theOneliner.com Podcast
theOneliner.com crew corral the latest U.K. film releases into an enclosed area and unleash some fact bombs. Join Craig Eastman, Scott Morris and Drew Tavendale as they turn their acerbic, jaundiced collective eye on some of the hottest new films.
Well, slap me with a haddock and call me Gerald! It's the last podcast from the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009! Five films covered, with more dross than we're used to. Scott and Drew drop fact bombs on The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life, Wasted, The Calling, Jalainur and Wide Open Spaces.
Well, yank my crankhandle! It's another podcast from the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009! Five films covered, with a forty percent zombie hit-rate. What more could you want? Scott and Drew cover Stella, Pontypool, Adam, Romeo and Juliet vs. The Living Dead, and Giallo.
Gosh, golly, zounds and hellzapoppin! We've got another EIFF podcast for your delectation! Join Drew and Scott as they take aim at a massive eight films, including the controversial Antichrist, Fish Tank, The Girlfriend Experience, Breathless, Running in Traffic, The Missing Person, Salvage, and Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee.
Hey, check it out! More coverage from the EIFF! This time around we're looking at Follow the Master, Exam, The Architect, Moon, and Goodbye, How Are You?. Allow Scott and Drew to fill you in on the merits or otherwise of these film-me-dos.
Good grief. We've only been here at the EIFF '09 for two days, and yet we've got ten films to talk about. Draw up a comfy chair and allow Drew and Scott to give you the low-downs on Fear Me Not, The Last Heroes of the Peninsula, Little Soldier, Easier With Practice, Pardon My French, Rule #1, Harmony and Me, Terribly Happy, Van Diemen's Land, and Mary and Max. Phew.
Howdy again, people! This time around we are talking about films! What a stunning departure from the norm! We cover the wondrous delights emanating from Terminator Salvation, Fighting, Fermat's Room and Drag Me To Hell. I can't promise you'll like it, but I am reasonably confident of it.
Ah. There you are. So nice to see you. If you'd care to pull up a chair and audio playback tool of your choice, I suppose we can make a start of dissecting the merits or otherwise of Star Trek, Angels and Demons, Coraline and Synecdoche, New York. The results will be most elucidating, I promise.
It's time for another one of these there podcast things and stuff. We cover X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Uninvited, State of Play, Outlander and Observe and Report. It'll be a hoot, we promise. Just the one hoot, mind. Do not listen expecting multiple hoots.
Hello once again, listeners! A densely packed shambles this weeks as we eventually manage to cover, in some form or another, Fast 'n' Furious, Dragonball Evolution, I Love You, Man, Fifty Dead Men Walking, Let The Right One In, In The Loop and Crank: High Voltage.
After struggling to find movies interesting enough to watch over the past month we return with reviews of Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Knowing, Marley and Me, The Unborn, Monsters vs Aliens and The Damned United. And beer.
We return after an unfortunate absence, which loads of reviews. Packed with recommendations, we quickly tidy up those we've missed by saying that you ought to make time in your life for Frost/Nixon, Milk, JCVD, Valkyrie and Che: Part One, all of which are great, and discuss in more depth The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which we're less impressed with and The International, which is just a little too dull and slowly paced to be recommended. Gran Torino, is a tremendously enjoyable note for him to step away from acting, and Watchmen proves to be a tremendous adaptation of the graphic novel and another one for the Film of the Year shortlists.
For the first batch of new films of 2009 we discuss an overall somewhat disappointing bunch of films, given their reputations. No surprise that Twilight wasn't any good, but the undeniable fact that The Reader was worse than that is surprising. Defiance and Seven Pounds aren't bad films at all, but we struggle to enthuse over them. Thankfully, an excellent combination of performances, direction and sharp observation in The Wrestler saves the show, giving us an early contender for Film of the Year.
We take a look back at our top ten movies of 2008, reel off a number of honourable mentions in what we feel has been a pretty good year to be a film fan. We also name, shame, point and laugh at the worst the year has thrown at us.
