The Hollywood Outsider – Film and Television Podcast | Reviews An award-winning film and television podcast for the fan in all of us
Out this weekend are 4 new films, as we discussed in Episode 87 to more detail, here they are:
42 – Jackie Robinson was the baseball player who changed how races played sports…as well as America. Truly a remarkable story and the film is getting generally positive reviews. And it has Harrison Ford being a cranky old man. So Indy 5 basically. Brian and Scott’s picks of the week.
Scary Movie 5 – Yea. Part 5. A spoof of horror flicks. The 5th film in the franchise. Generally negative reviews. The franchise looks to be limping along and this seems to be a cash grab. Be leery. The scariest thing in the film is Lindsay Lohan pretending to be sober.
Disconnect – Jason Bateman stars with numerous other B-level stars in a story about what happens when we rely too much on technology. Generally positive reviews, though at 66% positive, definitely not stellar at this point. Justin and Aaron’s picks of the week.
To the Wonder – Terrence Malick directs this romantic film of various threads, starring among others – Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and Javier Bardem. The film is getting poor reviews and is currently at only 41% positive. Avoiding till video seems the way to go.
If you can’t make it to a theater, then listen to Episode 88 of The HO – JUST OUT!
