MYMHM137a - Marie's Cannibal Mix-up Double Feature!

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:35:16 -0800

A note from Producer Marie:

Back in college I saw a movie that was so disturbing, so visually mesmerizing, that it stuck with me. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the title...or even the plot really. Just a series of really disturbing images. So one day I came home and Juan said he had watched Delicatessen. In my head, I flashed to an image of the Delicatessan movie poster from the Netflix queue. In that moment I confused it with the disturbing movie I had seen in college and promptly asked him "Why would you do that to yourself?" (I need to point out that I don't think the movie I saw in college was bad, just deeply disturbing-which, since it stuck with me all these years, probably means it's a very good movie).

For awhile we were both confused as to what movie the other had seen. Then, somewhere else, I saw the correct title of the movie that had haunted me since college. The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover was that movie. Until recently, you couldn't even rent a DVD of it. Now it's available on some VOD services.

Because of all this, Juan and Lee decided to cover the two movies I had confused. Surprisingly, they found some common themes.

MYMHM136a - Horrors of War Double Feature

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:42:17 -0800

Okay, so these two movies don't have a LOT in common. One is a fictionalized examination of how easily a movement like Fascism can take hold and one is an animated documentary following one soldier's attempts to remember what happened during a war.

But both do show, in totally different ways, the horrors of war.

Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true.

MYMHM135a - Indie Dramas (NOT COMEDIES) Double Feature!

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:36:28 -0800

When we picked these two films to cover, most of the awards shows had not aired. Now just a couple of weeks later Christopher Plummer has now won a Critics Choice award and a Golden Globe for his performance inBeginners.

We want to congratulate him and concur. His performance is brilliant andBeginners is a terrific film. We paired it with another wonderful indie drama,Terri, starring the always fun-to-watch John C Reilly.

MYMHM134a - Unwelcome Visitor Double Feature!

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:58:41 -0800

Don't you hate it when a total stranger moves into your house and starts teaching you life lessons? Or when your somewhat adorable nephew shows up out of the blue and begs you for advice on how to pick up women?

What's that? Neither of those circumstances has EVER happened to you? Hmm. Well, then you should check out this week's episode on "Hesher" and "Roger Dodger." Then you'll know what to do when it DOES happen.

MYMHM133a: Sunrise Sunset Double Feature!

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:21:00 -0800

We FINALLY listened...

These are terrific movies, you said. Why haven't you covered these two terric gems, you asked. Well, we finally heard and listened. Though neither of these movies were big smashes at the box office, they have developed a strong following. We decided to check out why and instantly figured it out. Now it's our turn to spread the love. Whether you are fans of the movies or will (hopefully) soon be, check out our reviews of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

** Spoiler Alert ** some details of the ending of Before Sunrise are discussed in our review of Before Sunset, so if you haven't seen it, pause the epside before we jump to the sequel and go watch the movie before finishing the episode.

MYMHM132a - New Years Double Feature with British Aliens

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:39:59 -0800

What's better than two movies about aliens? Two BRITISH movies about aliens, of course. Us being us, we couldn't go mainstream for movies about aliens, so we traveled across the pond (well, not really, but we checked out British films) for these two gems.

Attack the Block takes on the genre in what should be a ridiculously silly film, but, being British, makes it a genuinely good film.

Alien Autopsy is a mockumentary starring Ant and Dec supposedlyAlien Autopsy "footage" that made the rounds in the 90's.

MYMHM131a: Happy Holidays from MYMHM and 'Fright Night'

Happy Holidays from MYMHM!

In honor of the most wonderful time of the year, we are covering both the 1985 AND the 2011 versions of Fright Night. And yes, we know it's not Halloween. We are hoping to give the 2011 Fright Night a little holiday magic. This movie ROCKS and it did not do well in the theatres for some bizarre reason. We're hoping to spread a little love for it and make you all go buy it. :)

MYMHM130a - Soccer! 'The Damned United'

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:38:47 -0800

Can you think of a GREAT Soccer movie that people missed? (No one missed Bend it Like Beckham).

Well we could only think of one, The Damned United, starring the brilliant Michael Sheen and many other brilliant actors.

