Cinéastes assemble! The entire crew is back for this full throttle episode of the Cinecast in which we lather love all over Joss Whedon… or do we? Kurt Halfyard made a last minute decision to check out Avengers just before recording – remember this is the guy that gave Cabin in the Woods a rather scathing review. So thinks might get interesting **(SPOILERS!!)**. After Marvel talk, we get into the homework submissions for the week and I can tell you that thanks to Matt Gamble, the grades are all over the map; no F’s yet, but everything from D’s to A+ are handed out. From there, Kurt wraps up HotDocs, Matt brings up a sore spot in another take on Lockout while Andrew listened to rap and watched Hackers. Lots of “stuff” here – who knew Kurt had a vasectomy?

Please bear with us this week on three accounts: 1) we’re recording on an off day than usual (a Sunday). 2) It’s 8am and we’re operating on very few hours of sleep from a boozy Saturday night and 3) we have some new hardware in the studio and are still working out some of the hiccups. There is a bit of ambient noise when Andrew is speaking but it’s not entirely unlistenable; just a tad annoying at moments. Beyond that it is a solid show featuring both Kurt and Andrew smack dab in the middle of their subsequent festivals: HotDocs and M-SPIFF. We have a mainstream defense piece (aka ‘indulge Kurt’s taste for cheesiness) and a lot of homework to get to. So Monday truly does suck a little less as the Cinecast can be the first part of your week. Or something. Hope you enjoy!

If you listen to the RowThree cinecast, you may have noted a feature going on for the past few months, the ongoing Homework Assignments, in which Andrew & Kurt (& occasionally Gamble) challenge the listeners to offer up insights (and humour) on a wide range of cinematic topics. The last one (which one cocky listener referred to as a ‘soft-ball assignment’ was to come up with some of the most creative teaser-trailers – that is movie advertisements that feature little if no actual footage from the film, but still get folks excited or introduce a tone or concept of a film. Rather than bury them in that episodes show-notes, all of the suggestions, in You-Tube format, are tucked under the seat.

But here was the biggie that I didn’t quite know existed until listener Rhiannon pointed it out.

So here it is: your smackdown in the Cabin in the Woods. Andrew sits a little further from the fire this week as to not get burned too much by the Kurt vs. Gamble nerd-a-thon. Check your watch, Necronomicon and your Lemarchand’s box at the door; it’ll be a bit of a bumpy ride. Soon after we have a bunch of old school teaser trailers to talk about; courtesy of the Cinecast listeners. We get a full ActionFest! recap including an encounter with one Ms. Gina Carrano… and a guy who lights himself on fire. Matt brings back the love to Jump Street, plays some video games and gives us a sneak review of Five Year Engagement. Lastly Andrew buzzes through as much stuff as he can including the entire Bourne trilogy, some more Tarsem, rock stars, nerds, activists, magical swords and death smugglers. Let’s just say the show is well rounded. But hey, we kept it under four hours… barely.

Whilst Kurt plans for Actionfest and Andrew digs through his catalog for The Minneapolis Film Festival, it leaves little time for theatrical screenings. Which is alright since the last couple of weeks have all but dried up in the multiplexes. But fear not, we still have listener homework to fawn over and quite a nice little Watch List to cover as well. We keep this one short and simple folks. An easy listen… if you can stand the sound of our voices and the occasional belch here and there. Man beer tastes good. Mmmmm. Beer. Oh but sorry, the movie conversation continues…

Many of you know him as “Goon”, but illustrator/web designer/movie nerd, Corey Pierce of the Critical Mass Cast has parachuted into the Cinecast floating ever so gently down on the buoyancy of his love for Mirror Mirror and making the show one of epic length, even by Cinecast standards; we do not quite break the Cinecast record but we do come dangerously close. After a signature tangent on whether or not it is appropriate to applaud or boo after (or during) a film and comparing The Raid to both porn and “The Family Guy,” we tackle the glossy and relentless Indonesian action film in the context of how a movie can set its own terms, and either fail, succeed on those terms, or transcend them. Where does The Raid fall? You’ll have to listen.

