Spoilers ahead!

Bryce and Josh discuss all that is Darren Aronofsky’s Noah film. Sure, we did the review, but you only read that to see if it’s worth watching at all. And it’s definitely worth the watch, but what about all the controversy going on with it? You can’t have a movie like this and not have the opinions fly like women’s underwear at a Tom Jones concert.

What they liked, what they didn’t, what makes it worth watching and what was just weird about Noah, just listen to it! No need for a plotz, people!

Stars: Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth and Anthony Hopkins

Compare to: The Fountain (2006), The Road (2011)

Move Review: Broken City

Posted in Reviews! with tags , , , on 01/23/2013 by Taylor Holt

Broken-City

Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jeffrey Wright, Barry Pepper, Kyle Chandler, Natalie Martinez

Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence, Running time 109 minutes, Action/Mystery/Crime

Compare to: Body of Lies (2008), Contraband (2011)

Mark Wahlberg and Russel Crowe showing up in this movie together is fated. Their choices in roles are so winding and twisted like lines on a map that it’s inevitable at some point, lines would intersect if only for a brief moment, then be back on their way as if it never happened in the first place.

That’s what Broken City is too. Random, brief, forgettable. Continue reading →