It captures one of the true stories of English Football and does it in a terrific, somewhat non-linear way. And, yes, even Lee (who thinks Soccer is boring) ended up really liking it...but being Lee, he did have to be snarky about it. Check out the review below!

Heeee's Baaack! Way back in Episode 12 (That's right, more than 100 episodes ago) our pal, actor/filmmaker Yuri Lowenthal, talked with us about the terrifying Spanish film 'REC'. In that episode he made a promise NOT to watch 'REC 2' until he could watch it with both of us. Well, we FINALLY worked out our schedules and checked it out.

MYMHM128a - Hometown Double Feature! New Mexico!

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 08:33:54 -0800

You may or may not know that all of us here at MYMHM are from New Mexico (which IS a state in the union for those of you who weren't totally sure).

So this week we thought we'd bring you a couple of films that were filmed AND take place in our home state!

The first is older and ...less flattering about NM. The second is newer and heartwarming. Both are terrific films.

MYMHM126v - East Meets West Double Feature!

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 08:23:27 -0800

Annnnd we're back on track with themes!

This week it's East meets West in two really fun capers.

In 'Bunraku' Josh Hartnett is a mysterious drifter who wants to kill Ron Perlman (sold you already, didn't we?).

In ' The Good, the Bad, the Weird,' we follow three men (guess what they are named?), two of which want a treasure map and one who is pursuing both of them.

Check out our reviews of these two films!

MYMHM125a - Random Drama Double Feature!

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:13:07 -0800

Okay, so we admit it. Neither of these films really has anything to do with the other (other than they both qualify as 'Dramas'), but they were both so terrific, we just had to cover them.

Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald teach us about the world (by being adorable!) in 'The Girl in the Cafe,' and we learn what MIGHT have happened to Butch Cassidy in 'Blackthorn.'

MYMHM120a - Carlos Alazraqui drops by with "A Thousand Clowns"

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:14:30 -0700

We haven't done a guest episode in a while, so it's our pleasure to share with you a great selection from none other than Mr. Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911, Fairly Odd Parents, Rocko's Modern Life)!

He was kind enough to drop by with the CLASSIC comedy "A Thousand Clowns", and we had a blast talking about the film!

Unfortunately, because we're ultra lame, a hard drive failure tanked most of the episode we shot, so please pardon the fact that most of the episode is audio. We have included video from the film we're discussing, so there is some stuff to watch, but the commentary Carlos provides on the film is certainly worth a listen!

Enjoy!

MYMHM119v - Juan's AWESOME Double Feature!

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:56:08 -0700

It's been two whole weeks since Juan got to have a say in the flicks we covered! The wait has been tortuous for him.

Now it's all him, baby!

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:44:26 -0700

Since Lee got to pick the movies last week, Producer Marie decided that it was high time that a couple of her films got reviewed. This week's films have a LOT in common: they are both true stories, both great examples of British cinema, and both were pretty alarming to us .... UNTIL we actually sat down to watch them.

And we actually liked them (don't tell Marie).

Nope.

We definitely wouldn't have gotten to episode 115 without suggestions from you guys and we figured it has been way too long since we've covered some fan requests.

BUT - there were so many great suggestions, that we couldn't decide on just two films, so for the next TWO episodes, we are covering a total of FOUR fan requests.

Starting out we have two gems for you, 'Even the Rain,' a political drama, and 'Enter the Void', an...experimental arthouse film.

It's a segment of cinema we feel has been woefully under-represented here on MYMHM, so we'll take this time to rectify that!

Every week. Without fail. A new episode drops here at MYMHM, and now it's time to return to Rian Johnson.

He's an exciting director for us to discuss, as he is developing a reputation for putting fresh spins on established genres. He started by putting a hard hitting crime noir in high school, and His time travel film "Looper" (currently in production) has been garnering some buzz lately, so it's time to take a look at Brothers Bloom, a playful and whimsical twist on the caper film.

All of this...

And one of the happiest days for our friendship was finding out that we both love the film "Punch-Drunk Love" after thinking the other didn't like it.

