2008 review pt.1  (right click or click)

We discuss some of our favorite films of the year as it comes to a close.  We note that most of the Oscar calibre films are not currently playing in our neck of the woods as such the podcast is lacking in the more high brow angle.  topics of discussion and thing mentioned briefly include:

  • Rule 34
  • Gary Cole
  • Rogen and Cera backlash
  • the rise of the pathetic protagonist
  • la Beouf’s multiple PR personalities
  • the joy of unexpected contextual and tonal changes
  • death by Daewoo
  • Hetero = Bad
  • Ellisverse

“The bullet in the close-up is what’s called a fullmetal jacket.”   It is most definitely not a hollow point.

Transporter 3 review (right click OR click)

Frank gets in the car and with him of course is some dramatic foil.  It’s good times but not great times though their is a train so I can’t help but love it just a little more than I should.  Also, in keeping with our theme of pandering to women Zack’s newest written review for Punisher: Warzone is out. 

http://theforgottenreviews.wordpress.com/

 It’s director Lexi Alexander is a woman who, like Kathryn Bigelow director of Point Break, seems to be quite adept at crafting a terrible action movie.
