Theater 42

This week we've got a couple horror movies, two historical pieces (sort of), and a movie about teens with telekinetic powers. Do good movies need to have happy endings? We also report back on some of our recent picks, now that we've had a chance to see them in the theater. Television is My Best Friend The Innkeepers W.E. The King's Speech The Woman in Black Perfectly Happy, Even Without Happy Endings - New York Times The Hunger Games Paramount100 iPad App Our Picks for February 3, 2012 Brad: Chronicle Jason: Big Miracle

This week we've got movies from an actress who hates movies, an actor who can't show emotion (don't hold Avatar against him), and someone who may or may not be a tough guy. We also have a bit of a blow up about a musical from the past, Moulin Rouge. One For the Money Katherine Heigl Sam Worthington Inside Man Albert Nobbs The Grey Moulin Rouge on Netflix or Amazon Amuse at the Online Etymology Dictionary The Sound of Music Singin' in the Rain The Prince of Egypt Our Picks for January 27, 2012 Brad: We Need to Talk About Kevin Jason: Man on a Ledge

There are a couple good movies this week we're looking forward to. Somehow we end up talking about books again.

Jason can't read. Brad's a giant nerd. Poor, poor Tom Cruise & Cameron Crowe. Who's got an accurate list of new releases? Sometimes you need to just let some movies wash over you. Money! When Brad watches a trailer, he doesn't like feeling like he's just seen the entire movie. Piracy is not stealing. IMDb Coming Soon Yahoo!

We had Skype issues. Sorry. Finally talk about some Christmas movies. Brad eats three pumpkin pies every year. "I was going more for Valentine's Day stuff which was going to make me want to jab myself in the eye with a fork." What is Jason Lee thinking? "I'm really sorry that this whole franchise is now ruining your entire childhood." Sherlock Holmes!

Brad and Jason lament the fact that there's no holiday celebrating time travel. It's still too early to talk about Christmas movies. "Don't question me on my Thor lore, dude." Hollywood would stop making crappy movies if the American public stopped watching them. Leonardo DiCaprio should maybe stick to simpler roles. Jason likes movies with bad endings.

Brad and Jason are pretty disappointed in this week's selection. Brad reports on Twilight. A bad Nicholas Sparks movie doesn't mean it's actually good. "I don't need to watch anybody else's life go out of control." Brad threatens Jason with bodily harm. Jason explains what a drive-in movie theater is. They were duped by IMDb.

The family that watches movies together, stays together. Babies can be good excuses for skipping dumb movies. Jason believes in Santa Claus. "How can you not like a movie where his watch is a character." Arthur Christmas My Week with Marilyn A Dangerous Method Contact Sacha Baron Cohen Talladega Nights Stranger Than Fiction Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Everything Must Go Land of the Lost Hollywood's Most Overpaid Stars The Muppets Our Picks for November 23, 2011 Brad: The Artist Jason: Hugo

Is going to the movie theater actually a fun experience? Jason pays money for concessions but Brad sneaks his in (unless it's beer). Vampires & werewolves make for fantastic stories, but not always. Economics Of The Movie Theater – Where The Money Goes And Why It Costs Us So Much The Lie Happy Feet Two Top Gun Sideways Election Michael Ontkean Twin Peaks Dreamgirls Gods and Monsters Our Picks for November 18, 2011 Brad: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 Jason: The Descendants

Books vs. movies. "I agree with you that watching The Fountain was like an exercise in seeing how confused and upset I could make myself." Jason admits to having a crush on Colin Farrell. Brad's worried about Adam Sandler. Our contest winner from last week is Chase Clemons! Chase correctly identified "The greater good" from one of my all-time favorites, Hot Fuzz.