Beautiful...

MYMHM86a - Art School Confidential

Thu, 30 Dec 2010 12:01:53 -0800

Wrapping up the year!

To wrap up 2010, we wanted to cover something kinda silly.

"Art School Confidential" is one of those films that hit pretty close to home, as all of us here at MYMHM studied SOME kind of art in college, be it theatre, music, dance, film, or graphic design, we ALL identified with the satire presented here.

So goodbye 2010, hello 2011, and let's take a look at Art School Confidential!

MYMHM85a - The Shop Around The Corner

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:35:00 -0800

This week we review a WONDERFUL film that takes place during Christmas.

It stars a very young Jimmy Stewart, and is full of LIFE.

Do you know which film it is?

Nope, it's not that one...

MYMHM84a - Mary and Max

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:29:00 -0800

Not only do we return to animation, but this is the first time we've ever covered claymation on MYMHM!

This Australian gem is funny, heart-wrenchingly sweet, and features a small but fantastic voice cast, with INCREDIBLE cinematography.

That's enough typing on my part, just watch the review!

MYMHM83a - Goodbye Solo

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:22:00 -0800

We toss around words like "gem" quite often on the show, but this film is so charming in its subtle indie ways, it may just redefine the term "gem", elevating it to heretofore unseen heights of cinema description glory.

Hyperbole aside, we're smitten with this film, and with good reason. It's a slice of utter fantastic.

Now let's take a look at why...

MYMHM82a - Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:14:00 -0800

Take a seat and we'll tell you a tale of one of the most divisive movies ever made.

In a delightfully self-aware manner, 'Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story' is a mockumentary about a rag-tag group of indie film makers attempting to adapt a book which everyone around them claims is unadaptable.

You'll either love it, or hate it, but we loved it, so you have to at least watch our review of it.

So there.

MYMHM81a - Dogville

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 13:04:00 -0800

Yup.

At the end of our review of 'The Five Obstructions' we half-jokingly put a one year moratorium on Von Trier films. We didn't know at the time if we would even still be doing the show (in a way weaseling out of even needing to re-visit this auteur).

In a way, coming back to review another Von Trier film is a testament to our little review webseries.

The fact that this review lines up with Thanksgiving is just a cruel irony...

MYMHM80a - Wristcutters

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:10:00 -0800

It's been a while since we've covered a romance, but we couldn't just get to the sappy without some quirky.

So how about this, let's take a look at the guy from 'Almost Famous' and the gal from 'A Knight's Tale' meeting each other in a special purgatory designed for those who commit suicide.

Odd enough for you? No?

Ok, let's throw in Tom Waits.

Yeah. There we go...

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 12:10:00 -0800

Tara Platt RETURNS!!!

You may remember her spending some time with us on our review of The Impostors. During that review she was shocked and dismayed that neither of us had seen 'Big Night', so when the time came for us to review this Stanley Tucci gem, we had to have her back on to embarrass us some more.

We're just glad she's still returning our phone calls...

Wed, 03 Nov 2010 12:57:00 -0700

Man.

After a MONTH of horror films, it's nice to get back to some good old fashion crime action.

We can think of few better ways to celebrate some gun play than "The Way of the Gun".

Great stunts, great cast, passable story, and this marks our second film with Taye Diggs and his impossible smile.

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 12:32:00 -0700

This is our third entry in the Freaky Four Halloween Hoe Down MONTH of horror movie reviews, and it's the first time we've ever re-visited a film.

It's just that damn good.

This my friends is THE quintessential Halloween film. Nothing screams, bleeds, oozes, or stands for Halloween MORE than 'Trick 'r Treat'.

And it never got theatrical distribution...

MYMHM74a - Repo The Genetic Opera

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:25:00 -0700

We're not huge fans of musicals here, but opera is so much more cultured...

This SURE to be cult classic TANKED at the box office, but is a perfectly appropriate film to kick off our month of Halloween reviews, or as Lee calls it "The Freaky Four Halloween Hoedown".

This movie features an improbable cast, brought together by the producers of SAW, and is no stranger to controversy featuring almost exactly the same plot as the Jude Law 'Repo Men' (which was released two years after Repo!).

