Sun, 21 June 2009 This week it's two movies about con artists. First up, The Brothers Bloom, writer-director Rian Johnson's follow-up to his first film, Brick. And then it's a look back at Stephen Frears' 1990 The Grifters with John Cusask, Anjelica Houston and Annette Bening. Also Jeff sees Drag Me To Hell and Up, which leads to a discussion about the lack of female leads in Pixar films. Plus Lisa watches True Blood, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Invasion and also revisits Poltergeist and is struck this time by its excellent portrayal of a married couple by JoBeth Willams and Craig T. Nelson. Also Jeff checks out Michael Bay's Transformers, which is so bad it's not even worth mentioning in these show notes. http://www.filmednotstirred.com/ Comments[0] |
Mon, 1 June 2009 But how can a guy from the future become the father of someone in the present? Time travel paradox, the fun of 80s cinema and Schwarzenegger's ass dominate the discussion as Jeff and Lisa check out Terminator Salvation while taking a look back at James Cameron's original 1984 science-fiction classic. Also Jeff takes in The Notebook while Lisa watches P.S. I Love You. And will Lisa ever get last season's TV cleared from her DVR? http://www.filmednotstirred.com/ Comments[0] |
