become our version of Cousin Oliver – here one second, gone the next. Considering how rapidly he fits in to the show’s theme of making...

The Adjustment Bureau [Review]
We’ve all had that day where one little thing going wrong has unraveled the entire day. Everything is going fine. The sun is shining bright. Then bam, you have a flat tire or spill coffee down your front or lose your cell phone or car keys. The effects of such a minute event can ripple through your entire day. Now you’re running late for appointments and your mood has been altered. But what if...
Weekly Blend #260 – Winning!
Rafe expresses guilt early in this week’s show over site traffic gained because of a Charlie Sheen article, yet that doesn’t stop us from cashing in on Charlie’s meltdown for the title of this week’s episode. Within we return to our normal format after our two week Oscar-laden break. Check out reviews of Rango, The Adjustment Bureau, and Take Me Home Tonight, our first week...
Margaret’s Trailer Park: The Adjustment Bureau
After the somewhat bitter taste leftover from Green Zone and Hereafter, everyone at this point might be feeling a little more than nervous to see a new Matt Damon film just yet. This should be the case…unless you’ve seen the trailer for The Adjustment Bureau, the thriller with a romantic edge expected to hit theaters March 4th. Starring Damon in the lead with Emily Blunt, The Adjustment Bureau...
True Grit (2010) [Review]
For years the Coen Brothers have been making movies unlike most standard Hollywood fare. While their pictures have cultivated a rather large fanbase over the years, the films themselves are unlike most of the movies Tinsel Town grinds out each year. With their latest offering, a remake of 1969’s True Grit (although, to be honest, the goal was to make a movie more true to the original novel then to...
Margaret’s Trailer Park: True Grit
Ah, the John Wayne tale of True Grit as done by the Coen brothers. Following the classic story of Mattie Ross wanting to find her father’s killer with the aid of Marshal Rooster Cogburn, we finally get to see a real, and potentially good, western. I know they may seem old fashioned, but I enjoy the western genre as a whole without being a hardcore fan. With Cogburn played by none other than the versatile...
Margaret’s Trailer Park: Hereafter
Possibly the next “thinker” film headed to theaters is Hereafter, a supernatural thriller focused on the idea of what happens after we die. Starring Matt Damon as a psychic that considers his ability a curse rather than the gift it used to be, as he and two other individuals experience a near death moment or lose a loved one.
With co-star Bryce Dallas Howard and the direction of Clint Eastwood,...