It's also one of the few times we've ever been divided on the show, so lets see who liked it and who didn't...

Buy "Repo! The Genetic Opera" on DVD, Blu-ray, or on Amazon VOD!

MYMHM73a - Matewan

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:56:00 -0700

Talk about a movie that's TOTALLY off the grid...

Lee brought this up. I had NEVER heard of it, but the film follows the true historical story of the unionization of a West Virginia mining town in 1920.

With an incredible cast and fantastic cinematography, why hasn't this movie been seen more?

Shop for 'Matewan' on the Amazon Marketplace .

MYMHM72a - The Dinner Game

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:40:46 -0700

Don't forget to check out http://MYMHM.tv to see our new merchandise store, and to find more info on our GoDaddy promotions!

We talk about remakes A LOT on the show, so this week it was time to put our money where our mouthes are.

Since "Dinner for Schmucks" was recently out in theaters, and there wasn't really a lot of discussion about it being a remake, we decided it was our duty to cover the film that inspired it.

Our job was made all the easier by the fact that "The Dinner Game" is a French comedy classic...

Buy "The Dinner Game" on DVD and Blu-Ray !

MYMHM71a - Badlands

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 10:15:05 -0700

If you had to pick your favorite Terrence Malick film starring Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, and Warren Oates which would you pick?

That's right! You'd pick 'Badlands'!

This Bonnie and Clyde style crime romance really took us by surprise, and we're hoping it's one you like, if you like films like 'True Romance' that is.

Also, this is probably the least creepy Sissy Spacek character you'll ever see...

Buy 'Badlands' on DVD!

MYMHM70a - Swimming Pool

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:44:00 -0700

Come on in! The water's fine!

This is a film that Juan's been trying to cover on the show since the beginning.

A French produced, sly, psychological thriller about a novelist, Juan couldn't convince Lee to check it out until he said one word.

Boobs.

The nice thing is that along with the boobs you really do get some fantastic story telling and heaps of drama. Let's see if Lee liked the scenes without boobs...

Buy 'Swimming Pool' on DVD!

MYMHM69a - They Came Back

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:19:00 -0700

Episode SIXTY-NINE DUDE!

We almost thought about covering Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure just for kicks, but instead decided to give you the NEXT BEST THING!

Existential commentary in the guise of a French zombie movie! Yeah!

Ever since we reviewed Pontypool , we've been on the lookout for even STRANGER zombie flicks, and I think we've FINALLY found one!

So sit back, relax, and try not to let the atmosphere freak you out TOO much...

Buy 'They Came Back' on DVD!

MYMHM68a - Sunshine

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:25:00 -0700

Space travel science fiction can be tricky to pull off.

Make the science too realisitic, and it can make for a really dull story. Make the story too dramatic, and you can have real suspension of disbelief issues.

Cillian Murphy leads a terrific cast on a mission from the Earth to the Sun. Will Calamity ensue?

Buy 'Sunshine' on DVD, Blu-Ray, or watch it on Amazon VOD!

MYMHM67a - Renaissance

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:14:00 -0700

You might not know Darren, but he's been a tremendous supporter of MYMHM, having suggested many films (even evangelizing Battle Royale which we reviewed last week).

When he suggested reviewing a CG animated, Blade Runner style noir, featuring the voice talents of Daniel Craig, we thought "Why not have him on to chat with us". Then we thought "I could really go for a cheese burger...", but then after that we were back to thinking about the movie again.

Please join us for a chat with a really close friend (and another film fanatic), as we talk about a super stylized, animated, crime drama!

Buy 'Renaissance' on DVD, Blu-Ray, or Rent it on Amazon VOD!

MYMHM66a - Battle Royale

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:35:00 -0700

Yup.

It really speaks to the level of awesome in our audience that this is quite possibly the most requested film we've ever had. To all those that have asked us to cover this film we say "Thank You" and "WHAT THE EFFING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE‽‽‽"... but like in a good way... Cuz this movie is kinda rad...

