Instead of seeing that movie with the dragon, Jeff is dragged to see The Holiday. How does The Holiday stack up next to one of the finest romantic comedies ever made? Tune in and see. Also Jeff takes in the Richard Lester Superman films. Plus Lisa is genuinely creeped out by the Japanese weirdness that is called Audition. Comments[0]

Jeff and Lisa discuss the films of Edward Zwick yet somehow never manage to bring up Courage Under Fire -- what in the name of everything holy is going on here? Zwick's latest film Blood Diamond brings to light the terrible conflict diamond trade in Africa, while Glory (1989) tells the true story of the first black regiment in the U.S. Civil War. Also Jeff checks out Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Comments[0]

This week Jeff and Lisa talk about the work of Christopher Guest, from his directorial debut The Big Picture (1989) to his latest film For Your Consideration (2006). Also Lisa thinks they cut too much of Miranda Otto out of The Two Towers theatrical version while Jeff salivates over his new (yet still unopened) 14-DVD set Of Superman. Comments[1]

You know the name. You know the number. James Bond is back in action! Nobody does it better. He's Bond. He's Back. He's 007. Far up! Far out! Far more! It's Bond. And Beyond. Comments[1]

Remember Sammy Jankis. All this, plus what's the deal with all of the red-shirts on Lost this season? The last scene is shown first and the first scene is shown last. In fact, the story of Memento is told completely backwards. Both films deal with themes of obsessive revenge while playing in interesting ways with the narrative timeline of events. This week, Jeff and Lisa take a look at his latest film The Prestige. Christopher Nolan's Memento was one of the most impressive feature film debuts ever. Comments[0]

No, you're not seeing double. This time Jeff and Lisa take a look at two movies about the life of Marie Antoinette, one from 2006 and the other from 1938. Letting everyone down would be their greatest unhappiness. Comments[0]

In their very first show, Jeff and Lisa take a look at Gridiron Gang (2006) and compare it to Hoosiers (1986), two inspirational sports movies inspired by real events. Also thrown in are gratuitous references to Rush, U2 and shark steak sandwiches. I'll make it. Comments[0]
