Palmer (Apple TV+)

 

Apple TV has really been steeping up it's game lately.  Palmer is absolutely a credit to that service.  Palmer (Timberlake) is just recently released from prison of 12 years and returns to his Grandmother's house to try and live a normal life.  His Neighbor Sam (Ryder Allen) is a gender confused boy from a broken home with a junkie for a mom (Juno Tempe).  Palmer differs from the normal "pull at your heart strings" story of this nature.  It's incredibly real and v very emotional.  Not a family film by any means BUT will absolutely leave you smiling in the end.  (8/10)

 

The Little Things (HBOMax) 

 

Denzel Washington is Joe "Deke" Deacon- A man troubled by secrets from his past.  Rami Malek is Jim Baxter, a Young and hungry detective.  Both men are pulled into a hunt for a serial killer terrorizing an entire city.  Akin to "Seven," "Kiss the Girls" and "Zodiak" The Little Things pairs the older, wiser cop with the younger, more eager cop, each with a very different approach.  Deacon's constant focus on the little things of a case before extremely important, as the title would suggest.  If you aren't wrestling with your own morality by the end, somehting is wrong.

 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.

0:21:25 - ON THE ROCKS, Dir. Sophia Coppola

0:44:50 - ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI, Dir Regina King

On the Rocks (Apple TV+)

 

From director Sophia Coppola we get a comedy, drama, romance- With Bill Murray and Rashida Jones.  Laura is a young mother (Jones) who has a suspicion that her husband is having an affair and, with the help of her old world playboy father Murray), is able to spy on him and find out what the real story is.  Bill Murray is is wonderful as a larger than life playboy who hits on absolutely any woman he comes across.  His one liners and gravitas help to carry this other very mediocre movie with not much else to contribute other than Bill Murray.  Jones and Wayans (Nearly 50!) are good, don't get us wrong- they just aren't Bill Murray when this movie needed another person to help carry it.  (5.5/10)

 

One Night in Miami (Amazon)

 

Regina King!  Our hats go off to you.  Your praise you will undoubtedly receive is much deserved for this damn near masterpiece.  in this fictional story- young Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown and Same Cooke all gather after a decisive victory for Clay (Net yet Ali) and talk about the Civil Rights Movement in 1967.  What follows is a bit of a stage play adapted- Much like the recent Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Netflix) and The Boys in the Band (also Netflix).  The dialogue and story beats move seamlessly and are paced extremely well with little to no waste and not a moment lost.  This is a MUST WATCH.  (9/10)

January is not off to a bang of a start unfortunately- though it never really is.  Kick up those feet and have a listen as we get into the latest from Liam Neeson and Netflix.

Intro.  It's cold!  Roger's beat saber skills are not to be trifled with.  Roger heckled a 14 year old kid online.  Awesome.

0:45:50  - THE MARKSMAN Dir, Robert Lorenz

THE MARKSMAN

 

Liam Neeson is back!  By now we all know what to expect from these annual and very formulaic action movies all very reminiscent of Taken from 2008.  Jim (Neeson) is a retired military vet and now works with border patrol along the southern border of the US.  When he meets a mother and child running away from their pursuers, Jim is morally entangled and agrees to take the child to Chicago with the rest of his family.  

What happened to these movies?  They've been in steady decline for years with this one being the worst.  (3/10)

 

Outside the Wire (Netflix)

 

Netflix really has a thing for the futuristic soldier of fortune model lately.  And Anthony Mackie headlines their newest attempt at the genre.  Damson Idris and Emily Beecham join Mackie in this very mediocre and disappointing action Sci-Fi.  Leo (Mackie) and Harp (Idris) are on a top secret mission to stop a nuclear attack that will embroil the world in war and death if allowed to commence.  It borrows elements from a dozen other movies, paying none of them the respect and homage that they deserve.  Netflix- You can do and have done better.  (4/10)  

 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.

Two incredible heavy movies this week.  Feeling and emotion!  All of it.

It's a good week!  Carey Mulligan and George Clooney give us some movies that are well worth talking about.

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN

Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham really are gems in this hidden but should be seen gem in theaters.  Cassandra (Mulligan) sets out to get revenge on those responsible for a very tragic and defining moment in her life- those who did the bad and those who helped cover it up.  Well worth the watch and time spent in the theater.  (8/10)

THE MIDNIGHT SKY (Netflix)

George Clooney is both behind and in front of the camera in this Netflix Sci-Fi Drama about Augustine (Clooney) who must stop an expedition in space, one of Earth's last hopes, from returning home to a global disaster, and to keep searching for other planets to colonize.  His journey to an outpost, with an unidentified little girl, takes him across the arctic and through some harrowing danger.  Meanwhile, the space expedition faces dangers and challenges that only space can throw at them.

