Quantum Of Solace - or RIP The Real James Bond

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:24:30 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 94 leaves Sean, Roger, Pearce and Blofeld way behind as Daniel tries again to grow into the role. Oh, he's Bond, James Bond of course, but this is something completely different. He doesn't make a big deal about them, but James must have super powers in order to survive this flick. 3.5 bags of hit-me-again-but-harder-this-time popcorn for this sure-fire blockbuster. Action all the way. Story? No way. And what does the title mean, anway?

W - or Can You Believe This Guy?

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:48:39 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 93 looks back at 8 years plus of fun and frolic with George Jr. and his madcap band of merrymen. Oh Bushy, too bad you weren't baseball commissioner. The world would have been different today and everyday. 3.3 bags of poli-sci buttered popcorn. Enjoy your retirement, bud.

Flash Of Genius - or Blink And You Miss It

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:33:40 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 92 tackles Ford Motor Company and the plodding inventor who takes them on. Intermittant wipers - who knew they could be the stars of a movie? True story based on a New Yorker article - maybe that was where it should have stayed. Plodding and disjointed, but redeemed by the family affair. Ho hum. 3 bags of grease monkey popcorn and you'll wish you'd rented it.

Eagle Eye - or HAL, Is That You?

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:52:06 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 91 takes to the streets and wrecks everything in sight. And we mean everything. Wild, destructive car chases, an out-of-control super duper computer, and a plot to take out the entire Executive Branch of the US government. Who knew executive producer Spielberg was so destructive? 3.5 bags of can-we-wreck-anymore-police-car popcorn for this boys night out feature.

Ghost Town - or A Funny Dentist? Who Knew?

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:41:02 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 90 (another milestone, baby!) takes our panel of four to one strange flick, but what a great fable. Dead people, depressing/dour dentist, a heroine that's so easy to fall for, and a pain-in-the-ass dead main character. But - it somehow all works. Crazy funny and poignant. Put this on your must see/rent list for sure. 4 bags of 'I'm Looking Through You' popcorn.

Burn After Reading - or How Funny Is Brad?

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:51:33 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 89 gives us the Coen Brothers at their crazy best. Hilarity reigns as Brad wins the Dufus Of The Year Award. George is uninspired, but John is fantastic. As is Frances. See this nutball film before word gets out. 3.9 bags of burn-the-body popcorn for this flick that brought down the house at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Traitor - or Whose Side Is He On, Anyway?

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:51:48 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 88 takes us all around the freakin' world. You'd think you were watching Bond, James Bond. But you're not, you're watching Don Cheadle being a pretty good bad guy, or is it a bad good guy? You'll find out about three quarters of the way through. 3.6 bags of blow-up-the-bus popcorn for this start-the-fall-movie-season thriller.

Hollywood Story/Stage Fright - Film Noir #5

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:04:58 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 87 wraps up our Film Noir reviews. Thanks to the Toronto Film Society for hosting such a great series. This week we get the gory details of murders in Hollywood and behind-the-scenes action from inside Hollywood. Hitch is unmistakable in his style, even that many years ago. Jane Wyman is beautiful. Marlene Dietrich is stunning and cunning. Both flicks are worth a popcorn evening.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - or I've Got To Learn To Paint!

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:37:47 -0700

Mobile Movie Miinute 86 follows Woody Allen down the path of a lovesick puppy. Ok, Woody's not in the flick, but he might as well be, as all of Scarlett, Rebecca, Javier and Penelope are Woody in character. Well done, very entertaining. But be warned, no nudity in the love scenes. You can see it with your mom and it'll be ok. 3.8 bags of baked-in-Barcelona popcorn for one of Woody's best since the '80's. This is not Annie Hall.

Impact/Dangerous Crossing - Film Noir #4

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:06:15 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 85 notches up film noir into somewhat more modern times. Twisted characters in San Francisco in 1949 and a 1953 crazed transAtlantic crossing with a not-so-blushing bride. Both available on DVD. Rent them, but Impact is better.

Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D - or Look Out!

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:28:49 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 84 takes Jules Verne to task and poorly retraces his hero's steps back to the center of it all. Yeah, Brendan's cute, but seriously, he doesn't really act now, does he? 3.5 bags of really-in-your-face popcorn for this summetime bummer. Unless its in 3D (which earns its bags) don't bother. Certainly don't rent it, unless you're home with a gaggle of 11 and 12 year old boys.

The Scar/City That Never Sleeps - Film Noir #3

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:53:01 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 83 is film noir at its best. Everyone wants to be someone else, and both flicks climax with satisfyingly bleak endings. Rent these two and have a great time.

