Gravity
We’re on a trip to space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in this month’s Film Board review of Cuaron & Son’s astro-tacular, Gravity.
Prisoners
The next time your young daughter asks you if she can take Joy to your house on the other side of the neighborhood, the correct answer is a resounding “no.”
You’re Next
Spoiler alert — the crew is as divided on “You’re Next” as we have ever been on this show. Director Adam Wingard’s home invasion horror romp has been hailed as “clever,” “deliciously twisted,” and that it “streamlines the gory stuff for something truly shocking: good characters.” So, is it really the refreshing attempt to turn the genre on it’s ear? 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.
Now You See Me
It’s a Very Special Episode for this month’s Film Board gathering. Today on the show, Steve Sarmento and Chadd Stoops join Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to take on the great Next Reel Crossover with *Now You See Me* — a magical heist film of skeptic proportions.
42
The Film Board gathers to take on this weekend’s new release, “42”. This Jackie Robinson biopic comes with some misgivings, not the least of which comes in writer-director Brian Helgeland’s script.
Oz the Great and Powerful
The Film Board gathers to take on Disney’s latest trip to the Emerald Kingdom. This week on the show, Steve Sarmento and Tom Metz join Andy and Pete to pull apart Oz The Great and Powerful, and pull it apart they do.
Side Effects
The band is back together! And this month, the illustrious TNR Film Board gathers ranks to take on Steven Soderbergh’s “final” film, “Side Effects”.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
The Hobbit had landed in HFR 3D glory! Join us for this special episode of the Film Board as we take on Peter Jackson’s latest contribution to Middle Earth.