We then move on to listener submitted home work and the glory (or lack thereof) of trash cinema. Going through the various assigned work reveals both enlightening and pandering to the ‘teachers,’ which underscores that our listeners do indeed take these homework assignments seriously. Bravo to you folks. The Watchlist rounds out the show and features a lengthy discussion of the Bully documentary, Eddie Murphy and racial/sexual epithets, JFK Conspiracy Books, American Presidents – right back to the founding fathers – fosters a wacky and over-simplified discussion of politics (Is there any other kind??!!) on both sides of the Canada/USA divide, studio Ghibli, giant gorillas and one-armed drummers. Yeah, the thing is over four hours. Enjoy…or endure! (Bend like a sapling in the wind, lest one break!)

Yeah, the thing is over four hours. Enjoy…or endure! (Bend like a sapling in the wind, lest one break!)

Super, extra special thanks to Patrick Ripoll of The Director’s Club Podcast for helping out with our spoiler(!) review of The Hunger Games in this episode. We get into a little bit of Ewan McGregor channeling Indiana Jones as he goes fly fishing and Kurt just reads books. We kick it old school this week though with a massive tangent right off the bat on the nature of the “it’s so bad it’s good” theory of many a cult film. Also the term, “objectively bad or good” has been kicked around lately on the site so we dive into that as well. In-house business doesn’t kick in until about the thirty minute mark, so you kind of know what you’re getting into here. Also special thanks to Jim Laczkowski (also of The Director’s Club Podcast) for providing us with this week’s opening theme music; Wayne Newton, eat your heart out! At any rate, enjoy the tangential David Lynch retrospective, the marvel of 80s robotics and of course quicksand in space.

With not much going on, there sure is a lot going on. We go gaga over the new Prometheus trailer. We have (row)three theatrical reviews to cover today and we touch down in Iran before cruising over to Jump Street and then we get our ass to Mars. We take our time, so bear with us and feel free to skip around the show but beware the full spoiler-discussion of A Separation – see the well deserved Oscar winning film before listening to that segment.

Kurt waxes ecstatically about the packaging and presentation of the new Special Edition BATTLE ROYALE DVD/BLU set. Hunger Games looms on the horizon.

Technically there was no show last week and the side effect of doing an Anniversary Clip-Show is that this week we have a lengthy Watch List to dive into. Watch out for the quick sand, subway squatters, slimey lawyers, Nick Cage as an Atlantic City Cop and Dennis Hopper’s chainsaw wielding antics! With this much off-beat violence, the show could be hazardous to your health. But feel free to indulge in your (Miami)vices and jump in feet first. You. Are. Invited.

If you are a relatively new listener, there is lots of Cinecast ‘history’ buried in this, our 250th (Spectacular! Spectacular!) episode. Clip Show!

Extra special thanks to Jim Laczkowski for putting together the opening and closing bumper music. Genius! So thank you sir!

What is Gamble’s next door neighbor up to? Matt grades a special homework assignment this week and a variety of scenarios are proposed and considered in detail to the point where one member of the cinecast breaks out a pretty spectacular Ted Levine impression. Also theatrical reviews of Canadian Hockey Hoser-y happens in Goon. And the found-footage mega-party, Project X, not only brings the age-divide into stark relief but also results in an overall missed opportunity. The Watchlist covers a lot of ground: Robert Bresson, Danny Boyle, Errol Morris, Neil LaBute, Paul Greengrass, Nevaldine/Taylor, Martin Scorsese, Tim Roth, and delightful gay men. Onward!

A lengthy show today as Kurt and Andrew spend far too much time talking Oscar, not so much who won what, but the details of the TV Broadcast, the nature of award shows and the aging of Billy Crystal. We grade homework assignments, and it is pretty “A”s all around as the listener-ship turns in some fine examples of ‘adult animation.’ Kurt talks about the major face-lift of Toronto’s venerable Bloor Cinema. Gamble pops in to discuss the much lauded Indonesian action film, The Raid. He also offers a mostly positive review of John Carter of Mars, which leads to all sorts of tangents, particularly on the woeful marketing that Disney has done for the film as well as the films long and storied production history. The Watchlist sees everything from extended onscreen equine-death and flying dog-dragons to poliziotteschi to headhunting natives to Korean exercises in style to Jodie Foster busting heads to an Algerian ‘best-teacher-ever’ Oscar nominee to Cate Blanchett modelling period costumes in the boddice-ripping period epic, The Golden Age. Either fast-forward or stay all the way to the end whereupon Gamble lays on one of the strangest homework assignments yet. One that is predicated on the strange and unusual neighbor that is seemingly taunting Gamble with strange goings on. It’s a doozy.

