Tim Burton has brought Johnny Deep, his wife (Helena Bonham Carter), and Danny Elfman back to the theaters. Thus marking it the 8th time Johnny Depp and Tim Burton has worked together. Also, marking the idea that Tim Burton really needs a new box of tools for his art projects. We’ve seen Johnny Deep trying to be dark and creepy several times before. But it really has made me not care about Burton or any of his movies. Yes, I used to be Burton fanboy, but now I just feel angry. Sean Gandert and I talk about Tim Burton and debate whether somebody should take away his favorite “go-to” film favorites. Dan complains that he’s “made attracted” to a 15 year old and Kristin calls in (because Brian ruined this weeks recording) to give us her 2 cents on Dark Shadows. Also Russell calls in, and Brian runs the board. This is all in a days work of The Directors Cut!
This week we cover the The Avengers! Yes, it had the highest grossing opening weekend of all time with a whopping $200,000,000. So far they have greenlit a sequel (amongst sequels for other Marvel flicks, including the “rumored” Hulk). We also had tons of votes on our top ten list which was “Top Ten Most Quotable Movies” which had more than 90 votes by you guys! So thanks! Sorry about the website not getting updated as often as we’d like. It really hurts our listenership and we know it sucks for you guys. But Dan really hasn’t had the time or availability to do it. Also, it’s really not an appealing job, so getting a volunteer is almost null and void. So if you’d like to volunteer to update the website, that would be amazing, and I know thousands of other fellow listeners would appreciate it. And if we start getting more money for the show, this could be a paying gig too. But beside that, hopefully you enjoy the show!
This week we review “The Five-Year Engagement” and “The Raven”. Though we send Russell and his daughter to “The Pirates: Band of Misfits”. We get a little bit of everything!
This week Dan and Kristin review “The Lucky One” and “Chimpanzee”. We let you know whether you should see them in Theatres, Wait til DVD, or Forget About Them!
TDCRS reviews Wrath of the Titans, Mirror Mirror and Jeff Who Lives at Home. So we’ve had a harddrive meltdown recently and we lost plenty of our shows between November and now. I guess it teaches me I shouldn’t be an idiot and upload shows a little quicker. But if anyone and I mean anyone wants to do the job for me, I’d be forever grateful and send you free stuff. My really busy schedule just doesn’t make it easy to do our show website. But besides my lack of focus. This week we reviw Wrath of the Titans, Mirror Mirror and Jeff Who Lives at Home. As you can tell during this episode, I’m really really worn out and need to wake up a bit. But you’ll get some insight on my “Snow White Fetish”. So enjoy… if you can and subscribe by clicking here. http://feeds.feedburner.com/directorscutradio
This week on The Directors Cut, Kristin Elliott is out of town, and filling in, is the beautiful (or hideous) Kat Cox. We review John Carter and find out if this 100 year old movie was worth the wait. Also our top ten list is “Top Ten Movies from Mars”. We discussed Bill and Ted, and a potential “journey” sequel. Best of all, we had Troy Duffy call into our show and discuss a potential tv show, movie, and much more!
Note: The Troy Duffy interview is about 45 minutes in. Just after Dans breakdown about crappy radio.
This week we have reviewed Wanderlust and Gone. Wanderlust is the story of Jennifer Annison and Paul Rudd down on their New York lifestyle luck and find themselves joining a hippy commune. They have a difficult time deciding whether to adapt to their new lifestyle or look at it as a temporary condition. Because there were a hint of nudity in the trailer, but very little quality nudity in the movie, we decided our top ten list is top ten movies that should be should be naked. Also during the show Sean Gandert gives us a elitist corner pick of the week that is almost prophetic in nature.
