The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Fire some arrows from horseback, because Nomad: The Warrior is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: A fictionalized account of the life of young Ablai Khan, Nomad is probably the only film you’re likely to see that is both produced by and about the nation of Kazakhstan.
This film contains:
Jason Scott Lee, Wandering Wiseman.
Pointy Hats.
EVEN POINTIER HATS.
COMING SOON!
Even more Mark Dacascos goodness in the month of November.
Today we celebrate 150 episodes with the Greatest Movie EVER,
better known as Fight Club.
Review in a Nutshell: Mix a healthy portion of post-modern anxiety with a dash of gallows humor and a heaping helping of unapologetic violence, and you have Fight Club, a movie that is more intelligent than the trailers would lead you to believe.
This film contains:
Desperation.
Subliminal Advertising.
Battle Damage.
Watch out for crows with stalker tendencies,
because The Secret of NIMH is the Greatest Movie EVER.
Review in a Nutshell: A technically masterful work of animation by Don Bluth and company, the Secret of NIMH is hampered only by the inclusion of certain inexplicable mystical elements. As a bonus, it’s also guaranteed to traumatize the kiddies with frightening images of danger and death.
No screencaps this time. I watched the movie through Netflix’s ‘Watch Instantly’ streaming video service.
Watch for the Werewolf Break, because The Beast Must Die is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: The Beast Must Die is a quirky hybrid of murder mystery and werewolf movie with a stellar cast that was filmed at the beautiful Shepperton Studios in England. The film’s salient features are the Werewolf Break and the fact that the werewolf was played by a large, fluffy dog.
This movie contains:
Ground Mics!
Obnoxious House Guests.
Dog on the roof. DOG ON THE ROOF!
Exploding Helicopters.
Don’t drink the amber rum, because The Devil’s Backbone is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: The Devil’s Backbone is a Gothic tale of injustice and inevitability set during the Spanish Civil War. Think of it as a primer for Pan’s Labyrinth, with less magic, more realism, and no Doug Jones.
This movie contains:
Inappropriate Relationships.
Friendly Ghosts.
Burn Victims.
Savage Children.
COMING SOON!
Mom and I take a crack at The Beast Must Die. Watch for the Werewolf Break!
It’s time to pick on babies and monkeys, because
The Andromeda Strain is the Greatest Movie EVER!
This movie contains:
One Unfortunate Monkey.
SCIENCE!
Pyramid Head?
Your Tax Dollars at Work.
Strap on your fur bikini, because One Million Years BC
is the Greatest Movie EVER!
This movie contains:
GIANT IGUANA.
Child-Eating Allosaurus.
THE SAVAGE SEA TURTLE!
Oh, yeah. Raquel Welch is in there, too.
The Vengeful Ghost of the Big Month of Mark rears its ugly head, and
The Base is the Greatest Movie EVER!
No show notes. No DVD. Sorry. 😦
Don’t mess with Kenshiro, because
Fist of the North Star is the Greatest Movie EVER!
This movie contains:
Gary Daniels and his Singular Facial Expression.
The late Chris Penn in one of his Greatest Performances.
Future Thugs. Notice that Clint Howard WEARS NO MAKE-UP.
THE GLOW.
HOLY ZOMBIE MALCOM MCDOWELL!
This movie largely lacks:
Exploding Heads.
Strap on your Rollerblades, because
Hackers is the Greatest Movie EVER!
No show notes. I seem to have misplaced the DVD.
