2 Guys and a Film

It’s the long-awaited, much-anticipated Episode #16! This week, we review the latest film from director Clint Eastwood, Flags of Our Fathers. The film focuses on the lves of the six men who raised the famous flag at The Battle of Iwo Jima and stars Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford and Adam Beach.

We also take a look at a new DVD release, A Prairie Home Companion from director Robert Altman.

Things should be slowing down here in the next couple days, so we should definitely be back on our regular schedule next week. We have several interesting films to catch up with, so please be sure to stay tuned. Again, our apologies for the extended delay!

Apologies for the extended delay. Due to an insanely ridiculous work schedule (Zack’s) the last couple weeks, we have literally had no time to record. We should hopefully be back to our normal schedule shortly. Thanks for your patience!

This week, we review the latest offering from acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, The Departed. The film is one of deception and intrigue as we follow the exploits of both a mob mole in the Boston State Police and an undercover police officer who has infiltrated the city’s organized criminal underground. Featuring an all-star cast comprised of Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen and Mark Wahlberg, The Departed was garnering Oscar buzz long before its release. Does the film earn the critical acclaim it is receiving? Download Episode 15 now to hear our thoughts!

This week, we take a look at The Guardian, starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. This film has been called everything from “Top Gun at Sea” and has been derided by critics. While it may not break any new ground or win any awards, sometimes you just want an escapist action flick. Stephen also offers his thoughts on Open Season. Download Episode 14 now.