See THIS is what you get when a movie is described as being one of Tarantino's faves, and the major plot point you find on the back of the box synopsis is that a WHOLE lotta Japanese school children are going to die... in really violent ways...

We present to you (because a LOT of you asked for it) BATTLE ROYALE!

MYMHM65a - Black Dynamite

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:26:00 -0700

DYN-O-MITE!

Why didn't this film get any theatrical distribution?

Who knew Michael Jai White could be funny?

This film was lovingly described to me as a "Shaun of the Dead" style satire of classic blaxploition films.

Let's see how that description holds up...

Buy 'Black Dynamite' on DVD, Blu-Ray, or Video on Demand.

MYMHM64a - Rififi

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:18:05 -0700

Having now covered a couple noir flicks , we thought it was time to cover not only a fantastic noir, but the grand-daddy of ALL heist films.

This 1956 crime drama was banned in many countries because the film's caper was deemed too realistic, and there even was a copycat crime committed after the film's release.

Let's see how well this film has aged...

Buy the 'Rififi - Criterion Collection' on DVD!

MYMHM63a - Glengarry Glen Ross

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:41:00 -0700

The coffee is for closers...

This film totally belongs in the list of "everyone knows about, but not a lot of people have actually watched it" movies.

With a tight story, noir feel, and incredible cast it surprising this film didn't make a bigger splash...

MYMHM58a - Timecrimes

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:01:37 -0700

***Note to subscribers of our audio channel. We've finally figured out what our issue was with this rss feed, and will be replacing missing episodes over time. Thank you for your patience***

Yup.

The results from our first ever movie poll are in, and the winner is Timecrimes!

An independent Spanish film about a crime that happens during time travel, um ... the title of the film does a pretty good job of describing what the film is about actually...

Let's take a look at why YOU picked it, and why it's slated for an American remake next year with Tom Cruise...

Buy 'Timecrimes' on DVD!

Man. I'm REALLY glad you guys didn't pick 'Trancers'...

mymhm46a - The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 20:45:27 -0700

I tried to think of a good pun for the title of this post, but the movie title is already soooooo long...

It's CLASSIC TIME!

Taking it back all the way to 1956, and we managed to still talk about a film in COLOR! So THERE!

This film is notable for featuring Gregory Peck at the top of his game, and is one of the first films to really tackle the issue of soldiers re-entering the work force and PTSD .

mymhm45a - This Is England

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 20:33:52 -0700

HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!!!

We REALLY should have checked our schedule better, as it just sort of happened that the movie we're talking about on this Irish holiday is 'This is England'.

There's something inherantly wrong about that...

Anywho, at least it still takes place in the UK, so we got kinda close (at least it's not some Asian horror flick or something).

Plus this movie is a little slice of fantastic!

Buy 'This is England' on DVD!

MYMHM44a - 'Big Trouble'

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:45:07 -0800

But NOT in Little China...

I mean COME ON! Who DOESN'T love Dave Barry? That's what I thought, NOBODY! So, why wouldn't you watch a movie adaptation of his 1999 comedy crime classic?

When you consider it's directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and has an incredible 'Get Shorty'-ish cast, you kind of owe it to yourself to check out this often overlooked gem.

Buy 'Big Trouble' on DVD!

And of course, a special MYMHM Shout Out of Honor to friend and fan of the show Bryan Hoerber, who protects his tweets on twitter, or I'd tell you to follow him. He does however run a blog that you can harrass him at KI6ILS.com !

MYMHM43a - Foreign Action Double Feature

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:13:00 -0800

It's a DOUBLE MOVIE EPISODE!

After covering Equilibrium, we wanted to find some more fun, over the top action, and you can't really do better than 'District B13' and 'Chocolate'.

Even though one movie is from France and the other is from Thailand, they both feature crazy Parkour stunts and kickboxing. I guess kickboxing is the new Kung Fu...

Buy 'District B13' on Blu-ray!

MYMHM42a - Pontypool

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:06:33 -0800

So after reviewing Word Wars last week, we totally had words on the brain. What better to follow up a documentary on Scrabble than to jump in to a FREAKING WEIRD movie about word zombies?

