Episode 004: Love Actually
With Love in the title, the Cloud had her doubts; the Silver Lining was all over it.

This movie was selected not because it tied into anything currently in theatres (though with its combined cast, it probably does) but because we both love it, and came at it from different directions. Really, we just want more people to see it. Cheryl’s take: When Love Actually came out, it was one of those big movies that I avoided…

We might have been a bit punchy by the time we recorded this episode…

Summer is blockbuster season by definition. Movie goers generally want to get out of the heat, sit in an air conditioned theatre and park their brains at the door while things explode for a couple of hours. Bonus if there is a lightweight romance subplot and a few laughs. Armageddon offers all of that. Cheryl’s thoughts: Revisiting this movie,…

Cheryl’s thoughts: Having seen and not loved other Baz Lurhmann films, I…

You’ll notice some “great” movies missing from this list — such as Citizen Kane — and while there are many older movies I appreciate, I can’t watch them over and over like the ten here. These are movies I have seen multiple times and that I still love to watch; I’ve numbered them, but they are not necessarily in order:…

Sometimes the best part of a movie is the ending but when reviewing movies it’s not a good thing when you give that away. So, here, in no particular order and spoiler-free are seven movies that I think are better because of their endings: The Italian Job (1969) — Michael Caine leads a crew of Brits through the streets of…
