Chronos is a Jerk.

Fire up the afterburners, because The Final Countdown is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Celebrity Translator Neil Nadelman.

Review in a Nutshell:  A military documentary masquerading as a time travel film, The Final Countdown has some amazing visuals of modern technology in action.  Don’t expect a deep exploration of alternative histories or time paradoxes, though.

Good-bye, Legacy.

Hold onto your golden tickets, because Last Action Hero is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring shameless Last Action Hero apologist, Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Part meta-narrative.  Part satire of violent Eighties action movies.  Part heart-warming children’s film.  Last Action Hero is a film with an identity crisis.

Men WITH Hats.

Watch out for dingos, because Quigley Down Under is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  A competently composed film set in the wild west of Australia, Quigley Down Under has solid performances, some dark undertones, and the coolest rifle in cinema history.

ERRATA:  I meant Men at Work, not Men Without Hats.  All of my music-related puns fail miserably.

Brontosaurus gonna EAT YOU!!!

Load up the tranquilizer guns, because Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend is the “Greatest” Movie EVER.

Click on the poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M. and some embarrassing childhood stories.

Review in a Nutshell:   Slow, ponderous, and not particularly bright … and that’s not describing the dinosaurs!  I loved this movie as a kid; I had terrible taste.

The Quest for One-Eyed Willy

Break out the pirate maps to buried treasure, because The Goonies is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin(e) the Great.

Review in a Nutshell:  A formative film experience from the Eighties, The Goonies holds up well as an adventure movie that is fun for children of all ages, even if you can see some rough patches with the eyes of an adult.

This movie contains:

Truffle Shuffle.

Ghost Pirates.

Cold-blooded Murder.

Katherin(e)’s Favorite Person in the Whole Wide World.

High Quality Family Entertainment

Get ready to clean up the streets, because Hobo with a Shotgun is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  An anarchic Canadian film with a small budget but a huge heart, Hobo with a Shotgun has a twisted sense of humor and a great visual style.

Michael Douglas Ruins Japan

Strap on your motorcycle helmets, because Black Rain is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring special guest host Jeremy from Destroy All Podcasts-DX.

Review in a Nutshell:  Ostensibly a police thriller, Black Rain is more of an excuse for Michael Douglas and Ridley Scott to stomp through the Land of the Rising Sun with enormous, hob-nailed boots.  As a cinematic artifact from the Eighties representing American cultural anxiety, it’s hard to beat this surprisingly crazy film.

This movie contains:

Michael Douglass, Puffy Avenger.

Hand Trauma.

Impromptu Karaoke.

“You like Pi? Stop being IRRATIONAL. HAW HAW HAW!”

Put down that electric drill, because Pi is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  A harrowing tale of mathematics and madness, Pi juggles such diverse elements as cyberpunk and Jewish mysticism to make a taut psychological thriller.

INSERT INSANE LAUGHTER HERE

 

Hide your secret decoder rings, because The Shadow is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherine the Great.

Review in a Nutshell:  Similar to films such as The Phantom and The Rocketeer, The Shadow is a period adventure film featuring action, romance, and a nice sense of style.  Some of the CG special effects haven’t aged so well, but the movie is still fun for children of all ages.

This movie contains:

Alec Baldwin as Fu Manchu.

The man responsible for Mongolian Barbeque.

Psychic Knives.

Invisible Skyscrapers.  (You can’t see it.  It’s invisible.)

This movie does not contain:

David Bowie’s Codpiece.

No Charge for Awesomeness

Everybody loves kung fu fighting, and Kung Fu Panda is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Combining humor, heart, and heroism, Kung Fu Panda is a great kung fu movie with a positive message.  Don’t let the advertising fool you; there’s plenty of action, character development, and hilarity to be found here.
