Interstellar with Nate and Søren

November 26, 2014 By Nathan Frontiero and Søren Hough 5 Comments

Nate’s Review Interstellar surprised me. I walked into the theater expecting to see a bombastic space exploration flick. I did not expect the film to bring me to tears, but it did. The plot is centered on the final frontier, but Christopher Nolan’s latest is more than that. There’s a soul beneath the science-fiction spectacle. […]

Birdman with J and Søren

J’s Review Birdman comes close to greatness. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki’s execution of the long take is so successful it almost makes me forget about everything else in the film. I love how it moves from supposed fantasy to supposed reality without cuts, removing the objectivity that comes with a shot change. Watching fantasy elements shift into reality within a […]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes with J and Søren

July 25, 2014 By Søren Hough 2 Comments

http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/moviemom/files/2014/07/dawnoftheplanetoftheapesceasar.gif

J’s Review Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not the “savior of the summer of 2014,” and I wonder if the people praising it as such have actually been to the theater in the past couple months. As long as we’re comparing, it has none of the visual sophistication of Godzilla and completely lacks the wit of Edge […]

Godzilla with J and Søren

http://booktrib.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/godzilla2D-big.jpg

Søren’s Review Most of us went through that phase in our life where we liked to break things. We would build big cities or towers out of Legos or blocks, and then we would walk through them like giants. With this in mind, the old Ishirō Honda and Toho films engaged with the audience on […]

Skyfall with Tim, Søren, and Todd

November 15, 2012 By Tim Nicholson, Todd Hebert and Søren Hough 2 Comments

Tim’s Review Though it contains many of the high-energy action sequences and traditions that we’ve come to expect from Bond flicks, Sam Mendes’s movie plays more like a thriller/art-film, than an action movie, exploring death, resurrection, and an underlying theme of old versus new. Despite the obviousness of these themes, I never felt like I […]

Then, the contributors come together in a podcast and discuss the movie in depth.