Canadians come up with the oddest zombie flicks, so sit back and watch what you say, the "virus" is spread through understanding...

Buy 'Pontypool' on DVD!

Special thanks to fans Dale Lloyd and @Alexlyons for recommending this flick!

MYMHM41a - Word Wars

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:02:18 -0800

It's Documentary time!

Continuing our tradition of documentaries featuring people doing mundane things (like playing Donkey Kong) EXCEPTIONALLY well, we're proud to present 'Word Wars'!

This 2004 docu-drama about tournament Scrabble players got no attention outside of festivals, but is now READILY available to stream online, which is pretty exciting for these low budget gems.

Anyone got a good anagram for "dubious award"?

Buy 'Word Wars' on DVD!

MYMHM40a - Moon

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:56:55 -0800

Now normally I'd use this space to give some witty teaser as to what is in this week's episode, but THIS week I would like to express my extreme disappointment that Sam Rockwell did not receive a nomination for his work in this film. It's rare that we get to see a performer of this caliber carry a movie entirely on his or her own, and Rockwell certainly rises to the occasion. This man is LONG overdue for an Academy Award nomination.

Now with that out of the, let's dig into the 2009 Science Fiction masterpiece 'Moon'!

MYMHM39a - Melvin Goes To Dinner

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:31:51 -0800

TOTALLY RAD!

Jeff Cannata was hugely supportive of our show in it's first few episodes (plus giving us our first big Twitter push). We couldn't think of a better way to thank him than to have him join us for a film he loves!

It just makes our job THAT much easier when he brings 'Melvin Goes to Dinner'. This indie sweetheart came out of the LA theater scene, and features an INCREDIBLE cast of leads and cameos. Bob Odenkirk has directed a comic and intimate look at strangers baring their souls.

It really is one of those films we're proud to discuss, as it's a shame more people haven't seen it.

We must extend MAJOR thanks to Jeff, not only for bringing this great film to our attention, but for all the support he's given us. You can catch Jeff every Tuesday as one of the hosts of The Totally Rad Show on Revision3.com, and you can also keep up with his other exploits on his personal (award winning) site JeffCannata.com .

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:22:00 -0800

So we kinda ragged on Christian Bale in our review of Run Lola Run, so to make it up to him (because I'm sure he was very upset about it) we took a look through his catalog to find a movie to talk about.

We also realized that we'd yet to cover a guilty pleasure over the top action flick.

Kismet.

This 2002 flick was the first in a series of films for Bale which would make him a bankable action star, and he doesn't even need to use his Batman voice! Let's take a look at 'Equilibrium'!

Buy 'Equilibrium' on Blu-ray!

MYMHM37v - 'Shadow Of The Vampire'

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:37:03 -0800

See I like it better when vampires are apex predators not hopeless romantics... Just sayin...

Shadow of the Vampire is an incredibly fun "what if" movie that does a great job of playing with history. Loosely chronicling the events surrounding the filming of the 1922 horror classic 'Nosferatu', Shadow asks "What if the guy playing the vampire REALLY WAS a vampire?" What results is a really touching examination of old versus new, and the creation of one of the most prima-donna actors in the history of cinema.

Buy 'Shadow of the Vampire' on DVD!

We also have to extend a huge thanks to friend and fan Donna D. for suggesting this remarkable film, and keep an eye out for an MYMHM supplemental where we'll take a look at the original Nosferatu!

MYMHM36v - 'Run Lola Run'

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:21:00 -0800

It's 90s time!

This film helped a whole generation of American film fans find foreign films. This Tykwer classic is an incredible mixed media, hyper kinetic, feast for the eyes, with a story that plays with time in an interesting way.

It's a near perfect example of what films from the 1990's looked like. Check it out!

Also a huge thank you to fan of the show Nicolas Alanou for suggesting we cover a Tykwer movie!

MYMHM35v - 'Noises Off'

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:51:00 -0800

HAPPY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN!

We realized that we wrapped 2009 with a movie titled "hate", and thought we'd start 2010 off on a better note. We could think of few films more joyous than 'Noises Off'.