Hellboy ll: The Golden Army - or Freaks And Creatures Everywhere!

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:16:01 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 82 goes all summer blockbuster with Hellboy and his little band of merry freaks. You gotta love 'em all, but not so much Manny (the boss). Terrific effects from the brains behind Pan's and you've got a ride that never stops. Don't know about the Golden Army, however. They sleep through most of the movie. 4 bags of golden army butter popcorn for this summer fiesta of mirth and merriment.

Mobile Movie Minute 81 takes us back to the Toronto Film Society Film Noir series. Claudette Colbert as a maybe-crazy bride-to-be and Ida Lupino as the first feminist, imho. Rent the first, if you can. Pass on the second!

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 11:28:20 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 80 takes to the streets at night and follows the Batman as he tries in vain to evade the Joker's misdeeds. Crazy, believable, violent, action, you name it and we give Heath and Christian 5 bags of DC's best popcorn. See this movie, and then see it again. Oh, Batman is boring compared to the Joker. Too bad this one's gone. Jack, ready for a reprise?

Mobile Movie Minute 79. Special Event baby - double header Film Noir Nights all summer long! First night features Gary Cooper in the 1931 flick 'City Streets'. Beer, racketeering and a fresh-faced hero from the inside. Second film stars Lee J. Cobb in the 1957 pro-union film 'The Garment Jungle'. Well done, organizers - 4 bags of gritty popcorn for this series.

Wanted - or Preferably More Dead Than Alive

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:21:17 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 78 is as crazy a movie as you'll ever see. Driving Miss Daisy man is back, along with a band of el-creepos to take out whomsoever the knitting machine says. What? Yeah, I know, makes no sense, but it's fun, action-packed, and full of effects you haven't seen before. 3.8 bags of what?-I'm-a-superhero?-popcorn. Another summer must-see flick.

Wall*E - or R2's Cousin?

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:44:26 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 77 is a love story between a very lovable waste collecting robot and a probe from outer space. Yeah, I know, sounds nuts, but it works, as only Pixar can make it work. Fantastico! 4.5 bags of fly-me-to-the-moon popcorn. This is a must see, for sure. Another Oscar for Pixar, no doubt.

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 19:58:57 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 76 (which again we forgot) tries to bring Bruce Banner and The Hulk back to the big screen. Good try guys, but it's lame. Better to rent King Kong and get the real 'monster-gets-girl' flick. Ed's ok, but Liv sucks. You'll like William Hurt, however. And the bad guy is ugly! 3 bags of maybe-next-time popcorn.

Mobile Movie Minute 75 (another milestone, baby) is Adam Sandler up to a new and different bag of tricks. Funny as hell, this is going to be a major hit for Happy Gilmore! You may even take up hairdressing after this flick. 3.8 bags of gee-I-didn't-know-he-was-that-funny popcorn.

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:51:00 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 74 is not the movie you've all been waiting for. But Cindy certainly has. Questionable audio quality, questionable reviews, questionable whether you'll even listen to this episode. On the other hand, they did like it and they're quite animated. Shrieks even. Huh? 5 bags of you-can-go-without-me popcorn for this sure fire hit. Popular with the ladies, it will be.

Indiana Jones And The KIngdom Of The Crystal Skull - or C'mon Indy, Time For Some New Tricks

Fri, 23 May 2008 20:03:26 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 73 picks up nineteen years later and now Indy is fighting KGB agents instead of Nazis. Nice change. Ho-hum remake of the first three, with a touch of Tarzan, The Mummy, Raiders, Star Wars, Ten Commandments and everything else that George or Steven have done before. But - we still liked it ('cause it's Indy after all). Go see it. 3 bags of I'm-ready-for-retirement popcorn. Indy, pass the Fedora, eh?

Speed Racer - or Freakin' Unbelievable!

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:48:03 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 72 follows Speed Racer all the way from a backyard garage to the craziest Grand Prix you'll ever see. Bright colours, loud noise and lots of action, mixed with a useless storyline and you've got something unlike anything you've see before - especially in IMAX. Harkens back to the Dick Tracy movie, Tron, Mario Kart, Podracing and that silly marble-maze game you played as a kid. 3.4 bags of it-must-be-summer popcorn for this not-quite blockbuster. The video game will be a best seller, the movie, not so much!

