Come and board the viking longboat that is the Ol Leather Couch and sail off into a brutal world of stabbings, disembowelings and mist. From Denmark, we give you Valhalla Rising.
In Seen It, we confront our deeply buried resentment of the dregs of cinema. Woody Allen, The Coen Brothers and Steven Spielberg all get taken to task in “Seen It – Hate It”. Want to see Craig explode with rage? Just mention “Shia LaBeouf” and stand back.
We also talk about Gravity – a film we did not hate.
Craig, you need to make sure you’ve seen Happy Accidents.
Matt you mentioned that you didn’t like Natalie Portman in anything but Black Swan. That reminded me of her in The Professional – I haven’t seen that movie in a while but I do remember liking it a lot and that Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and a very young Natalie Portman were all great. If you haven’t seen it you definitely should.
I loved Craig’s reaction to Shia Laboof (Is that how you spell his last name?) because that is exactly how I get when I talk about Benedict Cumberbatch. He is my all time least favorite actor, and he is so over rated due to him being in the british tv series Sherlock. What about Johnny Lee Miller in Elementary? No one talks about him, and that show is one of my all time favorites!!!
I’ll tell you that in Denmark, this movie is considered one of the worst movies Mads Mikkelsen has ever starred in. If you want to watch a really good movie with him you should watch “The Green Butchers” or “Adam’s Appels”:)
I saw Gravity in 3D and all I could think was: “I wish I was watching this in 2D”.
