The Movies ·

2022/04/29

THE BATMAN stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, two years into his experiment of reducing Gotham City's crime rate through his vigilante actions as the Batman. A mysterious killer (Paul Dano) murders Gotham's leaders one by one. The best leads the police have are the taunting greeting cards left at the scene, each one filled with a clue, each card marked "For the Batman." He's not yet the World's Greatest Detective, but Batman will need to solve these riddles in order to catch this madman before

2022/04/21

Jonas Bak's debut "Wood and Water" stars his mother, Anke Bak, as a newly retired woman, living in Germany's Black Forest, who travels to Hong Kong to reconnect with her son, Max, whom she's not seen in three years. Through her travels and folks met along the way, she begins to embrace a new chapter of her life and reexamine her relationship to the past, parenting and how she wishes to spend the upcoming years. It's a gorgeous, meditative work that makes me think twice about my own relationship to

"All the Old Knives" sees CIA spy Henry Pelham (Chris Pine), eight years after a deadly plane hijacking, tasked with investigating the terrorist's claim that he received information from one of the agents in Henry's division.

2022/04/07

Two brothers. A bank heist gone wrong. A getaway ambulance. Hostages? An EMT and an injured cop. 2 hours & 20 mins of a high-speed police chase helmed by Michael. FUCKING. Bay. "Ambulance" is my new favorite movie of the year. | Follow me on Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themoviespodcast/message

15. CODA (2021) dir. Siân Heder

The Movies ·

2022/04/04

CODA stars Emilia Jones as Ruby, a teenage girl who's the only hearing member of her family, a CODA (child of deaf adults). As she approaches her last year of high school, the tension between her desires to carve out the next stage of her life by attending a college for music and her responsibilities as the family interpreter reaches its most difficult heights. Good fruit for a Best Picture winner, right? | Follow me on Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod --- Send in a voice message:

14. Morbius (2022) dir. Daniel Espinosa

The Movies ·

2022/03/31

Morbius sees Jared Leto as the titular doctor-turned-vampiric-creature (and occasional Spider-Man villain) after an experiment to cure his lifelong illness goes horrifically wrong. When his secret gets into the wrong hands, Morbius must embrace his inner darkness to end up saving his world. Does this sound like 2008's THE INCREDIBLE HULK or is it just me? | Follow me on Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themoviespodcast/message

The Movies ·

2022/03/17

Tonight, while watching Best Picture nominee CODA, my wife and I gave colorful commentary throughout and I thought you all might be interested? This isn't the full movie, as Anchor only records an hour at a time (Starts with Ruby and Mr V's solo training session, about 15-20 mins in). Either way, consider this a teaser of something that may come. Hopefully, it arrives in a better developed state.

12. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) dir. David Blue...

The Movies ·

2022/03/16

Leatherface returns, with all sequels, remakes and prequels scrubbed, in TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. A group of 20-somethings arrive at a dilapidated Texas town with hopes of rejuvenating it with a community of fresh faces and business. Preparing the buildings for auction, they stumble across the last residents: an elderly woman and her son. They don't want to leave. The group needs them to. Conflict ensues; chainsaws are drawn. Blood, along with the limbs it pumps through, is spilt.| Follow me on

11. The Power of the Dog (2021) dir. Jane Campion

The Movies ·

2022/03/14

Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an asshole. He's the kind of guy who delights in picking at someone's worst insecurities, like a kid pulling a fly's wing to watch it squirm. Great rancher; he and brother George (Jesse Plemons) have built a strong company together. But God, he's a dick. So what happens when Phil comes across meek widow Rose (Kirsten Dunst) and her gentle, disinterested-in-any-machismo son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee)? Phil does what he knows best: He picks on them. And when George

The Movies ·

2022/03/12

Foo Fighters (my favorite band) made a horror movie featuring dark-ass metal music and gnarly head trauma? Sign me up. When the Foos record their new album in a creepy mansion, the murderous history of said mansion resurfaces, its spirits ready to feast on the new souls in their domain.

9. Kimi (2022) dir. Steven Soderbergh

The Movies ·

2022/03/11

KIMI is a paranoid thriller about an agoraphobic woman (Zoe Kravitz) who, working quality control for a Siri-style personal assistant program, overhears a crime on one of her feeds. Determined to help, she involves herself into a deeper, darker plot, unknowingly putting herself in danger. It's a lean, kickass flick chock-full of character - appropriate for a Steven Soderbergh joint. Dude, I fucking loved this. | Follow me on Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod --- Send in a voice message:

2022/03/04

Steven Spielberg's remake of "West Side Story" dropped on Disney + this week. I watched it to fulfill part of my series covering this year's Best Picture nominees for the Oscars. I was not a fan.

7. Another Round (2020) dir. Thomas Vinterberg

The Movies ·

2022/03/03

Thomas Vinterberg's "Another Round" sees four middle-aged high school teachers inspired by a strange theory: Humans have a blood alcohol deficiency, and should be consistently buzzed (think 1-2 glasses of wine) to achieve optimal performance. They embark on this experiment, hoping to add some color and subtract some control from their drab lives.

6. Uncharted (2022) dir. Ruben Fleischer

The Movies ·

2022/02/18

"Uncharted," adapted from the popular series of PlayStation games, sees Tom Holland as Nathan Drake, a petty thief with a penchant for the histories of adventurers and explorers. Recruited by Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Walhberg), a veteran treasure hunter, to find the multi-billion dollar Lost Treasure of Magellan, Nathan navigates a world of booby traps, rival hunters and treacherous travels to find the gold and perhaps, a little bit of greatness. | Follow Daniel Berrios on Twitter:

5. Don't Look Up (2021) dir. Adam McKay

The Movies ·

2022/02/10

Today, I review Adam McKay's satirical black comedy "Don't Look Up" as the first entry in a series covering this year's Best Picture nominees for the 94th Academy Awards. When two astronomers (Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio) discover a planet-killing comet hurtling towards Earth, they scramble to warn everyone. Some believe them. A lot don't. Some want to wait for more information and others couldn't care less. As world leaders squabble, the comet moves ever closer. | Follow me on Twitter:

4. The Problem With Scream (2022)

2022/01/20

Last night, I watched the new "Scream," a.k.a "Scream 5," "5cream" or "Scream Part V: A New Beginning," directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. As Spike Lee says, "It wasn't my cuppa tea." Why? Because this movie mocks trends that it follows blindly. | Follow me on Twitter: @TheMovies_Pod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themoviespodcast/message

1. The Tender Bar (2021) dir. George Clooney

The Movies ·

2021/12/27

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Movies (a self-explanatory podcast)! Today's episode centers on "The Tender Bar," George Clooney's adaptation of JR Moehringer's 2005 memoir. JR (whose younger and older versions are played, respectively, by Daniel Raineri and Tye Sheridan) grows up in his grandfather's (Christopher Lloyd) house with his mother (Lily Rabe) and uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck), who owns a local bar. With no father in the picture, JR grows up under Charlie's tutelage, learning how to
