What We’ve Been Watching:

A collection of other things we’ve been watching during the week. David tells us about “Contraband” (not very good) and “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” (Very good). Josh tells us about his continuing experiences with the 90s TV series “American Gothic” and in Josh’s Bargain Basement we hear all about “The Experiment”.

Feature Film Review

‘Gone’ directed by Heitor Dhalia and written by Allison Burnett. It stars Amanda Seyfried, Daniel Sunjata, Sebastian Stan, Jennifer Carpenter, Michael Paré and Wes Bentley.

When her sister disappears, Jill is convinced the serial killer who kidnapped her two years ago has returned, and she sets out to once again face her abductor. Source: IMDB

Spoiler Section: 31:14 – 38:18 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.

Our Verdict: A completely un-thrilling thriller that is so badly written it will make you want to watch “The Happening”. Avoid.

Watch the trailer here http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/summit/gone/

Lists of Five

This week our Lists of Five: Five Films We Knew Would Blow Just By Watching The Trailer. Movie trailers are supposed to sell us the film but every now and again you watch a trailer and just say to yourself, “oh this movie is going to blow”… oh, who are we kidding, it happens more than not. Here are five of them.

Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.

What We’ve Been Watching:

A collection of other things we’ve been watching during the week.

Feature Film Review

‘The Grey’ directed by Joe Carnahan and written by Joe Carnahan & Ian Mackenzie Jeffers based on his short story “Ghost Walker”. It stars Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, Dallas Roberts, Nonso Anozie, Joe Anderson and some really ticked off wolves.

In Alaska, an oil drilling team struggle to survive after a plane crash strands them in the wild. Hunting the humans are a pack of wolves who see them as intruders. Source: IMDB

Spoiler Section: 31:14 – 38:30 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.

Our Verdict: This film had us split. Richard enjoyed the film and thought it was a decent adventure film. David thought the ending let the whole film down.

Watch the trailer here: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/thegrey/

Lists of Five:

This week our Lists of Five: Five Great Body Parts in Movies. Liam Neeson is reputed to have a very large penis (there I said it!) and in the new film “Shame” Michael Fassbender dangles his manhood in the wind so it got us thinking, what are five really great body parts in the movies? Here are our lists… this may not be safe for work!

Spoiler Section: 29:42 – 38:10 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.

Official Feature Film Review

‘The Artist’ written & directed by Michel Hazanavicius. It stars Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Missi Pyle, Penelope Ann Miller, Ed Lauter and Malcolm McDowell.

Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break. Source: IMDB

Our Verdict: An utterly charming, beautifully made tribute to the golden age of cinema. A must see for all film buffs.

Spoiler Section: 36:25 – 44:18 – Fast forward this bit if you don’t want to hear spoilers.

Lists of Five:

This week our Lists of Five: Five Homage Movies. Taking a cue from The Artist, here are five more films that pay homage to another time, place or film.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.

*Richard Gray away this episode

Welcome to the brand new Film Actually News for January 29th, 2012. This week “Iron Sky” heads to the Berlin Film Festival, Aronofsky’s “Noah” is moving ahead, “The Amazing Spider-Man” gets a synopsis and sneak peaks, Ferris Bueller is back, “Lovelace” changes cast again and is Guy Pearce really trying to be the next Snake Plisskin?

What used to be a boring, stuffy film section of the Film Actually podcast has been spun off into it’s own, we hope, more entertaining show. We don’t make the news, we just make fun of it. Film Actually News – Loud, Fast and Under Thirty Minutes… or your money back.
