Show Notes

Every week, Scott Davis and Austin Kennedy check out the latest, but not always the greatest films in the multiplexes. Everything from the biggest blockbusters, to the smallest indie films to the latest foreign films. Scott and Austin are film geeks by birth, keeping a critical eye on things, but bringing a lot of humor and energy to the proceedings as well. They don't always agree, but it's always entertaining.

  HANNAH MONTANA KILLED BEN AFFLECK'S MISTRESS
  

   

  

  Hannah Montana killed Ben Affleck's mistress. Fortunately, Seth Rogen was on the case. With his Dragonballs.
  Great show for you this week with plenty to get under our skin.
  

   
  

  
  

  We've got four new reviews this time out, starting with STATE OF PLAY, a return to the paranoid conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s. It stars Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Rachel MacAdams and is directed by LAST KING OF SCOTLAND's Kevin Macdonald.
   
  

  

   
  

  The moment you've all been waiting for - HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE! You all know Hannah Montana, she's the rock star who doesn't rock. The tween corporate music franchise makes its way to the big screen. This one was Scott's Least Awaited Film of 2009 (waaay back in Episode 0), so it should be interesting.
   
  

  
   
  

  If two things will define film circa 2009, they will be Seth Rogen and mall cops. With OBSERVE AND REPORT, they combine the two as Rogen plays a delusional mall cop who uses a hunt for a flasher to springboard himself into legendary status. This one comes from the director of THE FOOT FIST WAY, which is developing quite a cult following on DVD.
   
  

  
   
  

  While the adolescent girls were supposed to take in HANNAH MONTANA, the boys were supposed to take in DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION. Based on the long-running anime series (or several series, if you wish), this one stars Chow Yun-Fat and Justin Chadwick in a film about a group of people brought together to defeat an alien menace.
  On DVD, we take a look at THE READER and THE SPIRIT.
