– Top 3 Monsters/Creatures in Horror (35:36)
Horror movies have been around since the beginning movie monsters have come to define the genre in some great ways over the years. Some monsters or creatures are incredibly iconic for some really great reasons and this week for our Top 3, we found quite a few of them. While this genre scares some of us rather easily, we still had a fantastic discussion on the subject. That being said, what would be your Top 3?

Movie Poll: Best movie from a first time director?

Movie Poll: Best movie from a first time director?

For our movie poll this week, we are getting our motivation from the latest film starring Keanu Reeves, John Wick. Sure, we could of done a poll relating more to Reeves, but what’s really interesting is that the films is directed by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, who are first time directors and mostly known for stunt coordinating. Meaning, the action in the film should at least be pretty awesome.

However, it also made us want to look at other first time directors and the best movies that came from them. And yeah, the list is pretty great. Two of the films listed as options here are in my Top 3 movies of all-time. Pretty solid for a first time director.

As a side note, we are not counting shorts, TV movies, etc. regarding “first time” films for these directors. That being said, who would get your vote? Vote in the poll below!

Podcast: Top 3 War Movie Scenes

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we looked at David Ayer’s new WWII tank film, Fury, starring Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman and Shia Labeouf. War movies have always been an entertaining genre with films that feature some incredible highlights, somber journey’s, rough characters and heroism that most of us will never understand. Some war movies feature some really powerful moments that have become to define and represent the genre, as I think Fury will in the future. We scoured through many and we found some really great scenes to talk about.

That being said, what war movie scenes would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours (Keep in mind we all have different criteria for our lists as well):

JD

1) Saving Private Ryan – Stabbing of Private Mellish
2) Apocalypse Now – Ending Sequences
3) Pearl Harbor – Dogfights

Barry

1) Braveheart – The Battle of Falkirk
2) Enemy at the Gates – Battle of Stalingrad
3) Starship Troopers – The Battle for Klendathu

Mike

1) Star Wars Episode VI: A New Hope – The Battle of Yavin
2) Saving Private Ryan – Beach Landing
3) Independence Day – President’s Speech

Honorable Mentions (Combined)

Star Wars – All other Battles, Apocalypse Now – Village Raid, The Matrix – Final Battle, The Lord of the Rings – All Battles, 300 – Battle of Thermopylae, Gladiator – Opening Battle, Schindler’s List – Ending Sequences, The Great Escape – The Escape, Raestrapo, Korengal, Black Hawk Down – Surgery Scene, We Were Soilders – Ending Narration, Lone Survivor – Died W/ Full Heart, Platoon – Ending Death, Full Metal Jacket – First Act, The Hurt Locker, The Thin Red Line

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. There are obviously a lot more war movies and scenes that we did not cover or talk about, especially regarding some classic films. That being said, what would be your Top 3?

Movie Poll: What’s the best WWII movie?

This week for our poll, in anticipation for Fury coming out this weekend, we’re simply asking what you think is the best WWII movie. There are a lot of great choices out there, some that deal directly with the war while others are more about the hidden stories that were just as heartbreaking and dreadful. Either way, we’ve seen some incredible films that, despite it’s arduous nature, have given us some solid entertainment at the cinema.

So that being said, what do you think is the best WWII movie? Vote below!

Podcast: Top 3 Courtroom Films

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed The Judge starring Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall. And while it’s not 100% about the court case, it is the vehicle that moves the story. The courtroom drama has been around for a very long time and there have been some great classics to fill the genre over the years. Perhaps, after listening to the show, it’s a genre we still need to get more familiar with but despite that, we still came up with some great lists. PS, you can’t handle the truth!

That being said, what courtroom films would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours (Keep in mind we all have different criteria for our lists as well):

JD

1) 12 Angry Men
2) A Few Good Men
3) Fury

Blake

1) A Few Good Men
2) 12 Angry Men
3) Philadelphia

Brendan

1) 12 Angry Men
2) Michael Clayton
3) Lair, Liar

Honorable Mentions (Combined)

To Kill a Mockingbird, Paths of Glory, A Time to Kill, Civil Action, My Cousin Vinny

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below.

