Movie Moan - Swordplay, Dancing, Good Times!
Mon, May 13, 2013 You know you're in for all of the above when Mr Gabe Toro is in the Movie Moan house. The film critic for The Playlist and Jump Cut Junkies join us this week to provide that calm, measured randomness while Phil (who has a cold so excuse the nasalness you'll hear on the show) goes to town on 'Star Trek Into Darkness' in his first review.
And that's not even the ugliest fight on the show:-
4 mins - Gabe has just returned from 'Ex-Fest', the cult film festival showing titles that are still only available on VHS, if that. What wonders did he see?
13:35 mins - Phil provides the first, spoiler free review of 'Star Trek Into Frustration'.
40:25 mins - Jamie and Gabe try to help Phil decide whether or not to see 'The Great Gatsby' (and are no help at all).
54:55 mins - A very argument (yes, you heard it right) about Marvel Studios' pay practices, hiring cheap TV directors, and their fast food approach to producing films.
86 mins - Jamie and Phil do a little geeking out now that 'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' is official in production and hatch a plan to sneak on set and get lobotomized.

Bummer to hear STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS didn’t really work for you, Phil. I’ve been tempering my expectations since the early reviews started to surface, and at this point all I’m looking for is a fun action movie - I’ve given up hope for a movie that actually lives up to TREK’s rich legacy. Your comments regarding Bones (who’s also my favorite character) sent a dreadful chill down my spine…
On a more positive note, great discussion of what Marvel’s up to. I do tend to think that some people online have been complaining too much about the particulars of Marvel’s financial tendencies, but it is fascinating to mull over how the company does business.
