12/30/2016

by David & Shannon

Hello readers! Thank you for continuing to check with us on our movie reviews and sending in all your suggestions. We have had a blast thus far, even though some movies one or both of us have absolutely hated. This is our last post for 2016 and we wanted to do a little something special. Lots of websites and reviewers do a “TOP TEN OF YEAR XXXX”, but we’ve always been a little different in that we review movie and films that are current and older ones as well. Therefore...

[Double Feature] Snow White and the Huntsman

12/29/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: As I sat and watched the credits role, I found myself very disappointed and in a very different mood from when the film began. I thought the the first… third of the film was very interesting....

Shannon: I love, love, love this movie. A Snow White story that isn't the same as all the rest. It's got all of the attributes that the original Snow White story does: dwarves, helpful animals, poison...

[Double Feature] The Huntsman: Winter's War

12/29/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Snow White and The Huntsman somehow made enough money, despite being middling, in order to make this sequel. But, they decided that Kristen Stewart, and Snow White, no longer...

Shannon: The caption of the picture above states "Discover the story before Snow White." Yes, this film has events that happen before Snow White, but generally it happens after the events of Snow White...

[Double Feature] Central Intelligence

12/28/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is everywhere in film right now. He is somehow managing to be in movie, after movie, after movie. It’s easy to see why he is being cast – he’s personable...

Shannon: Central Intelligence starts off with Bob Stone (Dwayne Johnson) and Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) while they are high school seniors. Calvin is the star of the school that everyone loves...

[Double Feature] The Polar Express

12/23/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: The story of Santa is truly an amazing one (right behind the Muppet Christmas Carol, the original special Santa Claus is Coming to Town sits as my second favorite Christmas movie)....

Shannon: For the last Holiday movie of this series in 2016, we review The Polar Express. A story about a young boy who has lost his ability to believe in Santa Claus. On the night of Christmas Eve...

[Double Feature] The Muppet Christmas Carol

12/21/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: It’s been a while since I’ve opened with a geeky fact about myself (maybe not long enough for most readers). Here’s a good one: I love the Muppets. I’m not really sure when the...

Shannon: It's kind of hard not to love this movie. One because its A Christmas Carol, and two because it's the muppets. Mostly everyone knows Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but...

[Double Feature] It's a Wonderful Life

12/19/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Whenever you bring up Christmas movies, It’s a Wonderful Life inevitably comes up. It’s, in some ways, the quintessential holiday film – angels, Christmas, change of heart...

Shannon: It saddens me a little that this is the first time I've seen this movie. Every year I hear about It's a Wonderful Life being one of the big Christmas movies that everyone loves to watch. So...

[Double Feature] Krampus

12/16/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Holiday horror films are few and far between. Sure, you have the Leprechaun films centered around St. Patrick’s day (for a while), and if you like silly cult horror you can find things like Thankskilling...

Shannon: Last year when Krampus came out, my first thought was "cool, a Christmas horror movie." After watching though, I'm not sure I would call it "cool." ...

[Double Feature] Mixed Nuts

12/14/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Welcome to our continued Christmas marathon! I really hope you at least enjoyed the post of Reindeer Games instead of the movie itself. Today we move onto the 1994 comedy...

Shannon: Mixed Nuts is just that - a bunch of "mixed nuts" with scenes that are so random that they hardly fit together. Philip (Steve Martin) is a manager of a suicide-prevention hotline...

[Double Feature] Reindeer Games

12/12/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: I had never seen this movie before. That’s not always the case with the site – sometimes I’m revisiting a film that I really loved or really hated. I had heard this one be the butt of jokes before, but sometimes ...

Shannon: Starring Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise and Charlize Theron, Reindeer Games is about a man who gets out of prison around the holidays, just to be jolted into a bad predicament by a group of thugs...

[Double Feature] Stardust

12/9/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Sometimes I wonder how well you all know me now. Some of you, my wonderful readers, started out as my friends already. Others have come to know me as we have journeyed on, through the...

Shannon: In a town on the other side of the wall - a wall that separates magic from the rest of the world - a young man, Tristan (Charlie Cox), goes on a quest to find a falling star. After arriving...

[Double Feature] The Legend of Tarzan

12/7/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Tarzan the Man Raised by Apes has been told so, so, so many times. There are classic TV shows, classic movies, and classic stories. When you approach a story that has been adapted...

Shannon: Upon beginning this movie, I was under the impression that it would be like all the other "live action Disney" movies. As it got started though, I was pleasantly surprised. The Legend of...

[Double Feature] Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

12/5/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: From what I remember, this movie was marketed as a comedy. However, it very quickly convinces you that it isn’t (despite starring Tina Fey). There’s nothing specifically wrong about that...

Shannon: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot follows an aspiring cable news reported who packs up her life and moves to Afghanistan to film the action and tragedies that happen over there. Starring Tina Fey...

[Double Feature] The Family Fang

12/2/2016

by David

by Shannon

David: Not all movies are ones that your initial impression is perfect. Some movies need a bit of time to sink in, some require multiple viewings, but some just lend themselves well to that perfect first reaction...

Shannon: Baxter and Annie Fang are two siblings who have not had a normal childhood. Their parents are famous filmographers, that plan stunts on innocent bystanders and film the entire charade...
