Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 91: 22 Jump Street, Jersey Boys, and How to Train Your Dragon 2

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

22 Jump Street.  It’s actually more of a comedy about sequels than it is a sequel to a comedy.

Jersey Boys.  If Da Man had his way, the title of this film would be Jersey Boy, or maybe The One Season, or possibly just Frankie Valli.

How to Train Your Dragon 2  Dragons may be creations of fantasy, but the reality is that this sequel holds its own against the original.  Hiccup, Toothless, and the gang are back together, and this is a flight of fantasy you’ll want to take.

Cinema Misfits, Episode 82: Dallas Buyers Club, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Philomena

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Dallas Buyers Club.  First Anne Hathaway lost 25 pounds to be in Les Miserables, and now Matthew McConaughey loses even more weight for his role in Dallas Buyers Club.  In the future, Academy members won’t vote for best actor but will hold a weigh-in, and whoever comes in lowest will take the Oscar.

Inside Llewyn Davis.  Even though critics seem to love Inside Llewyn Davis, fans of folk music probably haven’t been this outraged since Dylan went “electric” at the Newport Folk Festival.

Philomena.  This is the story of a woman who was forced by a convent to sign away the parental rights to her young son, and of her 50 year search to find him.  You know, sometimes it seems like it takes that long to find a decent movie at the local multiplex, but if you go to see this film, both your search, and Philomena’s, will have a happy ending.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 69: Olympus Has Fallen, Mud, and 42

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Olympus Has Fallen.  Here’s a film in desperate need of screenwriting “Life Alert.”  Perhaps a better title would have been Olympus Has Fallen and It Can’t Get Up.

Mud.  You can’t always judge a film by its poster–or its title.  Despite an ad campaign that seems designed to drive audiences away, Mud is probably one of the better films of the year.
