Movie Moan - Streets Of Rant
Mon, January 21, 2013 This week's show has to go down on record as the most long winded we've ever done and there have been some doozies. But this week has seen both the end of UK high street DVD stores for good and confirmation that nobody, not even Criterion, gives a shit about decent supplemental features anymore.
Let the diatribe begin (accompanied by the soothing sounds of the score to 'Heaven's Gate'):
4:25 mins - Capt. Ed Hocken explains why you will never get to see the newest gem out of Sundance; 'Escape From Tomorrow'.
8:10 mins - Mr Gabe Toro, film critic for The Playlist & Jump Cut Junkies drops by to review 'The Last Stand'. It's not as good as 'Eraser' apparently.
16:15 mins - Gabe also blows the lid on the greatest secret Hollywood doesn't want you to know about - 'Triplets'.
19:15 mins - And Gabe rounds off his trilogy of awesome with his thoughts on 'Broken City', a film he would walk ten blocks to see (but no more than that).
27:40 mins - Jamie, Phil and Hocken all finally sit down to try and watch the Criterion release of 'Heaven's Gate' with varying degrees of success.
72:35 mins - With the seeming demise of HMV and Blockbuster in the UK, Phil asks why older people like his mother should be forced to adapt to an online only business model of renting films.

Fortunately I do have a video store where I live. Family Video and I do cherish it, Phil. :)
'Family Video'; it sounds like a 'where everybody knows your name' type of place. I envy you sir.
