SGR Episode 78 - Barton Fink

Posted in Uncategorized by Dave on the June 4th, 2009

Yeah, it’s almost two weeks late.  Sorry everyone.  Technical difficulties don’t even BEGIN to explain the problems I’ve had with this one.  This episode, we talk about the gloriously surreal Barton Fink and we welcome Melissa to the show.  We’re quite happy to finally have a regular female perspective.

Interview: J.C. Hutchins

Posted in Uncategorized by Dave on the May 15th, 2009

Strictly speaking, not everything we post here is going to have to do with movies.  Sometimes, we just get the chance to talk with insanely cool people.  J.C. Hutchins is definitely one of those people.  A member of  the “new media authors” along with the likes of Tee Morris, Pip Ballentine, Scott Sigler, Seth Harwood and Mur Lafferty, they have all clawed their way into the mainstream press and publishing world.

I had a chance to speak with Hutch just last night and I wanted to make sure to post this in time for his release of Personal Effects:  Sword of Blood.  It’s a prequel to Dark Arts and…well, you should just listen to the interview.  We talk about his start as an author and podcaster along with his new book due out June 9th, Personal Effects:  Dark Art.

Preorder PE: Dark Art

StarFest Interview: Ethan Phillips and Robert Picardo

Posted in Uncategorized by Dave on the April 20th, 2009

We may as well start at the beginning.  Our first interview at StarFest was with Ethan Phillips and Robert Picardo.  The original plan was to interview them seperately, but we knew that getting them together would result in glorious chaos.  We weren’t wrong.

Dog eats heart, hilarity ensues.

Posted in Uncategorized by ethan on the April 8th, 2009

 

    Now I’ll admit, I have watched the most puzzling One Tree Hill television program that exists on the CW. What kept me watching was its pure baffling amount of “WTF” moments and melodramatic cheesyness. At times the show feels like it’s the best “spoof” of anything ever. It plays itself so straight-faced while the most absolutely ridiculous things are going on. From dramatic scenes set between two five-year olds to Chad Michael Moore/Murry’s Derek Zoolander-style of acting ; it feels almost like this generation’s Twin Peaks. Put this clip proves that it has hit a new all-time high.

Dreamworks Sued Over Disturbia Being A Rip Of Rear Window

Posted in Uncategorized by Billy Flynn on the September 9th, 2008

Dreamworks is being sued for copyright infringement for making Disturbia without getting the original copyright holder’s permission. Disturbia is basically Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window which starred Jimmy Stewart in the Shia LaBeouf role. Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart bought the rights to “Murder from a Fixed Viewpoint,” a short story by Cornell Woolrich on which the film was based. The lawsuit alleges that Dreamworks did not obtain the copyright for their use and that Disturbia blatantly uses imagery from the Hitchcock film as well as almost identrical plot points and character traits.

It took someone THIS long to figure that out?

Josh’s Score: 7/10

Ever think that you should be doing much more with your life than you monotonous daily routines?  Well, Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) does.  After seeing him deal with his annoying boss, cheating girlfriend, and horrible “best friend”, we start to understand that Wesley should be doing something different with his life.  Luckily, faster than you can say Brad Pitt, Fox (Angelina Jolie) shows up to inform Wesly that he needs to come work for a secrete society of assassins known as The Fraternity, who is lead by Sloan (Morgan Freeman).

Ethan’s Get Smart Review

Posted in Uncategorized by ethan on the June 22nd, 2008

 

    Ethan’s Score : 6.5/10  

There have always been different kinds of comedies. There are the ones churned out by studios every summer that are reasonably funny, but nothing special. And then there are the ones that truly show a unique voice and blow us away. Get Smart falls into the former category. But I’m not saying it doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. For the most part, it’s pretty solid.

    What makes this an enjoyable movie is the cast. Particularly Steve Carrell. His excellent comic timing, improvisational skills and energy gives this film such a boost. Anne Hathaway is …..(drool)….did I just lose myself there? She has good chemistry with Carrell. And Alan Arkin and Dwayne Johnson are quite funny too.

I liked that the film tried to have an actual threatening villain and plot with high stakes. But it’s not helped by bland direction and some spotty editing. A better visual style would have helped this film a lot. But really, it’s an enjoyable movie. Just don’t go in with super high expectations.

What can we do to make this site huge?

Posted in Uncategorized by ethan on the June 20th, 2008

I’ve been pondering about this over the last few days.  What can we do to get more readers? I mean, we love every single one of you reading this right now. But still, how can we get even more? How can we get more attention? I would love suggestions. I will never rest until I can get everyone on this site press passes to Comic-Con. But we need your help.
