I Finally Watched...
So many movies, so little time! Two cinephile friends, David and Alain, watch movies that at least one of them has never seen before and discuss whether it was worth the wait, if the movie holds up, and would they watch it again.

Our annual Christmas-But-Not-A-Christmas-Movie presents the best Christmas movie, Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Fun for the whole family, this movie brings the true meaning of holiday spirit, sex cults, prostitutes and more! On a more serious note however, this movie is a Kubrick classic and it's weird as hell! Starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Mother (2009), a film by Bong Joon-ho, has so many twists and turns it'll make your head spin! It's from the director of the Academy Award for Best Picture, Parasite, and if you know the twist in that film... well, that's all I'll say about that! Don't get this confused with the film Mother starring Jennifer Lawrence, NOT THAT FILM!

Originally titled, Ajeossi, The Man from Nowhere(2010) is a fantastic film that is high energy and fast paced! We tried to compare this Korean action thriller to some American films like Taken or Man on Fire, but nothing quite fit, this is in a league of its own!
A quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug-and-organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.

Piece of advice, this movie is extremely hard to find, but don't settle for the 2013 Spike Lee version (it sucks) go out and buy Oldboy (2003) its not for the faint of heart but it's well worth it!

Poltergeist (1982) is a classic horror film, but what we didn't realize is that its nothing like The Exorcist or more like The Exorcist lite... Steven Spielberg can put whimsy on anything even if he doesn't direct it first hand! Nonetheless we enjoyed this very much... How much?? Listen and find out!

So many space movies, so little time! 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) in man opinion is height Kubrick and one of my all time favorites! Amazing to come out with something so ambitious a year before humans go to the moon! The movie is a epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was written by Kubrick and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, and was inspired by Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and other short stories by Clarke.

I don't have anything to say negatively about the movie at all! Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, and Jessica Chastain... maybe Matt Damon is there too.

Pirate Radio or The Boat That Rocked, call whatever you like, but it doesn't stop it from being an awesome film with a great cast! Like a lot of things from Britain moved to the US of A, it becomes a little less awesome and this is what happened to The Boat That Rocked (2009) It got a title change and about 30 minutes of footage cut from it, also there's a nude scene that got cut too, so point proven!

"A car thief is forced to steal 50 luxury vehicles in one night" sounds like the plot to Fast X, but its actually a Nicholas Cage film from 2000. Gone in 60 Seconds also stars Angelina Jolie and Robert Duvall, Timothy Olyphant is also in this. This is not a film we wanted as 30 year olds in 2022, but it is when we were 14 in 2000.

For David it was The Mask, but for 6 year old Alain, it was There's Something About Mary (1998) Starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, and Matt Dillon.

Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) or a better question is who made this movie?? Starring John Candy, Annie Potts, and Jeffrey Jones, this film is about a detective who is very much a buffoon.

We are so sad to hear Bruce Willis retiring from acting, he has had such a great career and now we feel a little bad about making fun of some of his role choices over the past few years, HOWEVER in honor of him we are looking back at one of the best of his career and M. Night Shyamalan's, Unbreakable (2000). We appreciate a good hero origin story and Shyamalan created such an original concept with the roots being a father/son relationship, how can you not love it!

Extract (2009) is one of those smaller films, that might not get many accolades, however it is underrated and deserves a little more attention than it gets.
The owner of a factory that produces flavor extracts, Joel Reynold (Jason Bateman) seems to have it all, but really doesn't. What's missing is sexual attention from his wife, Suzie (Kristen Wiig). Joel hatches a convoluted plan to get Suzie to cheat on him, thereby clearing the way for Joel to have an affair with Cindy (Mila Kunis), an employee. But what Joel doesn't know is that Cindy is a sociopathic con artist, and a freak workplace accident clears the way for her to ruin Joel forever.

Alain did not enjoy this movie when he first saw it along time ago, however that is because he was too young to appreciate the intricacy of Philip Seymour Hoffman's comedic acting.

Starting off our horror/Halloween movie watching and review early with The Exorcist (1973), a classic film that has escaped David's and Alain's eyes till now! Not so much a scary movie as it is disturbing and definitely more than either were expecting.

It's sad how The Losers never got a sequel. This high action, comic book adaptation film has an all star cast; including, Idris Elba, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Evans. However, since this film was made in 2010, it's before any of them really reached super stardom. While this movie flopped at the box office, we really did enjoy The Losers!

This both sequel and prequel to The Godfather is a masterpiece demanding to be seen! Enjoy!

Usually one would have a US film trying to cater to International audiences, but not with The Great Wall! It's an international film trying to cater to a US audience by starring Matt Damon... AND Willem Dafoe. Maybe something went amiss? Directed by Yo-Mou Zhang, who also directed House of Flying Daggers and Hero.

Don't get me wrong, we loved this movie (Some more than others) So don't ask me how we got on a tangent about Jean-Claude Van Damme's Bloodsport! Rain Man stars Tom Cruise, in one of his most jack-ass roles, and Dustin Hoffman, in one of his most convincingly incredible roles.
