Weekly Blend #306 – Chemistry with Air
I bet you thought we wouldn’t have a review of Snow White and the Huntsman this week, didn’t you? Well, so did we, but it turns out Kelly saw the flick and is more than happy to talk about it (with a slightly different take than Doc Rotten’s review). We also continue our Highlander conversation from last week before moving on to discussions of the Les Miserables trailer, the latest...
Weekly Blend #305 – Back in Black
We’re back, and so are the Men in Black, Agents J and K. We talk about the evolution of the franchise and offer up a review of the latest chapter this week. We also turn our eye toward several developing news stories: the movement of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and what that could mean for other movies, the release of the trailer for Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby, Ryan Reynolds as the rumored...
Weekly Blend #296 – The Force Child Comes from Golden Showers
It’s a review-heavy show this week as we offer up our opinions on three of this weekend’s new releases; we didn’t see Journey 2 but do discuss Safe House, The Vow, and enjoy a rather lengthy deconstruction of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. We briefly turn our attention to the music world with the death of Whitney Houston and Madonna’s Super Bowl performance...

Safe House [Review]
Listen up Hollywood directors: we’re tired of the “realistic” approach to action. Cut the crap, get rid of the shakey-cam, knock off the frenetic editing, and pull the damn camera back far enough that we can see what’s going on. You know that person on your staff who choreographs the combat and actions sequences? We want to see their work; you are paying them, after all, so why mar their work...
In Theaters: Journey 2, Safe House, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, The Vow [Feb 10th]
We have a slew of new movies coming out this week, so let’s not waste any time with long introductions.
The release I’m most interested in is the 3D presentation of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It’s a re-release in 3D, which has been hit or miss for other studios. Disney found great success with 3D for The Lion King, but less for Beauty and the Beast. This is...
Green Lantern 3D [Review]
“In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship Evil’s might, Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!“ – The oath of the Green Lantern
Ryan Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan in DC Comics and Warner Brothers summer blockbuster adaptation of Green Lantern. As a Sci-Fi adventure film, Green Lantern struggles too hard to find the right balance between...
Green Lantern [Review]
After Marvel has firmly placed a thunder god and the origins of its key team of mutants in theaters this summer, it’s DC Comics’ turn for a comic book movie. With Superman and Batman tied up in other developments (and Wonder Woman just recently freed from her television deal), the company had to rely on a less familiar member of its pantheon of characters, the Green Lantern. As someone told me...
Margaret’s Trailer Park: Green Lantern
If we weren’t all getting tired of “superhero/comic” genre movies just yet, then the trailer for the new Green Lantern movie may push us over the edge. I’ll be honest, I know very little about the Green Lantern and after watching the trailer I think I know even less. The trailer follows Ryan Reynolds’ character, Hal Jordan, the playboy pilot who is selected by an alien guy to have a green...
Margaret’s Trailer Park: Buried
The concept of being buried alive goes back centuries in literature and only slightly as far when it comes to portions of plot in film, so the idea of making an entire film based on being buried alive isn’t too far of a stretch. With the new film Buried a character played by Ryan Reynolds is just that; trapped in a coffin and buried alive.
The difference with Buried is that the main character was...
The Proposal [DVD]
For good, old fashioned comedy with a new twist, Sandra Bullock takes on Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal, a film about the witch of the office suddenly needing help from the person she stomps on the most. Sandra Bullock plays Margaret, a head strong, smart, non-emotional editor/publisher who knows what she wants and when she wants it. Ryan Reynolds plays Margaret’s assistant, Andrew, a man so willing...
