Movie Night





			RETURN TO HOMEPAGE

WHAT’S A ‘MOVIE NIGHT’?

	Here’s the no bullsh*t explaination: sometimes a movie needs more than a 5 minute review. Sometimes there’s a lot to talk about. Some movies need only quick reviews while others deserve a scene by scene, moment by moment analysis. This is done with a home made, poor man’s director’s commentary. Here, it’s a ‘critic’s commentary’.

		Basically, get your DVD or BluRay or OnDemand copy of the movie ready to play. Start the movie night audio, listen for the ‘start’ cue and viola! We’re watching the movie together! Or, you can just listen to the audio without watching the movie. However you prefer it, the goal is the same: performing movie surgery. Cracking the movie open and looking around its insides. Seeing what makes it tick, what makes it so healthy or sick.

		*They might be hits that are really sht, or subtle works of art that need to be decoded. Whatever the reason, Movie Night is here to go beyond the standard director/actor/crafts person commentaries.**

Terminator 3 Rise of the Machine Movie Night


	A James Cameron-less Terminator movie. Do we need to say anymore? Yeah, I guess we do, for an hour and forty minutes! Let’s break down the how, where and why this lazy, mid 2000’s let’s-cash-in-on-franchises-motivated sequel destroyed this once great fictional universe.

Terminator 2 Judgement Day Movie Night


	Easily one of the biggest challenges any filmmaker has ever faced: Do better than The Terminator. Cameron’s answer: Terminator 2: Judgement Day with revolutionary CGI effects that ADD TO the characters and drama instead of replacing them!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Night


	It’s been 19 years since the last Indy adventure. But is it a worthy addition to the classic trilogy? Or, is Hollywood just cashing in on our willingness to pay for another Indy adventure?

The Happening Movie Night


	It’s Halloween, so let’s take a look at a movie that’s scary for many reasons, most of which is how bad it turned out. Has M. Night lost his touch? Or is this a misunderstood masterpiece?

Transformers Movie Night


	Now that the hype has died down, it’s time to take an objective look at what worked and didn’t. There’s more to a movie than cool effects.