Mobile Movie Minute 71 hits the summer streets with the same verve and passion that we've seen every summer for the first-off-the-mark blockbuster. In the spirit of Jaws, Spidey, X-Men, Independence Day and all that have gone before, summertime is funtime at the movies! Robert Jr. is the right mix of pathos and humour. Jeff Bridges is an endearing baddie. Well done, all. 4.2 bags of blow-'em-all-to-Hell popcorn. Go. Have fun!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - or Oh No, She's Still Here

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:22:57 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 70 does everything except forget Sarah. This film is going to be something like 'Something About Mary'. We'll forever remember Sarah Marshall. Her name is going to be generic for breaking up. Too bad, really, 'cause there's a bit more to this film than bad break-ups. There's naked Jason, but no naked Kristen. Really too bad. Funny film, 3.9 bags of could-happen-to-anyone popcorn. Will be a huge rental!

Mobile Movie Minute 69 doesn't live up to its number. Not by a long shot. Dennis, Ellen, Sarah and Thomas stumbling around trying to figure each other out. Join the Canadian bandwagon, however, and go see every film that Ellen Page is in. It's the Canadian way. Sort of like Bryan Adams and Wayne Gretzky. 3.2 bags of grow-up-already popcorn, and I don't think you'll miss much if you skip this piece of relationship slop.

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:43:16 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 64 (which we forgot during the show) takes us inside the 'privileged' barracks of a Nazi concentration camp. Counterfeiters all, they're working under duress to create bogus British pounds and US dollars. Very intriguing, very well acted and very well told.

Quite the combo, and Ralph is just freaky nuts. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll have a great time. Terrific little ditty about hitmen hiding out in a backwater village, waiting for the next assignment. Oh wait, the next assignment is them. Huh? 3.8 bags of little-European-village popcorn.

I'm not sure - it's too much of a relationship, coming-of-middle-age film for a cynic like me. You might like it, however, especially since they do their best by their dad who did nothing for them. But then he dies. Ho hum. 3 bags of who-cares popcorn. Ok, go see it. It's well acted, it's a sad little tale, but it seems to end happily. Again, I'm not sure.

The origins of today's trouble in Afghanistan revealed for the first time in a not-comedy-but-funny-anyway-sort-of-war-movie.

Mobile Movie Minute 49.9.9 'cause we're waiting for Cindy to celebrate number 50 with us. It's only fitting, however, it's also kind of rude. She dumped a Will Smith, black action hero flick for the Nutcracker Ballet. Ok, so it was a Xmas gift, but that's still not right. We have a podcast to do, and an audience to satisfy. Now, on with the show...

Will Smith, trying to save the world, but it's way too late. Way too late. And for that effort he earns 3 bags of epidemic popcorn in a holiday season not-quite-blockbuster-like-he'd-like-flick. That's a lot of words, and it's better dialogue than you'll get in this movie. However, I say go see it, 'cause it's good, dumb fun, laced with rabid zombies. How can that be bad?

Not 50 - or We'll Get There Eventually!

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:29:21 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute Not 50. Ok, so not yet, but soon. This special episode is just a teaser as we wait and wait to finally see The Golden Compass. Special music from the Podsafe Music Network. You'll love 'Regifting For The Holdiays' by The Alice Project. 5 absolutely perfect bags of popcorn for this episode, and the music.

C'mon, say something! Cynthia? Timmee? Are you there? robertintoronto@gmail.com

No Country For Old Men - or No Kidding!

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 08:05:04 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 49. What a weirdo, and where did he come from anyway? This guy Javier is just plain strange, but no stranger to blood, guts and gore. The guy's my new hero! Joel and Ethan put out one weird film here, but it is engrossing. Great acting, but honestly, no-one except Mr. Weird is onscreen for any length of time. Go with a buddy, I don't think this is for your girlfriend. 3.5 bags of gore-soaked popcorn, and be prepared for the blackout ending that explains nothing.

Special ending music as we reveal 'Maniac Dance', by Stratovarius the band from whom we stole our theme music! - and you can find them on iTunes, but first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovarius

Something to say? We care - no really! robertintoronto@gmail.com

Beowulf - or How Do You Pronounce That?

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 13:02:56 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 48. Ugly, freakish, ghoulish and beautiful. It can only be Beowulf - which, believe it or not has an invisible but audible 'r' in the name - it's actually pronounced 'Bearwolfe' - go figure eh?). Angelina is on screen for only 5 minutes, but she's naked every one of those minutes, sans nipples. Again, go figure!. Is it real, animation or both? We can't figure it out, but you'll really like this flick, unless you think you're going to a chick flick, in which case you'll hate it.

