Posted by Rodney | April 10, 2014, 9:46 PMHey Brian. Couldn’t agree with you more regardings About Time. I couldn’t come up with quite the phrase to describe it; I kept saying, “But what’s the conflict? Where’s the resolution?” I like, “What’s the rub?”
Anyway, you’re absolutely right. Thanks for agreeing with me haha!

Posted by bob | March 20, 2014, 12:36 PMTigerland is a great movie with a making performance by Colin Ferrell, plus an early Clifton Jr performance. Hard to believe the same guy who gave us this & Falling Down made pieces of shit like Batman Forever & Batman & Robin, plus Number 23. Thought Aronofsky, David O Russell, & Eastwood could have made the list.

Posted by jratm23 | March 18, 2014, 12:47 AMI completely disagree with that take on Ferrell’s performance in Tigerland. I thought he was awful. The scene where he is starts getting teary-eyed over his friends situation (i think they were in a kitchen or something) was so bad! I orginally thought his character must have just been pretending to get emotional, because Ferrell was so fake.

Posted by One of your most faithful Better with Biehners | March 16, 2014, 9:13 AMGood episode guys except for your opinion on sunshine. To all those who have not seen it or haven’t seen it because of this refrain i have heard from several idiots “the third act sucks” don’t listen.
If you feel this is true as brian and anderson do then you need to see it again. Without spoiling anything you will see the entire movie was heading toward that third act the whole time.
Like any great movie you have to see it more then once to catch everything. Its a very intelligent adult movie that makes to pay attention to every frame and make some connections using your own brain to get it.

Posted by p1nbacker | March 15, 2014, 9:20 AMJust because somebody doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean they’re stupid, dude. I was hoping they wouldn’t go down that road the whole time I was watching the movie – the first two acts were so intriguing and smart and there was plenty of suspense and danger inherent in the mission already. They didn’t need to go there.

I met Chris Evans at the Captain America 2 premiere a couple of days ago. I said, “I loved your performance in ‘Sunshine,’ too. You were awesome.”
He just smiled then pointed at me in a sort of Tom Cruise-like way and said (equally as cocky) “thankyou” (deliberate combination of words there because it sounded that way phonetically).
….which was fine.

Posted by The real Chris Evans | March 15, 2014, 4:00 PMWell, “Chris,” I never wrote that I “attended the premiere.” I choose my words very carefully.
And if by some 1% chance you are the real Chris Evans, you should know that I wasn’t really insulting you in that description, and I actually think that you are a good actor.

A Day with the Boys may have been the worst thing I’ve seen all year and I just tried watching Pacific Rim. I’m not sure if there’s a generational gap here, but as I was watching it my only reactions were copious amounts of eye rolling and the feeling that if I was 17 in 1973, this would have made my friends and I really think as we toking down a fat doobie. Poor form indeed.
