Movieing On - Movies From 1999 Or Earlier

There are few things in the artistic world that frustrate me as much as movies that aren't quite movies. I'm sure you know the type. It's like you've got your hands on a script, a director, a handful of actors, a production company and all the hardware you need, but never let any of the actors rehearse with each other. You then send the finished product to an editor who's never read the script and doesn't know what the movie is about before they hand it in turn to marketing, who try to down-play the entire "Everybody kills themselves in the end of the movie" angle...

We're all dreaming of a White Christmas - you know, just like the ones we used to know... But that's not what we're getting, what with global warming and all. So let's instead sit back, relax, and enjoy a movie about a white Christmas.

Christmas is coming up, so why not do a christmas-themed movie? That's what we asked ourselves, and we couldn't come up with a good answer to that question ... so we did a christmas movie.

Showdown in Little Tokyo is a 1991 action film. It features Brandon Lee in his first American film role, starring alongside Dolph Lundgren. In this film set in Los Angeles, two police officers (Johnny Murata and Sgt. Chris Kenner, respectively) attempt to take down a Yakuza drug operation. The tone of the movie follows the traditional buddy cop formula. Show notes and links: Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) (imdb.com) Craption!

There's a perverse kind of justice in a movie that already in the title gives a suggestion for what kind of a rating you could give it. The moon is a roundish type of thing, so that's a zero, and by following "zero" with "zero two", one would assume this means point zero two. So two hundreths of a point. Thankfully, the movie was much better than that. Actually, quite a lot better than that, if we're comparing our rating to 0.02, but ... yeah, have a listen and find out how we enjoyed the 1969 sci-fi classic, Moon Zero Two.

It's a lovely movie. It really is. Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Rhys Ifans and a cameo by Dylan Moran, all wrapped in a boy-gets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-no-longer-wants-girl-boy-changes-his-mind-boy-gets-girl narrative ...

Before Toerag left the show, he had a few more movies left in the schedule. Instead of removing them, we figured we should honor his suggestions. After watching The Goodbye Girl, I'm glad we did.

This week on Movieing On, a French movie! To some, that would be all the description they need - but there's more to it. It's a Godard movie, which says a lot to the film buffs out there. He divides movie watchers all over the world, and I've never ever heard a single person talking about any of his movies as "Well, it .. it's okay, I suppose. Nothing special."

As the New Kids On the Block tell us, You're the reason why I sing this song, all that I needed was you. Oh girl, you're so right, said all that I wanted was you. You made all my dreams come true ...

It's a feelgood comedy from the mid 90s, starring three women who are supposed to have been in school together. Considering that the actresses are all born within three month of each other, it's possibly the first time that this is a plausible thing to believe. Enjoy! We did.

In an episode to go down in history not for the greatness of the movie or the amazing discussion that is sparked by it, the four hosts of Movieing On sit down for one last time in this particular constellation to talk about The Mighty, a movie about an introverted boy with some version of PTSD who later grows up to become Daredevil's best friend, but who first befriends a wisecracking boy with Morquio Syndrome. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder if the accent coach was asleep on the job. Mostly, you'll smile and enjoy the movie, however. It's sweet.

A controversial character, but a surprisingly non-controversial movie. Generally well liked, it never won any of the two Academy Awards it was nominated for.

It's been a while since we did a real feel-good movie, and while it's hard to say if this one is really a feel-good movie, it absolutely feels good to finally have it done on this show. And where better to do it than one quarter of our way to episode #1000?