This romp features an incredible cast, fantastic editing, and some of the best gags seen on screen since 'Airplane'. With Juan, Marie, and Lee having worked in theatre, this film brings out some great memories (some funny, some terrifying), and with Dutch never having done any theatre, she was able to laugh with (and at) us the whole time.

Buy 'Noises Off' on DVD!

34 - La Haine

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:19:11 -0800

Our last episode of THE DECADE!

This movie comes to us as a fan request, and we're glad it did.

This French film ushered in a new era of cinema realism, and it's quite possibly one that we NEVER would've found we're it not for Jodie Foster and The Criterion Collection...

Buy 'La Haine' (Criterion Collection) on DVD!

33 - Better Off Dead

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:12:22 -0800

We're cheating again!

Just like for our Thanksgiving episode, our holiday episode only vaguely has anything to do with the holiday we're celebrating, though it does include one of the funniest gift giving sequences we've ever seen.

Cult fave 'Better Off Dead' comes from an era of innocent, silly, satirical film making that we just can't generate any more. Super wacky, but it doesn't take the audience's intelligence for granted. Not to mention almost every line in the film is quotable to some degree, and the premise has been ripped off for countless parodies (even a South Park episode).

I guess all this accolade makes it even more tragic that John Cusack reviles this film, even though it's one of the films that helped put him on the map. What's that you say? Controversy?

Well watch on:

MYMHM32a - Dog Fight

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:25:10 -0800

What's this I see?

Another guest episode?

With Mitchell FREAKING Whitfield!

That's right, Mitchell Whitfield (My Cousin Vinny, TMNT) joins us to talk about this River Phoenix, Lili Taylor gem, a charming film that's a little impossible to describe. Vietnam era comedy/drama/romance, oh and the action takes place almost entirely over one day. PITCH THAT FILM!

Come join us as we speak with Mitchell about his experiences working on the film, going to boot camp, and the public and critical reaction to the film.

MYMHM31a - The Sports Spectacular

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:08:02 -0800

OK. So it should really be called the "MYMHM American Football Movie Spectacular", as all three movies are about American Football, but really we're just overcompensating for the fact that we've NEVER covered a sports movie here on Movies You May Have Missed.

There are TONS of movies we wanted to discuss, but the three here in this episode help qualify why we do this show. 'The Longest Yard' helped define what sports movies could be, and without it many other sports movies wouldn't have been attempted. 'Wildcats' is an often overlooked gem of a comedy, and 'Necessary Roughness' is our obligatory screwball comedy guilty pleasure.

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:27:22 -0800

Well lookee here!

The big 3-0, and to celebrate, Lee's roommate Tuck joins us to talk about this Fred Zinneman classic!

Apparently this film was mandatory viewing for one of Tuck's ethics classes, but don't let that scare you away. 'A Man For All Seasons' is a smart, funny, moving look at the reign of Henry the VIII, from the perspective of Thomas More.

Featuring an incredible cast, and winning SIX Oscars in 1966, let's see if Tuck can defend WHY you should watch this "ethical" movie...

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:54:07 -0800

Yup! It's our first holiday themed episode, and rather than cheat and go straight to a Christmas movie, we've dug up a GREAT guilty pleasure flick for Turkey Day.

This is quite possibly the worst reviewed movie we've ever discussed, ranking only 19% over at Rotten Tomatoes, and we love every minute of it! See, this is a near perfect "after turkey coma" flick, and the combination of Ed O'Neill and Ethan Embry (Randall) hamming up a John Hughes road trip script, should provide you PLENTY of yuks before the tryptophan lays you out!

Shop for 'Dutch' in the Amazon Market Place!

MYMHM28a - The Man Who Would Be King

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:53:11 -0800

We've been a little short on classic adventure movies here at MYMHM, so we thought we'd make up for it with a doozy!

Michael Caine? Check!
Sean Connery? Check!
Christopher Plummer? Check!
Screenplay adapted from a Rudyard Kipling story? Hells yeah!

Put it all together and you get the 1975, AFI required viewing , adventure CLASSIC, 'The Man Who Would Be King'!

Booyah!

