Episode Four Show Thoughts - Goodbye, The Rescuers

Episode Four--Goodbye, The Rescuers--is our best show yet. We are getting more comfortable with the technique and process of putting a show together and it shows.

Thanks to all of our supporters and please keep spreading the word about the show.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
Joe loved it (his #2 of movie of 2008) and Ethan liked it a lot.
The Trailer:


Ethan mentioned that the groom in the film is played by Tunde Adebimpe and fronts a favorite band of his, TV on the Radio. Here's the video for their jam, Wolf Like Me:



RELIGULOUS
Both of the guys enjoyed the movie and felt it was very entertaining, but the review gets a little heated--no doubt fueled by the personal beliefs of The Movie Hour Duo. Can a critic leave his personal views at the door of the theater and truly be subjective? Should they? Ethan and Joe say no--the moviegoing experience is richer if you don't. And so are The Movie Hour conversations.
The Trailer:


POST OSCAR TELECAST TALK
Ethan and Joe agreed that the Oscars were better for having 5 presenters on stage for the acting awards and Ethan referenced Robert De Niro talking to Sean Penn. See that moment by clicking here.

Joe was critical of so many Oscar dance numbers. Hugh Jackman has a background in live theater and is a song and dance man in that life, but really...ANOTHER musical number. Here's one to enjoy:


LIVING ROOM FILM FESTIVAL: FILMS AS A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE

Tons of email this week (thanks so much and keep it coming). Because we left this week's LRFF so open to your interpretation, you interpreted it widely and we enjoyed that. Here were our picks.

Ethan's Picks:




Joe's Picks:


warning - adult language


Goodfellas, of course, being the film that caused Joe to say, "Goodbye, The Rescuers".


A THE MOVIE HOUR DVD Extra: The source of this comment is that The Rescuers was the first film Joe ever saw in the theater. 1977 - 5 years old.