4.5 bags of freaky medieval popcorn for this grisly thriller. See it more than once, and take a cool co-host with you, like Daniel!

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead - or Can It Get Any Worse?

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:11:32 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 47 (although I forget that at the end). Phillip and Ethan, shootin' up anyone who seems to know anything, kind of reminds me of 'A Simple Plan'. This is a tense and dark little thriller. You'll feel their anguish, but there's something to be said about the first few minutes. A naked, sweaty Phillip in the throes of sex is something to behold. As is the 3.75 bags of sweaty-palm popcorn that you'll devour during the tense moments.

Across The Universe - or Beatles Mama Mia

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:00:00 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 46. I'm not stuck in the 60's but this film has me hankerin' for the good ol' days of sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and battles with campus police. 3.9 bags of psychedelic popcorn, and you'll go home looking for Mr. Kyte. Fun and worth seeing. Universe gives you its own look into student rebellions and acid soaked parties. Hey JoJo, were you really a loner?

Special music features at the end. Turn your volume up to 11.

Who cares? Direct line to our star and producer: robertintoronto@gmail.com This episode features Jesse - he's cool!

Lions For Lambs - or Idiots For Actors

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:28:54 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 45. Mom, don't see this for Meryl Streep. Although her role is interesting, Tom and Robert just plain suck. And so does this anti-war wannabe. Harkens back to nothing you've ever seen before, although there is a bit of a 'Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid' moment. But it's fleeting. Oops, it's gone. And so will one and a quarter hours of your life, completely wasted at this flick, worth only three quarters of a bag of stupid popcorn.

Agree? Don't agree? We don't care, but email robertintoronto@gmail.com anyway.

Rendition - or Hide And Seek Is No Kids Game

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 18:00:00 -0800

Mobile Movie Minute 44. My mother saw this flick 'cause Meryl is starring in it. Boy, was she fooled! However, Jake pulls of his role, as does Peter. The Legally Blonde chick? Not so much. 4 bags of spy popcorn, and this film is a lot of fun, but terrifying from its political perspective. You might want to watch over your shoulder on the way home.

American Gangster - or Who Da Boss?

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 10:26:19 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 43. Guests abound in this special edition! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even fast forward, 'cause it's another black American super hero movie. Well, super bad guy, who's so bad he's good. Loved by all in Harlem, 'specially the druggies. But not their moms, apparently. And certainly not by Russell, although he does respect him. Hmmm, now that's Italian!

4 bags of Blue Magic drug addict popcorn, and we think you'll like it. It's a bit long in the tooth, and reeks of Godfather influence, but it's good.

Ya'll wanna be on a Podast? Do like Tim and we'll get ya heard 'round the world. Guaranteed! robertintoronto@gmail.com gets you in.

Michael Clayton - or Is The Fix In?

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:16:52 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 42. The back alleys of legal fix-em-ups. Michael Clayton is all about George Clooney the executive producer the producer and the star. Couldn't be more opportunities to put the camera on old George than if you watch early seasons of ER! 3.25 bags of legal eagle popcorn, and there is a story buried in there somewhere. Not worth waiting for, but the final scene is good. And George actually has to act in that scene. Good goin' George, but I liked 'Brother Where Art Thou' a lot more. Write to robertintoronto@gmail.com and we'll talk to you, and you alone, live, on a podcast. Special, eh?

We Own The Night - or Who Do You Love?

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:48:53 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 41. Man, family can be such a pain, eh, Bobby Duvall? And who do you love, Joaquin or Mark? Anyway, enough mushy stuff, this is a terrific story, told like a well-paced novel, with one of the best car chase scenes ever filmed. 4 bags of top-cop popcorn and you'll enjoy yourself. People even clapped at the sneak preview, clearly a good sign.

Write us - we'll write back, give you a shout out, and maybe invite you to a party! robertintoronto@gmail.com

The Kingdom - or What? They Were Only Looking For Water?

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 10:22:34 -0700

Mobile Movie Minute 40. Jamie, Wesley, Denzel, and one other guy whose name I forget all manage to get into the same kind of fixes, but in their own movies. Team 'em up, I say. Until then, this is Jamie's attempt at superhero greatness. He pulls it off with a cocky attitude that reminded me of Denzel. Go figure, and then figure out how the FBI team managed to survive the bullet ridden ending of this thing. 3.4 bags of popcorn, and that's all it's worth. (You will see some great pretend Saudi Arabia sites, but it's really Abu Dhabi). Agree? Disagree? Curious minds want to know: robertintoronto@gmail.com gets you in. Really, eh?