Here we are a week before Oscars and there is so little to talk about on that front other than that there is so little to talk about. Gamble gives a run-down on the Best Animated Shorts which are always worth a look. Kurt gives a sparkling review of the latest Studio Ghibli animated feature; a Japanese spin on the classic British children’s novel The Borrowers. Re-titled The Secret World of Arrietty, the film is surprisingly adult in tone and theme and worth looking at on the big screen. We spend a tangent-driven span of time grading the homework assignments (criminal clowns) before diving into The Watch List: Wil Wheaton, Elliot Gould, Alain Delon, Brian DePalma, Michelangelo Antonioni, Billy Bob Thorton and Anna Faris! Andrew goes to town on smashing Tiny Furniture. Matt goes to town on pummeling the seven-year-delayed Margaret (and in the pejorative sense thinks Kurt and Rot will love it).

]]> http://www.rowthree.com/2012/02/23/cinecast-episode-247-pretentious-twaddle/feed/ 39 2:48:15 Review for "Secret World of Arietty" as well as a significant watch list and grading last week's homework on criminal clowns. This and more. Thanks for listening! Here we are a week before Oscars and there is so little to talk about on that front other than that there is so little to talk about. Gamble gives a run-down on the Best Animated Shorts which are always worth a look. Kurt gives a sparkling review of the latest Studio Ghibli animated feature; a Japanese spin on the classic British children’s novel The Borrowers. Re-titled The Secret World of Arrietty, the film is surprisingly adult in tone and theme and worth looking at on the big screen. We spend a tangent-driven span of time grading the homework assignments (criminal clowns) before diving into The Watch List: Wil Wheaton, Elliot Gould, Alain Delon, Brian DePalma, Michelangelo Antonioni, Billy Bob Thorton and Anna Faris! Andrew goes to town on smashing Tiny Furniture. Matt goes to town on pummeling the seven-year-delayed Margaret (and in the pejorative sense thinks Kurt and Rot will love it). As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!

With February really slumming it in theaters, the boys don’t have anything new to talk about this week. But why talk new when our listeners are so much smarter than us and provide us with lots of ponderous material of yesterday to talk about? The homework assignment this week turned out to be much more rich than we thought possible and so we have a good time with that stuff. The Watch List is equally entertaining this week with some old school Kubrick, time travel, unrelenting martial artistry and the much needed Indiana Jones fawning. Stay tuned near the end of the show for next week’s homework assignment and some general film related rambling as the boys try to kill as much time as possible just shooting the bull. Welcome.

Welcome back to our little show. Lots of in-house business items on the table this week, including the first grading of this semester’s homework assignments. Kurt and Matt discuss found footage superpower movie Chronicle. We delve into the state of the reborn Hammer studios with spooky ghost tale, The Woman in Black. Then we talk Clint Eastwood, Chrysler and the state of the Nation through Advertising and Politics. The Watchlist covers a fair bit of talk on David Mamet, but also the woefully received Clint Eastwood rugby movie, Invictus. Also, terrorism, Carlos and the films of Olivier Assayas. And Miranda July revisited. It’s a pleasantly meandering show in an otherwise quiet movie-going month. Join Us.

Not entirely sure what that means to everyone out there, but Kurt and Andrew each give their take on the matter. A smaller watch list this week since we’re recording so close to last week’s episode, but there a bit in here to chew on for sure – including Kurt finally hitting up Joe Wright and his heavy melodrama, Atonement. That should be worth your price of admission right there. We’ve also brought back the homework assignment segment to the show and there may be rewards for those who complete their coursework, so be sure to listen for that. So sit back and enjoy the spirited festivities.

Soderbegh claims he’s retiring. Yeah right. Every time I turn around my IMDb smart phone app is alerting me to something new he’s working on. Haywire was something we heard about what seems like ages ago now and it’s finally here. Does it live up to the wait and the expectations? Matt Gamble takes another one in the nuts for the team with Red Tails and the latest Underworld picture; in 3D this time. Kurt’s children chime in for a couple of minutes on their thoughts on the 80′s animated series “Dungeons and Dragons.” After that technical snafu, we’ve got a helluva watch list this week rounds out the show with 80s, underrated goofery, catching up with some underseen gems from 2011, a love fest for Ti West’s latest, some Man for Earth discrepancies and a whole lot more.

