    On the Movie Show #41, I review:

  • SCOOP, Woody Allen’s latest film starring Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Woody Allen and Ian McShane.
  • SUNSHINE, Danny Boyle’s latest film, starring Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, Chris Evans and Cillian Murphy. The screening of this was a disaster. Read my live account (blogged from my pda) here and read elroyonline’s account as well.
  • THE SINGER (aka Quand j’etais chanteur), Xavier Giannoli’s latest film, starring Gérard Depardieu and Cécile De France.

    The Movie Show Podcast #40 - The Good Shepherd

    February 27th, 2007

    Robert De Niro’s second time out as director hasn’t had the most warm reviews of his career but I really enjoyed the film. A great cast (Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Wiliam Hurt, Robert De Niro, John Turturro, Joe Pesci) and a great script by Eric Roth (Munich, Forrest Gump… okay, forget I mentioned that bit) and a fascinating subject matter (the rise of the CIA) are just a few things this film has going for it.

    On this podcast I talk about the film and also reveal a little of the backstory (Allen Dulles, the Bay of Pigs, etc) behind the film, which is actually only a fictional account of the CIA.

    I give the film 4 out of 5.

    The Movie Show Podcast #39 - Back To The Future

    January 17th, 2007

    Back To The Future

    “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”

    I recently pulled out Bob Zemeckis’ 1985 classic “Back To The Future” to show my kids. They were reluctant at first but really got into it and it was a joy to watch their tiny minds being dazzled by the concept of time travel. So I did some research about the film and thought I’d share some of the highlights with you.

    On the show you will discover:

    1. Who was first cast to play Marty McFly, and shot a whole month of footage, before being sacked and replaced with Michael J Fox?
    1. Which dumb-ass studio executive wanted to call the film “Spaceman From Pluto” because he didn’t think anyone would want to see a film with the word “future” in the title?
    1. Did John De Lorean really get busted for cocaine trafficking?

  • And a whole lot more.

    Of course the most interesting question is - What if Michael J Fox had had a real time machine back in 1985 and could have jumped 20 years to see his own real future?? Would he have still made “Doc Hollywood”?

    My man Daniel Craig… no I mean Daniel Krause aka Dark Meat aka Ladies Love Dark M joins me on the podcast today to talk about CASINO ROYALE aka James Bond 21.

    It’s a long one - an hour and twenty! Almost as long as the film itself and we didn’t spend anywhere NEAR the $150 million they did.

    On the show we talk about our reactions to the film, the production costs and current box office returns, the plot, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Caterina Murino, Sir Richard Branson, the producers, the screenwriters, parkour… hell we just don’t know when to quit!

    I hope you enjoy it (and live long enough to get to the end).

    Oh by the way, at the end, during a short rant about Melbourne boy Eric Bana, I talk a little about his film CHOPPER. If you haven’t seen it, here’s the trailer. Hope it wets your appetite.


    The Movie Show Podcast #37 - Superman 2, Little Miss Sunshine

    December 10th, 2006

    Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut

    So yesterday I watched the god-awful “Superman Returns” again on DVD and it prompted me to go out and watch Superman II again so I could recall exactly how Lois Lane is supposed to have become pregnant. I knew the salient details but I wanted to see it for myself. As I watched it with my kids (and reminded myself how terrible it was), I did a bit research on the film and discovered this whole story about the brand new “Richard Donner Cut” which was in the cinema in the US in November 2006 and is now out on DVD (in time for your Super-Sized Xmas stockings). This prompted me to resurrect the Movie Show podcast. We also talk about Little Miss Sunshine, which despite my huge reservations, actually isn’t a chick flick and is very enjoyable, even if you see it like I did with a group of straight blokes.

    Joining me today is my friend and giant Superman nerd Scott Sherman.