Three big movies this week.  One good, one great and one pretty terrible.  Really- it’s impressive how bad one is.    

Intro, new years memories, Tom Hinkles, Roger dominates at Beat Saber.

THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED, Dir. Bill Paxton - Shia LeBeouf, Elias Koteas, Stephen Dillane.

0:11:51 - Trailers - COMING 2 AMERICA, EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAIME and OUR FRIEND 

0:17:30 - NEWS OF THE WORLD, Dir. Paul Greengrass

0:31:45 - SOUL, Dir. Pete Doctor and Kemp Powers

0:59:30 - WONDER WOMAN 1984, Dir. Patty Jenkins

NEWS OF THE WORLD

Tom Hanks is the captain again for a sec…thir…fourth time as Captain Kidd - A Civil War veteran who fought for the south who now travels around reading the news of the world to people in different towns if they have a dime and an evening to spend.  Hi co star, Helena Zengel is terrific as Johanna- an orphaned girl with nowhere to go.  They travel hundreds of miles on a pretty breathtakingly beautiful journey across the south to find what is left of her family only to realize the cliched and inevitable conclusion.  One of the best middle of the road films of the year.  (6/10)

SOUL

Disney Pixar films need no introduction, and this one is no exception.  Jaimee Foxx and Tina Fey head up this emotional and colorful ride as we follow Joe (Foxx) has lost his passion for music and, through spoiler heavy moments, is separated from his body and must find his way back, while also helping a soul with potential to learn who she is and her passions.  Some WONDERFUL moments await you as well as a great score.  One of the better Pixar resume items.  (8/10)

WONDER WOMAN 1984

Patty Jenkins, WHAT HAPPENED?  That’s certainly an appropriate question.  Wonder Woman (2017) was, in many ways, a huge success.  Box office and critically success found Wonder Woman in droves.  Well paced, well acted and very well directed- certainly the best of DC as far as the DCEU is concerned.  Yet WW1984 is almost the opposite of the qualities listed above.  Gal Gadot, Chris Pine both reprise their roles and are joined by Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig.  We now fast forward to the 80’s where Diana must face two new enemies: Max Lord and the Cheetah.  If you’re a fan or have fond memories of the 80’s then this movie is absolutely for you, because it isn’t for anyone else.     

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.

Happy New Years!

Extinction level, a video game adaption, and two period pieces.  It's been a busy week!

Intro, Covid quarantine, white Christmas.  Worst year in 2020 years.  We just hope 2021 doesn't suck.  Roger got to do his binge drinking!   Chris and his daughters snow experiences.  Roger's his his daughter in the head with snowball.  Awesome parenting.

0:45:40 - GREENLAND, Dir. Ric Roman Waugh

1:17:20 -  MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM (Netflix)

MONSTER HUNTER

A video game adaption from Capcom.  Milla Jovovich once again with her director husband in yet another movie that does not work.  She is Artemis, a leader os a squad dispatched in the Middle East to locate Bravo team and a sand storm whips them away into another world where monsters are huge and plentiful making there weapons useless.  She meets the Hunter (Tony Jaa) and, together learn to navigate a harsh and very unforgiving land.  Oh!  Ron Pearlman is a boat captain with the BEST 80's wig and mullet.  So there's that.  (3/10)

THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN (On Netflix)

Mel Gibson and Sean Penn are absolutely the pull in this one, along with Eddie Marsan.  Following the birth of the Oxford dictionary- finding the meaning and etymology of every word recorded through history up to current date.  Gibson's James Murray is the self taught brilliant mind behind this push and Sean Penn's William Minor is a mentally unwell brilliant man who can help the academic community but needs to be treated and cured.  There are at least 2 different movies placed together, possibly three.  Well acted, but uninspired otherwise (5/10)

GREENLAND (VOD)

Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin are the leads in this extinction level film with emotion.  This is an emotional drama with a disaster baked around the center.  As a nine mile wide comet comes towards Earth, John Garrity (Butler) and his family have been chosen to be sheltered in a classified U.S. military base in Greenland.  The selection brings somewhat needed tension among others not selected and certainly helps the plot device problem these films always have.  What's different in Greenland is it's not so much style over substance. The substance and heart is there, as well as dazzling special effects that, in 2020, look as real as ever.  (7.5/10)

MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM (Netflix)

This is another one of the wonderful and much celebrated August Wilson's plays to shoot in Pittsburgh.  Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman are absolutely at their best in this, electrifying to say the least.  Other members of the cast who also really shine are Coleman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Michael Potts and Jeremy Shamos.  This very much an adapted stage plat for the screen.  More than a few monologues and one location stays for 10-15 minutes at a time, which never seem as long because of how wonderfully this is directed.  Ma Rainey "The Mother of Blues" and horn player Levee are at odds when it's discovered that Levee is using Ma's music to elevate his won status and strike out on his own.  If you watch ONE movie this week, let it be Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (9/10)

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Two VERY different kinds of holiday films.  Both over the top but in much different ways.  