With an aversion to Polanski reminiscent of the plague, Matt Gamble has graciously bowed out this week which has allowed us to bring back our good friend Jim Laczkowski as guest co-host. One half of The Director’s Club Podcast, Jim brings lots of love for all things Cronenbergian and psyche-based. So fitting that this week Kurt, Andrew and Jim put on our psychology 101 hats as we look into the relationship between Freud and Jung as played by Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender, respectively, in Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method (SPOILERS!). These two potentially could’ve busied their entire careers analyzing the two couples in Polanski’s Carnage (SPOILERS!), which is the second movie we’re diving into in this episode. After that, we have a nice, diverse watch list the covers everything from 80s schlock (in a good way) horror, an overlooked #1 film of 2011, Sarah Polley’s sophomore effort, the best video game to film adaptation ever made and and a not so inglourious look at Tarantino’s masterpiece. All this and more in this week’s fantastic episode.

While we patiently wait for Carnage to open in Minneapolis and for A Dangerous Method to open in Toronto, Kurt and Andrew decide to outline the 40 odd films-of-interest that are on the radar for 2012; there appears to be lots of interesting science fiction coming this year and a large pile of auteur-type films on the way. Moving onto the Watch List, discussion skips along from a rewatch of an under-appreciated genre flick from 2010 to a lengthy bit on Oliver Stone’s (and Stephen King’s) JFK. Added to the mix is John La Carre’s The Spy Who Came in From The Cold, Kurt’s family sings along to The Sound of Music, some early John Carpenter, Ron Howard and lots of love for Peter Sarsgaard, and a small bit on BBC’s current “Sherlock” TV series. Enjoy.

]]> http://www.rowthree.com/2012/01/11/cinecast-episode-241-with-gusto/feed/ 31 2:30:38 We look ahead to our most anticipated films of 2012. Also a quick watch list. Thanks for listening. While we patiently wait for Carnage to open in Minneapolis and for A Dangerous Method to open in Toronto, Kurt and Andrew decide to outline the 40 odd films-of-interest that are on the radar for 2012; there appears to be lots of interesting science fiction coming this year and a large pile of auteur-type films on the way. Moving onto the Watch List, discussion skips along from a rewatch of an under-appreciated genre flick from 2010 to a lengthy bit on Oliver Stone’s (and Stephen King’s) JFK. Added to the mix is John La Carre’s The Spy Who Came in From The Cold, Kurt’s family sings along to The Sound of Music, some early John Carpenter, Ron Howard and lots of love for Peter Sarsgaard, and a small bit on BBC’s current “Sherlock” TV series. Enjoy. As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Cinecast version of the recap of 2011. We’ve got the obligatory top tens to get to, but first we rehash some of the trends of the year. From the 1980′s to evil cults, it’s all in here. Things get heated sometimes, after Andrew outs the unspoken rule about not nitpicking (or outright bashing) Top 10 picks, it becomes a sport. Most of the time, however, it is in fact a love-fest. Watch out for the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Review buried in the top ten as it gets a more than a little SPOILERY!!. Otherwise enjoy all 180 minutes of one of Andrew’s favorite show to do of the year. It rushes by quickly!

The Christmas holiday has a knack for doing two things. One, about 100 major theatrical releases all vying for a spot at the Oscars. Two, it keeps the movie nerds (us) home with family, friends and food rather than out at the multip-plex to see said films. That said, we managed to catch up with a few different currently released titles this week. Kurt indulged in the Spielbergian version of mo-cap while Andrew took Matt Gamble’s advice and caught up with Detective Holmes on his second go-around. But starting things off this week is some talk on the much buzzed about, silent picture, The Artist. Much buzzed and now much loved as well. A very very quick watch list then off to bed to rest up for what should be a lengthy week of playing catch-up in anticipation of year-end wrap-ups, lists and such.

