Description: We all agree it's a Christmas film, okay? That's not up for discussion... but since Naf had never seen it, the real question has got to be: "Is it actually any good?"
Description: When you look at all the ingredients individually here it's hard to believe we haven't seen Stardust (2007) written & directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman) based on the novel by Neil Gaiman! Marley from the Reel Lovers Podcast joins us to chat about this fantasy epic!
Description: Keegan is off but the wicked will not rest! Say hi to Nick and his preposterous choice of a film, The Signal (2014) Starring Olivia Cooke, Lawrence Fishburn, Brenton Thwaites and a discount Movieman himself!
A romantic drama for the ages... that only released a few months ago. Keegan was late to the party... so Naf rounded up Tate and Johnny and they all teamed up to apply some peer pressure.
Keegan's life was subsequently changed
Naf and Kari join forces to talk all the love in the world for how far latine representation has come in modern media. We are so happy to see more and more of our faces grace the screens in high end franchises is ways beyond tropey days of old!
This grassroots film was written by and starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Directed by Gus Van Sant and released in 1998. This film was the breakout for the writer/leads after bringing home $225 milllion from a production budget of merely $10mil! It has an 8.3/10 on imdb from over 1m reviews, a letterbox score of 4.3/5 from 740k reviews! It is number #82 on Imdbs Top rated films list and saw 9 academy award nominations including best picture, lead actor, supporting actress, director, editing, original song, score, writing and supporting actor winning the last 2 for Damon/Affleck, and the late Robin Williams. The win made Ben Affleck who as 25 at the time the youngest winner ever for an acadamy award and Damon 27 the second youngest.
Getting the film made was not easy for the unknown Damon/Affleck duo and the shopped it around from studio to studio finally getting it bought by Miramax! As per usual, it features many, many adlibbed lines and moments from robin Williams including the last line of the film which Matt Damon regards as his best addition in this must see cinema for any film maker as its mere existence is a miracle and for any other film lovers as is it unabashedly and indisputably a classic. Which Naf saw for the time this year. Don’t @ me.
Released in 2010 and directed by Sylvain Chomet, it was Nominated for an academy award for best animated feature alongside How to Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3