Intro, the band is back together but very remote.  Roger is Bah humbug about Christmas but Chris and Grayson love it!  2020 is a terrible year, but not as bad as the comet that his the planet millions of years ago.  Christmas plans- Roger will binge drink.  Chris just hoped to "survive" Christmas, whatever that means.

0:31:10 - THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES: PART TWO, Dir. Chris Columbus

0:54:20 - FATMAN, Dir. Eshom Nelms and Ian Nelms

The Christmas Chronicles: Part 2 (Netflix)

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are part of the allure here- and as they should be along with Tyrese Gibson, Malcolm McDowell, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.  As a part two to Netflix's original Christmas Chronicles in which a brother and sister had to help save Christmas.  Part two is no different.  Once again, the sister and step brother must help Santa and Mrs. save Christmas as they get sucked into a portal by the evil elf turned human, Belsnickle.  Tis one has a huge amount of camp and Christmas spirit, BUT that's about it.  (3/10)

Fatman (VOD)

This is one of the season's best movies, hands down.  Mel Gibson just SHINES as Chris K, a real life broken Santa Clause that the script immediately commits to and doesn't look back.  Him, Mrs. Claus and his elven work force are contracted by the U.S. government to help with building military vehicles to supplement financially because, "All I have is loathing for a world thats forgotten."  That statement fits perfectly with Mel as an actor.  Walton Goggins is an assassin hired to kill Santa.  You can think you know where this movie is going, but you really don't.  But you will absolutely enjoy this.  (6.5/10)

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.

Episode 204.  Romance is the name of the game this week. ... with some Bill Burr in space.  From Wilmington, NC to Shadyside, OH.

GOLDENEYE, Dir. Martim Campbell (1995) - Pierce Brosnan era bond.  an almost non stop action movie moving from set piece to set piece. Sean Bean, Femke Jensen, Joe Don Baker, Judi Dench, Gottfried John and Alan Cumming.  Great cast.  Also, has nostalgia for most people from the n64 classic hit of the same name.  

CRAWL, Dir. Alexandre Aja (2018) - Kayla Scodelario, Barry Pepper and Alligators.  Heck of an action movie.  If you missed it in theaters, see it for free now.

LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy, Dir. Peter Jackson.  Relive the epic classic.  probably the best trilogy on the screen.  Great cast that needs no introduction.

0:37:45 - HAPPIEST SEASON Dir, Clea Duvall (Hulu)

1:58:30 - ALL MY LIFE, Dir. Marc Meyers 

Happiest Season (Hulu)

Shot in Pittsburgh, PA.  Kristen Stewart heads this cast of Mackenzie Davis, Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Alison Brie, Mary Holland, Dan Levy, Aubry Plaza, and many more.  Kristen Stewart steals the show in almost any scene she's in.  Follows Abby (Stewart) and Harper (Davis) as they go to Harper's family home for a Christmas visit who plans on coming out to her parents about her life.  More a romance drama than comedy,  this one does have SOME emotion, certainly not as much as the movie wanted to have, unfortunately.  The real laugh out loud moments all revolve around John (Levy) as he channels David from Schitt's Creek and does it well.  (4/10)

All My Life

Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr. lead the cast of a tragic yet fulfilled (true) love story of Solomon and Jennifer and how they live their last days as a couple before Harry's Cancer takes him from her.  With that description above, you'd be right in assuming you know exactly what you're getting with a purchase of a ticket to see this- emotion and tears.  Rothe and Shum Jr. are extremely likable and charming and do have chemistry on screen, though that isn't enough to save this from a below average fate (score).  Take a few tissues with you as you may need them.  (4.5/10)

(5/10)

Hillbilly Elegy (Netflix)

Ron Howard brings his directorial charm to a Netflix original about a family from Kentucky and deep in the hills, tucked away from cities.  These people kind of live their own way, which a code and respect for one another.  Amy Adams, Glenn Close, Haley Bennet, and Freida Pinto all give good to great performances while Amy Adams and Glenn Close really give stellar performances you won't soon forget.  A true story about J.D. Vance and his Family- a narrated story spanning several generations.  Heartfelt and emotional at times, Hillbilly Elegy is one you should really check out.  (7/10)
