brucemiller — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:27:57 -0500

It's The Filmosophers Movie Talk Show, with Chris Busch & Bruce Miller. The Wachowski Brother's created one of our all-time fave films: THE MATRIX. So we've been anticipating their latest creation: SPEED RACER for many months. Currently only 35% of the reviews available on Rottentomatoes.com are positive. The consensus: "Overloaded with headache-inducing effects and without a coherent script." Ouch! Looks like SPEED RACER is no IRON MAN, which is held-over at the Co-Ed Theatre in Fairfield. There are now 178 reviews of IRON MAN on Rottentomatoes, 165 are positive. That's a whopping 93% approval rating for a comic book movie. Filmosopher's co-host Chris Busch will add his review Friday. He'll also tell us about the other film showing at the Co-Ed: the critically O.K.ed (84%) FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, a romantic and raunchy disaster read more »

It's the Filmosophers Movie Talk show, with co-hosts Chris Busch and Bruce Miller, where we give our filmosophies on the movies and have filmosophical discussions. Iron Man is opening "on the break" at the Co-Ed Theatre in Fairfield. That means it's officially the start of the summer movie season! Yes, it gets earlier every year, but that's a good thing- a great thing for movies fans. Superstar guest Big Al Green and Bruce- The Big B From St Louie- Miller will have reviews of Iron Man. This film is getting excellent buzz. There are currently 131 reviews for it at Rottontomatoes.com and 124 are thumbs up! A 95% approval rating with over 100 reviews is awesome for a comic book flick! Hear what the Filmosophers think of it Friday afternoon.

New release DVDs this week include The Golden Compass and Julian Schnabel's acclaimed The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. read more »

Welcome to March Madness, baby! It's college basketball's NCAA tounament- which means one of the Filmosophers hasn't been watching many movies. Thankfully, co-host Chris Busch has! Thanks to Chris, we've both seen Blade Runner - The Final Cut "Twenty-five years after the initial release of BLADE RUNNER, director
Ridley Scott uses archival footage to re-create his original vision for
the sci-fi classic. Based on a story by Philip K. Dick, the film is set
in Los Angeles in 2019."

We have reviews of the charming Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who, held over at the Co-Ed Theatre. Also opening in Fairfield, The Other Boleyn Girl.

The Filmosopher's DVD of the Week is Enchanted.
