Highly Suspect Reviews. Hosts: An Ever- Rotating Lineup of OOU. Net’s Unusual Suspects. That’s right, your favorite geek conglomerate website is now doing audio movie reviews! The cast of reviewers is subject to change even movie to movie, we have a whole rogues gallery of cinema outlaws, but one thing you can always count on is that these funny and insightful film reviews will always be, in some way, Highly Suspect. Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House.

Well, here it is. Our review for what, despite the massive pedigree that would seem to spell out “good movie”, is one of the worst movies we’ve seen this year. Michael Fassbender plays a broken police detective in Norway who is chasing a mysterious ‘snowman’ killer. And lots of other irrelevant stuff happens, including, for some reason, a conspicuously ADRed Val Kilmer in the past acting like a lunatic. Words fail me on my keyboard as to how truly terrible this movie is.

But they don’t fail us in the review. Listen to Chris, Marco, Lara, Patience, and Ian take this movie DOWN. Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House.

Liam Neeson takes a break from chasing down bad guys in the action movie senses to chase down bad guys in the Watergate break- ins sense and, in fact, the President of the United States, in this biopic about the guy who turned out to be the confidential informant to the Washington Post (among other news outlets) whose information led to Nixon stepping down. We had mixed reactions on this one but still, full points to Neeson who can carry a film just by the strength of his disapproving glare. Chris, Marco, and Mike will be guiding you through the political murkiness on this one. Only The Brave. Are you familiar with the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots? A fire crew of badasses in Arizona? No? Ok, don’t look them up. You’ll thank me later.

LATEST HEADLINES. Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Phantom Thread’ Gets a Full Synopsis, First Trailer Coming Soon 6 hours ago; Wong Kar-Wai Says Young Filmmakers Are. Hosts: An Ever-Rotating Lineup of OOU.Net's Unusual Suspects That's right, your favorite geek conglomerate website is now doing audio movie reviews! The cast.

Watch this movie about their story without that background information. Here, Josh Brolin plays the leader of this crew of manly men who is married to Jennifer Connelly. His boss is Jeff Bridges. Miles Teller is the new guy with a sordid past determined to make a better man of himself A strong cast, but it sounds a little flag- wavey, right? Upon actually seeing it, we didn’t think so, but we do admit that a film so determined to pay faithful tribute to these important men might have some troubles in the ‘keeping the drama tight’ department. Still, Chris, Frank, and Elliott found a lot to like in this film that we suspect large parts of America will downright fall to pieces over. The Marshall. Chadwick Boseman takes on the role of legendary NAACP lawyer (and later, Supreme Court Justice) Thurgood Marshall in this story of an early case where he defended a black man on trial for raping a white woman.

Forced by a racist system and intolerant judge to only act as an advisor for the case, he has to make the reluctant Josh Gad, a good insurance lawyer but one with no criminal trial experience, act as his mouthpiece. Featuring roles from Kate Hudson, James Cromwell, Dan Stevens, and Sterling K Brown, there’s a lot to like about this film that takes on such a pivotal trial about such a legend like Marshall, but, it still felt more like a TV film to Chris and Marco. Listen to their review here. The Foreigner. Jackie Chan takes a turn for the dramatic (but don’t worry kids, he still kicks some arse) in this moody thriller from director Martin Campbell. When his teenage daughter dies in an IRA bombing in London, with nothing left to lose he reassumes old skills and starts harassing a former IRA member turned British government official played by Pierce Brosnan. What starts off looking like just another Taken clone ends up having a lot more subtlety and ‘adulting’ going on than you might expect. Listen to Chris, Marco, Michael, and Zach with their review.

Happy Death Day. So you take 3 parts Groundhog’s Day, add a healthy covering of 9. Scream slasher films, and lovingly garnish it with Heathers…what do you get? More or less, Happy Death Day. And I mean all of that largely in a good way. Following the travails of a college sorority girl caught up in that Bill Murray- esque quandary (there’s, like, a floating cloud of time loop going around these days or something) only her day keeps ending when she gets murdered by a masked figure. No time to learn the piano or ice sculpture, she’s got to figure out who her killer is, and probably stop being such an awful person herself in the process.

While we get that this seems…obvious, we were all rather surprised that we had as good a time as we did. Listen to Chris, Frank, George, and JC break it all down for you. And then go back to the start and do it again. And again. And again…The Mountain Between Us. Kate Winslet and Idris Elba are strangers but they both have important dates they can’t miss so when their flight is canceled because of weather conditions, they team up to hire a small plane to fly them to Denver together. Oops. Crash. Mountains.

LATEST HEADLINES. Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Phantom Thread’ Gets a Full Synopsis, First Trailer Coming Soon 2 hours ago; Wong Kar-Wai Says Young Filmmakers Are. Despite one of the rockiest beginnings of a would-be franchise, the Purge movies have undoubtedly been some of the most creative series to come out of the. The Exorcist (1973) is the sensational, shocking horror story about devil possession and the subsequent exorcism of the demonic spirits from a young, innocent girl.

