Film Geek Central  

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.

  THE CINEMA OF COOL
  

  It's the cinema of cool this 4th of July weekend at Film Geek Central.
  
  
  
  
  First up, people who like it cool - literally. A bunch of prehistoric animals try to make us laugh before they go extinct in ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS. Wait, again with the prehistoric? What is it with this summer?
  
  
  
  
  Then, criminals don't come much cooler than Johnny Depp as John Dillinger. Michael Mann is no stranger to crime sagas what with HEAT, THIEF and the shows MIAMI VICE and CRIME STORY under his belt (we'll just forget that MIAMI VICE movie, okay?). With PUBLIC ENEMIES, he visits one of the most exhaustive manhunts in U.S. history. Christian Bale plays Dillinger's nemesis, Melvin Purvis. Tons of co-stars including Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff and Channing Tatum.
  
  
  
  
  Then, Larry David plays a neurotic and egotistical man who falls in love with a very young girl. If you've already guessed this is Woody Allen's newest, give yourself a treat. Evan Rachel Wood and Patricia Clarkson co-star in WHATEVER WORKS.
  
  
  
  
  Finally, we bring you Nazi zombies. Because the only thing worse than a zombie is a zombie with an elitist and genocidal ideology. This one comes from Denmark and has been getting the kind of buzz suggesting a new DEAD-ALIVE or EVIL DEAD II. We'll see.
  
  Plus, we'll cover news and the latest DVD releases - including 12 ROUNDS, STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI and TWO LOVERS.
  
  The whole thing goes down Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 PM Central.
  
  Hope to see you there, film geeks!
