I completely agree with Frank’s review of MI5. My summation word, excepting the motorcycle chase, is “lackluster.”

Also, there’s something disturbing about Tom Cruise not showing any gray hair. My eyes kept switching between his hair, which doesn’t coordinate with his weathered face, to his teeth. Sad, but true.

Enjoyed MI5 — about the Fast & Furious vibe, I did notice the word “friends” popping up in the script more often as the movie progressed, a la the F&F “family”. Predicting at least a dozen “friends” references in MI6….

I agree with everything you are saying. However, you are barking up the wrong tree when you bring up the “Bewitched” remake.
Nicole Kidman has never previously, or since been more beautiful than in that movie and for that reason alone, that is a great movie to me…that is the literally the only reason that it is a great movie, but I feel justified in that reasoning. Just saying.

More than right, Maik. Who cares about Twilight? And esp. without any Zone of greatness. So bring on the Good Movie Premium. Friedkin cry´s out for premium, and where is the Dirty Harry Premium.

And please please please please review Shaun the Sheep next week. This is awsome in every way, 1 Minute of Shaun is better than 105 Min of F…U. 4 made by the guys who distr. Episode 1 and Episode 2.

You can scroll down the podcast section to find past episodes. I believe 2012 episodes and newer are still free. Many older episodes are available for a small fee. The talkshoe website still has many of the 2007 episodes available for free.

episode #349 turns out to be great companion piece to the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Premium with input from Greg and Reed as well.

I think the assumption that just because someone doesn’t want to label something as great means they lack the ‘toolset’ to articulate said greatness takes the ego cake here. Either way I don’t have a problem with acknowledging the difference between quality and enjoyment.I would never deny someone the right to claim something as great, but perhaps you were referring to Frank.

You skirted over the issue I was presenting.The example of Cedric the Entertainer is an extreme one that misses the focus of my point. The issue is that if we are relying on a natural selection process we will only be left with films that are safe enough to be passed down from critic to critic.

The bigger issue is this idea greatly dilutes critical thinking when it comes to film. You talk about being lazy when it comes to articulating opinions. Is it not lazy to simply fall back on the fact that a film has been deemed great by this group of critics or this consensus list? The person who genuinely applies their mind to the idea that The Honeymooners remake is more entertaining than Citizen Kane is doing much more thinking than the one who says Citizen Kane is better because X said so.

Either way, I recognize a great deal of this discussion is, of course, generated from sitting in front of microphones for 3 hours at a time. I find all the back and forth fun and enjoyable, and not to be taken too seriously. I don’t want to come off like one of those people that holds your feet to the fire of the things you say. I totally appreciate that you’re merely having a good time with your friends talking movies. Sorry if I came off negative. I appreciate so much what you guys do.

You have replied to me a couple times in the comments and I really appreciate it. Thanks again.

P.S. I know you hate recommendations but if you haven’t seen Aniki Bobo already maybe check it out some time. I think you’d really like it.
