Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 90: X-Men: Days of Future Past, Maleficent, and Edge of Tomorrow

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

X-Men: Days of Future Past. If you’ve been looking forward to seeing the Sentinels on the big screen—you might have to keep on looking.  Like every other X-Men movie, this one devolves into a predictable showdown with Magneto.

Maleficent. Forget about fantasy violence and frightening images, why doesn’t the MPAA warn audiences about gratuitous pixie action?

Edge of Tomorrow.  In his latest sci-fi epic, Tom Crusie has the ability to reset time, but since audiences seem to assume this film is Oblivion 2, it’s unlikely Edge of Tomorrow will be a career reset for Cruise.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 83: Saving Mr. Banks, Her, and August: Osage County

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

Saving Mr. Banks.  Not even a spoonful of sugar can get the Misfits to swallow this film.

Her.  It doesn’t take place in a dystopian future.  The frame isn’t filled with high-tech CGI effects.  And humanity hasn’t managed to all but wipe itself out.  What kind of science fiction film is this, anyway?  The kind that can surprise and move you.

Bonus Halloween Episode: The Car, Duel, Christine, and Killdozer

Caught like deers in the headlights, the Misfits can only stare in disbelief at these films and ask, “Did someone really think a car from hell or a bulldozer animated by an alien life form would be scary?”  There are probably more laughs than screams in this Halloween offering, but whether it’s a trick or a treat is up to the listener to decide.