We’ve got entirely too much content to squeeze into one single episode, and this one is busting at the seams. We kick things off with the Batman 3 Prologue before moving into our Top 5 guy performances. Ghost Protocol sees the Mission Impossible franchise (along with The Dark Knight Rises) usher IMAX 2D back into the conversation. Classically staged action set-pieces abound, and Kurt, Andrew and Gamble dig Brad Bird’s style, even if there is a lament for the Bad Robot momentum over brains approach to the actual plot and characters. More contentious is the David Fincher The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which also tastes great, and is also less filling. The boys parse exactly what is Lisbeth Salander, a self-sustaining superhero, or a broken lesbian looking for a conservative/traditional relationship and ponder if handsome and meticulous is enough to praise what is ultimately a middle-of-the-road Fincher joint. As there is a 20 car traffic-jam of new releases over the lead-up to Christmas, we spend some time with other titles floating in the multiplexes: Margin Call, The Sitter, Sherlock Holmes 2 and Tarsem’s Immortals (and Gamble goes gaga over the latter two titles.) The Watchlist, tangents on RedBox, and more homoerotic tension than you can shake a stick at, round out the show in what is, even by our standards, one of epic proportions.

Well, Gamble’s Back. But after the Thanksgiving Weekend blow-out there is precious little in the way of new releases, making this show a Mega-sized “The Watch List” episode. Before we go there, we delve into our favourite female performances of 2011 (of all shapes and sizes.) One small observation: We talk a lot of documentaries this episode, and go over a lot of TV series; particularly Matt who was laid up with a sports injury for over three weeks and watched a metric tonne of TV/film/etc. The latest from Errol Morris, Werner Herzog, and another go around with Bellflower. Take it away Gamble.

Aaron also happens to work for the best cinema chain in town, Landmark Theaters; not only does he seem to know his movie stuff, he’s got a voice for radio to boot.

We missed last week’s episode due to other obligations and illness, there is a LOT to get to this week. From Lars von Trier’s visually rich disaster/depression epic to the long awaited new Alexander Payne film (it has indeed been six years) we cover your auteur cinema-making-guys. But wait, there’s more: Fifties sex icons, furry-little-singing-nostalgia-engines(tm) and a whole lot of early cinema history enshrined in a Martin Scorsese ‘kids film.’ Enjoy this double-digest episode of the show: It’s time to start the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to talk death, depression and the urgent need for knowing our history on the Cinecast tonight.

He also happens to work for the best cinema screening chain in town, Landmark Theaters. So not only does he seem to know his movie stuff, he’s got a voice for radio to boot. Since we missed last week’s episode due to other obligations and illness, there is a LOT to get to this week. From Lars von Trier’s visually rich disaster/depression epic to the long awaited new Alexander Payne film (it has indeed been six years). But wait, there is more: Fifties sex icons, furry little signing and dancing nostalgia engines and some cinema history enshrined in a Martin Scorsese ‘kids film.’ Enjoy this double-digest episode of the show: It’s time to start the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to talk death, depression and the urgent need for knowing our history on the Cinecast tonight. As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!

Our quickest show in some time: Gamble mangled his ankle and is on the DL and Kurt is suffering from an energy sapping cold. But we soldier on folks, we soldier on. Like good little Cineastes, we check out the yearly offering from Clint Eastwood. This time it is a puffy Leonardo DiCaprio making out with the man in the bad latex, Armie Hammer (sans CGI twin) across the annals of twentieth century America in J. Edgar **SPOILERS**. This segues into our first “VS.” segment, where we debate “Eastwood the Actor” vs. “Eastwood the Director”, and struggle with the thin line in between those distinctions. We also check back in with quality Brit-Creature-Feature Attack The Block **SPOILERS**. In The Watch List we get our music on with Bill Condon’s Dreamgirls and Jean-Marc Vallée’s Café de flore. A little bit of philosophical waxing on the nature of the Space and Time rounds out the show.

A high energy show, especially so considering the lack of Matt Gamble. Kurt and Andrew talk a little Tower Heist and the public whipping of Brett Ratner – due to more than one recent public faux pas and his penchant for being a douchebag in public. They then move into the meatier movie meal that is Martha Marcy May Marlene **SPOILER WARNING**. But wait, there is more: A new Top 5! Plus, the Watch List keeps the fires burning, all toasty-like, as Kurt gets really, really enthusiastic about big screen viewings of Kubrick and Gilliam films. There is a fair bit of disagreement about the pleasures of David Twohy’s Pitch Black. Also We Live in Public, Streets of Fire, From Dusk ‘Till Dawn (the proto-Grindhouse vampire flick), Super and Sexy Beast keep things lively and lengthy right to the very end. Have at ‘er, folks, she’s a good ‘un.
