This week Conor and Luke are in The Doghouse! As we kick off our 30 Days of Horror Films (sort of) with a not-so-charming British film about men who hate women, and women who want to eat men! It’s all pretty scholocky but raises a chuckle now and then. Speaking of chuckles, our Scandinavian Season continues with Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, marvel as we explore existence itself!
This week’s show features one of Conor and Luke’s favourite films, Face/Off, it’s great, it’s got John Travolta and Nicolas Cage and it’s directed by John Woo, John Woo! We also kick off our Scandinavian Season with Headhunters, a twisted tale of burglary and short-man syndrome. Table Time includes a plug for Chuckie Dregs, the new video game magazine show by Ryan Macleod of Consolevania and Video Gaiden fame. Conor gets tricked into watching another love triangle with Snow White and the Huntsman.
NOTE: The audio quality at the beginning of the second segment is a little spotty but evens out at about two minutes in.
This week Conor and Luke sit down with Ryan Denmark, filmmaker and currently the visual effects editor on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Topics discussed include the film editing process, the role of computer graphics and practical effects in filmmaking, contemporary filmmaking style, great movie fight sequences and much more.
Please check out Ryan’s work at Third Star Films dot Com.
Cobra is a great movie, Sylvester Stallone is in it. He’s a no nonsense cop, he has a knife, an elaborate looking gun and neat hair. Leon, he’s a guy who’s an assassin who takes in a little girl, that Natalie Portman’s in it. It’s sweet! Table Time brings sees some Sleeping Dogs lying.. on the… Table Time!
Enjoy the 100th episode of The Movie Express, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried and hopefully so have you. This week’s show is a bit of a free wheeler, we talk about some movies but mostly we talk about how great Conor is! Enjoy and here’s to a hundred more!
