Fri, 30 March 2007 From the brand-new studio (aka Lisa and Michael's new living room) this week it's two Best Foreign film Oscar winners: The Lives Of Others (2006) and Francois Truffaut's Day For Night (1973). Do Jeff and Lisa think The Lives Of Others deserved the Oscar over Guillermo del Toro's excellent Pan's Labyrinth? Also Lisa watches The Italian Job. Plus Jeff and Lisa get their fill of slasher flicks with Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon and Going To Pieces: The Rise And Fall Of The Slasher Film. Comments[0] |
Thu, 15 March 2007 Two by David Fincher. His career may have gotten off to a rocky start with Alien3, but he hasn't made a bad movie since. So this week Jeff and Lisa check out his latest film Zodiac, while also watching the Alien3 Special Edition DVD which has been restored to the director's original assembly cut. How does it hold up? Tune in and see. Also Jeff geeks out at WonderCon while Lisa ponders whether or not Boston Legal has jumped the shark. Comments[3] |
Fri, 9 March 2007 The word twenty-three has 12 characters in it, including the hyphen. 12 reversed is 21. 21 has 2 digits. 21 + 2 = 23. Wow. If you find this freaky, then you might find The Number 23 to be a riveting filmgoing experience. But as far as psychological thrillers go, Jeff and Lisa will take Rosemary's Baby any day. Also this week Jeff and Lisa discuss the Oscars, plus Trail Of The Pink Panther and Best Laid Plans. Comments[6] |
Mon, 5 March 2007 This week it's two films based on children's books. Bridge To Terabithia is adapted from the book by Katherine Paterson and there's a lot more depth to this movie than the trailers would lead you to believe. Matilda (1996), a little gem of a movie directed by Danny DeVito, is from the book by Roald Dahl. Also Jeff and Lisa (and Jeff's cat) survive the claustrophobic horror of The Descent.
