The Monuments Men

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” is worth exactly what you pay for it. And possibly slightly less. Such is the verdict of The Next Reel Film Board this month as we take on the Kenneth Branagh-helmed thriller.

The World’s End

Hellllllloooooooooo! Welcome to episode #100 of The Next Reel, everybody! And what a better way to celebrate than to finish the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy series that we started in March 2012 with our episode on Edgar Wright’s latest film, “The World’s End.” Another genre film filled with poignant character moments, riotous moments of comedy, fantastic writing from beginning to end, and solid and assured direction, Wright finishes off this pseudo trilogy (that he started with “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz”) with a film that actually does help tie all three films together thematically while still remaining its own complete film. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we delve into the frothy tale of five guys revisiting (or to some extent reliving) their past as they try to finish a 12-pub crawl they never completed before only to have it rudely interrupted by alien invaders.

Or is it dumb dumb stupid dumb and the sign of the fall of civilization?

The Wolverine

The Film Board gathers! It’s a full house this week as we take on the latest clawed brawler from Marvel, “The Wolverine.” The crew agrees: there are some stunningly beautiful sequences in this film, and while Jackman’s Wolverine rarely disappoints, on the whole the film loses steam tragically too early and delivers an ultimately forgettable experience.

World War Z

The curse is broken! The Film Board gathers and we finally have a movie that all of us like! It’s Brad Pitt against the world’s nasty plague problem on the show this week and Steve, Andy, and Pete talk about why you should see this film, why you should like this film, and why it’s culturally far more relevant than a run of the mill zombie thriller.
