David: From the start of this film, you know that you are back in the world we left in the last one. It doesn’t take long for new characters to be introduced, and it’s extremely easy to hate them. First...
Shannon: Movie number two in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This film takes us onto the Flying Dutchman, a ship that is captained by Davy Jones who must keep his heart in a case for...

David: Welcome to week two of Pirates Week here at DoubleFeaturePreachers! This week is all about the Pirates of the Caribbean series. I’ll do my best to avoid stating the same things...
Shannon: I remember when this movie came out, it was such a big blockbuster. I don’t however remember a whole lot that happened in the movie, watching it only once 14 years ago. So I’m...

David: Shannon and I are constantly aware that we need to be doing things to entertain you, loyal DFP readers. That’s why we continually do things like Pirates Week...

[Double Feature] Against All Flags

David: While picking out movies for Pirates Week here at DoubleFeaturePreachers, I felt the need to bracket the career of one of the best pirates of them all, Errol Flynn. We covered his first...
Shannon: Continuing on with older movies in Pirates weeks with Against All Flags, a movie that was released in 1952 and again, stars no one I have ever heard of, except for the fact that Errol Flynn...

[Review] Baywatch

5/23/2017

by David & Shannon

Hey readers! Reboots are a thing in Hollywood right now, and I’m for sure not complaining about it. We had the opportunity to see Baywatch starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron. With us being so young, I know that for me at least I never watched Baywatch nor knew a whole lot about it other than the women in their skimpy swimsuits jogging slowly up the beach - which is a recurring joke...

Captain Blood
by Shannon
David: Once upon a time, before there was the Second World War, the world was on edge. You see, there was a little man called Hitler that had riled up an entire country, and then began to rile...
Shannon: Here we are at Pirates week! I was perfectly fine with doing just a marathon of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but David wanted to throw some old ones in there (which are hard...

Here we are folks, our 200th post! For the occasion, we’ve brought back the list we made on our 100th post.

[Double Feature] The Island (2006)

David: There seems to be a large portion of the population that hates Michael Bay. I’m not going to say that he’s the devil incarnate, but I haven’t particularly enjoyed his movies of late...
Shannon: Stumbled across this movie while trying to track down another film of the same name for pirates week. Read the synopsis and saw two names I had heard of so thought...

[Double Feature] Oculus

by David
by Shannon
David: Believe it or not, this is not the first killer mirror movie. I’ve actually seen at least one other, starring 24’s Kiefer Sutherland. That was the 2008 Mirrors (which eventually spawned...
Shannon: Two words: Killer Mirror. That is what this film is about. Two young adults who were orphaned as children try to prove that the mirror hanging in their father’s office was the culprit...

[Double Feature] Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

David: I was among the throngs of excited young children they were clamoring their parents to go at midnight to buy each new Harry Potter book throughout their releases. I was among those that...
Shannon: I love the Harry Potter movies. Not so much the books, or perhaps even the very first movie, but overall I love the Harry Potter movies. So I was pretty stoked to watch Fantastic Beasts...

[Review] Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

5/15/2017

 
Picture

by Shannon

A sequel has been born. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is exactly what you would expect from this type of film. I didn't see the first one, but it obviously is geared toward children as it's main audience, the film is full of silly jokes that people that age would find hilarious. There are so parts that the adults would find funny to, or perhaps I should say "I would find funny." For me, this was Greg's older brother...

[Double Feature] Young Frankenstein

5/12/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: I’ll be the first to come out and say that this is a movie that goes at a slapstick pace, constantly has humor hidden in different scenes and intonations, and has jokes hiding in the corners...
Shannon: Not wanting to watch this movie, I had pretty low expectations. Though it wasn’t as horrible as some other movies I’ve watched by Mel Brooks (cough cough, Blazing Saddles), it still...

[Double Feature] Shut In

5/10/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: This movie is another that had a decent potential. Starring Naomi Watts and Jacob Tremblay (Room), it also has one of the Stranger Things stars (the emo like one that gets essentially friend...
Shannon: Well then, this movie was not really what I expected, but what I watched was a good movie. Naomi Watts stars in this slow, but still slightly jumpy thriller, as Mary. Mary is a psychiatrist...

[Double Feature] The Blues Brothers

5/8/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: ​There have been several movies to come out of Saturday Night Live. Some, like Molly Shannon’s Superstar and Night at the Roxbury, are funny, but ultimately forgettable. But others, like the...
Shannon: ​Starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, The Blues Brothers starts off with Belushi’s character getting out of jail. His brother is picking him up, in what is an old police car. The storyline...

[Double Feature] Zodiac

by David
by Shannon
David: Zodiac is a thriller that came out in 2007. I’m not really sure how I missed it the first time around – I actually think I owned the film for a time, and just never got around to watching it. However...
Shannon: Oh my goodness. This movie was LONG. I understand that the Zodiac killer rampage and investigation went on for awhile, but seriously, a 2 hour and 37 minute movie? Robert Downey Jr...

[Double Feature] Joy

by David
by Shannon
David: There’s a moment in Joy where our title heroine, Joy Mangano (Jennifer Lawrence), enters the QVC studio and is immediately swept into the swirling television world, which is...
Shannon: I thought Lawrence did a good job in this film, per usual. As the film progressed it was evident that the main character was growing into herself, becoming more confident, and ultimately...

David: Allied is the story of a Canadian man and a French woman who meet in the war under cover to assassinate a German ambassador. They fall in love as part of the mission, get married...
Shannon: Here we have yet another World War 2 movie, but this one is a little different. There are no citizen rebels helping the Jewish (like in The Zookeeper’s Wife) and there are no scenes...

[Review] King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

5/1/2017

by David

After watching the most recent flailing attempt at a mythical movie, The Legend of Hercules, I wasn’t exactly excited to go see what I saw as another gritty, realistic reboot of a film. I slouched into my comfortable seat in the theater, pulled my free hat over my face, and attempted to snooze while awaiting the film to  start. Eventually, I broke down, got up, and...