What can we say? We here at Movies You May Have Missed really like J.D. Salinger. So much so, that this film's blatant homage to Catcher in the Rye kinda gave us the warm fuzzies.

Igby Goes Down features an incredible cast (with some really unexpected break out performances), great city cinemetography, and a charming story of a wandering youth.

This is our half-year anniversary, and what better movie to review than the winner of our Last Exit to Nowhere giveaway @charlesyi! His winning selection was 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'.

In addition to this being 6 months, a fan selection, and a contest winning entry, it's also our first documentary. KoK follows competetive Donky Kong players as they try to break a high score set TWENTY years before.

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:07:29 -0800

It's that time of year! Getting dark sooner, there's a little chill in the air. Kids are in a perpetual state of sugar-buzz, and there's a noticable spike in the number of practical jokes.

It's Halloween!

'The Omen' is one of those films that is extremely well known, but interestingly enough is one few of our friends had actually seen. While very popular, it wasn't popular enough to be re-released in theaters (like 'The Exorcist'), but instead was remade in 2006 (ugh).

This is one of Juan's FAVORITE scary movies to show people who don't like scary movies. Smart, savvy, and with very little gore or violence, 'The Omen' is a refreshing alternative to blood soaked slashers.

MYMHM24a - 'The Impostors'

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:32:34 -0700

Guest episodes are so much fun, and we can think of few finer guests than the lovely Tara Platt . She's a true renaissance woman: on-camera/voice over actress, producer, and now author. She brought the movie this week, and it truly was an MYMHM.

This 1998 comedy, starring Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt plus featuring an incredible cast, was completely not on our radar, and pays homage to comedy classics like Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, and The Marx Brothers.

Here's what we thought:

MYMHM23a - 'The Station Agent'

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:14:51 -0700

Take a HILARIOUS ROMP through the world of THREE STRANGERS....

No wait I instantly HATE that movie. Instead take a look at this indie-comedy-drama, featuring three people dealing with loss, expectation and friendship. I think I like that better.

MYMHM22a - Get Lost 'In Bruges'

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:15:45 -0700

What happens when you take a fairly well respected playwrite, let him write and direct his script, and then cast Colin Farrel, Ralph Fienes, and Brendan Gleeson?

You get 'In Bruges' of course!

Martin McDonagh's sophmore film venture was lauded with praise last year including an Academy Awards nomination for Best Screenplay, a BAFTA win for Best Screenplay, and a Golden Globes win for Farrel.

This crime-drama/dark comedy is ridiculously charming and one we hope you wont miss.

We here at MYMHM also wanted to deliver a special shout-out to Twitter friend and fan @KGLucas, who suggested this film as part of our week 3 t-shirt contest, but we had already shot the episode posted above.

And speaking of t-shirts, this also marks THE LAST WEEK of our Last Exit To Nowhere t-shirt giveaway. Wanna a shot at the last shirt? Better watch the episode!

MYMHM21a - 'Let The Right One In'

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:19:33 -0700

And the hits just keep on coming!

So, just because this is our first NON-ZOMBIE horror flick, doesn't mean it's not still about the undead! Vampires are all the rage these days, and we're not above capitalizing on it too! Just don't expect any angst or romance here. 'Let The Right One In' is straight up CLASSIC horror, like old school Bram Stoker style... just set in the 1980's... and in Sweden...

You'll certainly want to watch this film before Matt Reeves remakes it ala [•REC]/Quarantine ...

20a - Have a Laugh with 'The King of Comedy'

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:18:53 -0700

EPISODE 20! The BIG TWO-ZERO!

Who would've thought we would've stuck with this for so long, and boy do we have a doosey of a movie for you this week! Scorsese! DeNiro! Lewis! Bernhardt?

This movie BOMBED at the box office, and it's really a shame. We haven't seen anything like this from De Niro since, Scorsese seems to avoid comedies now, Jerry Lewis is grounded and human, and this is the best thing Sandra Bernhardt has ever done... well ever.

This movie was ahead of its time, and pretty prescient when it comes to our obsession with celebrity.

Oh and it's funny as hell...