Snow. Mountain lions. Romance? Survival film love story is the name of the game as these two acting giants battle the elements and hoary tropes to get to the end. Chris, Frank, and Elliott tell you all about it. Blade Runner 2. 04.

I never, ever, EVER, thought this day would come. Even if I allowed myself to fantasize that it would, realistically speaking it was hard not to think that it would be a nightmare, not the sequel to 1. Ridley Scott sci- fi film that I would often envision in my dreams. Ok, yes, I (chris) am more than just a casual fan of Blade Runner.

There’s a poster of it in my living room. I own two different versions of the Blu- Ray set with five different versions of the film in it. So, I am both the person most suited to love a sequel, and least suited to. Which meant that a lot of people who know me well told me, “I’m waiting to be excited or not based on what you think”. The wait is over.

The review is here. I am joined by Richard, Sarah, Lara, and George. We discuss the film at length and yet, we think, manage to avoid spoilers.

And you’re just going to have to listen to it to see what we thought. No spoilers for our opinions in the text here either.

The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)Director Noah Baumbach returns with another dramedy about a dysfunctional family. Shocker. But are we complaining? No, because nobody does these things better than he does.

This time around, Adam Sandler (yes, Adam Sandler) and Elizabeth Marvel play brother and sister who are reengaging with their half- brother (Ben Stiller) when their irascible artist father (Dustin Hoffman) needs them. Anger come to the surface with years of simmering paternal resentment on all sides and there’s as much hurt as humor. But how does it stack up to the rest of Baumbach’s filmography? Listen to Chris, Marco, Kim, and Ian to find out.

American Made. Director Doug Liman and Tom Cruise team up again to tell this story of an airline pilot who ended up working for the CIA smuggling guns to the Contras and smuggling cocaine for the Medellin cartel at the same time. So outrageous you either laugh or get mad, this true story is a keeper. Or, at least, so says Chris, Lara, and Frank.

Listen to their review here. Woodshock. Kirsten Dunst is sad. Her mother just died, and she’s got all sorts of angst about it because she assisted her and that’s gotta be hard on anybody. So, she mopes around a lot, gets high, like, constantly, and floats in the forest. I think that about covers it.

Regardless, Chris and Frank have some fun in their review. Woodshock. Kirsten Dunst is sad. Her mother just died, and she’s got all sorts of angst about it because she assisted her and that’s gotta be hard on anybody.

Regardless, Chris and Frank have some fun in their review. Battle of the Sexes. Back through the mists of time in the fantastical world of America in 1.

Saved from Development Hell - TV Tropes. Ghostbusters 3. The story behind the third film is as strange as it gets.

Rumors of multiple scripts and new Ghostbuster cast members have floated around the internet for years. To give you some perspective as to how long this was going on, Chris Farley was being considered as a supporting character back in the '9. Dan Aykroyd has reportedly written several scripts over the years, all of which failed to ignite enough interest to start pre- production. At one point, there was apparently a script written where the original team journeyed to a hellish Alternate Universe.

New York City called "Man. Hellton" (which, in turn, prompted the Russian video game studio Zoot. Fly to produce a Gears of War- esque tech demo based on this proposed script in the late '0. This, in turn, spurred the development and eventual release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which (according to Aykroyd) may as well be the canonical third film.

And Yet, script and cast rumors still continued to float around — Ben Stiller, Bill Hader and Eliza Dushku have all been rumored to be potential replacement candidates. In January 2. 01.

Ivan Reitman announced he was directing the film, and Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (The Office (US)) reportedly wrote a script with Aykroyd and co- creator/co- star Harold Ramis, that all were very happy with. Yet, there's been no word for years on the status of development. A major part of the delay seemed to involve Bill Murray — as of early 2. Murray to approve the script before they moved forward with pre- production. The film was slated to start production in 2. Murray would return.

Then Reitman began talking about the possibility of a remake for a while, before Aykroyd shifted attention back to the third film in March 2. Canadian television (for a charity project he was doing), saying they have a script (penned by Etan Cohen), they are planning to begin production in fall 2. Bill Murray will not be a part of it at all..

Fall 2. 01. 3 came and went with very little new news from Aykroyd — the script was being rewritten again, and this time actors Jonah Hill and Emma Stone were being considered as part of the "new" team of Ghostbusters being brought in alongside the older generation (minus Murray). Then Harold Ramis died in February 2. Then in Late July 2.

Aykroyd was on The Today Show and again claimed that production would begin in Spring 2. So, doubt still remained when the development hell would end. And then, it was reported that director Paul Feig was in talks to direct a Continuity Reboot, starring a female crew of Busters.

This Ghostbusters began filming in June of 2. July of 2. 01. 6. Watch The Shortcut Online Hollywoodreporter on this page.