Movie Poll: Should Nicholas Cage continue his career making movies?

Oh Nicholas Cage. What are we going to do with you? You used to be so good and now have become a walking punchline. And here’s the thing, you do have skills. Yes I said it. You are talented. So why keep doing this to yourself?

So Cage’s latest film, Left Behind, has a solid 2% on Rotten Tomatoes right now and that’s sadly not surprising. We even discussed it shortly on this week’s podcast (Ep. 85). Sure he’s made a lot of bad choices over the last few years and most of his films nowadays are pretty bad, however he’s shown recently he’s still got the goods. If you saw Joe earlier this year or even Frozen Ground last year, he was solid in both of those films. But it still begs the question. At this point, should he still be making movies?

Well we’d like to hear your thoughts, vote in our latest poll below!

Podcast: Top 3 David Fincher Scenes

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we reviewed David Fincher’s latest film, Gone Girl, which peaked our interest in other Fincher films. Fincher is, for most people, one of the best filmmakers working today and has one heck of a filmography, including Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network & several other great films. Not only does he have an impressive resume but each film has more than three scenes worthy of making a list like this, making this week’s Top 3 really difficult. However, we came up with some great lists and had some really great conversation.

That being said, what David Fincher scenes would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours (Keep in mind we all have different criteria for our lists as well):

JD

1) Se7en – What’s in the box?
2) The Social Network – Courtroom meetings
3) The Game – Rooftop/Ending

Blake

1) Se7en – What’s in the box?
2) Fight Club – Chemical burn
3) The Game – The Game begins (with doll)

Vern

1) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Taxi car accident
2) The Social Network – Beginning break-up
3) Fight Club – Beats himself up

Honorable Mentions (Combined)

Gone Girl – “Sex Scene”, Zodiac – Lakeside murder, Se7en – Slot scene, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Revenge scene, Zodiac – Basement scene, Zodiac – Killer calling News outlet, Panic Room – Jodie Foster ending, Fight Club – First rule

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below.

Movie Review: Gone Girl

Movie Review: Gone Girl

Director: David Fincher
Writers: Gillian Flynn (screenplay), Gillian Flynn (novel)
Stars: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris

Synopsis: With his wife’s disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it’s suspected that he may not be innocent.

[/info]

DIRECTION
Gone Girl was one of my most anticipated films of 2014 because mixing in a great cast, a great director and a storyline so intriguing would even make God himself do a double take. David Fincher, just like the Seahawks in the Super Bowl last year, does not disappoint. Gone Girl is exactly why we should go to the movies. Gone Girl is like Blue Bell Ice Cream (never had it, sucks for you), it’s delicious, fulfilling and as you watch the film you will feel nothing but cold chills, just like that ice cream. In a time where movies try to out CGI each other, nothing can beat an engaging story and dynamic characters whom we develop a relationship similar to our child’s other parent- Love and Hate. And it’s Fincher that is in charge of putting on this Vegas type show.

Fincher, for those unfamiliar (shame on you) has films such as Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on his resume. Fincher was working with a script by Gillian Flynn and adapted from her popular 2012 novel. The challenging thing for Fincher, in my opinion, was to effectively tell the same story from two completely different perspectives and in different parts in time. Nick’s (Ben Affleck) prospective is in the present where he spends his time with his sister Margo and the detectives. We get to know Amy (Rosamund Pike) through the past at first through flashbacks and her journal entries. The stances are different and Fincher had to showcase that well, which he does.

SCRIPT
Much like a suspicious cheating man, I will keep the plot details scarce as to not ruin the story for the non-book readers. Ben Affleck stars as Nick Dunne, who awakens on his fifth wedding anniversary to discover that his wife Amy has gone missing. As a missing person investigation slowly turns into a possible murder mystery, Nick is being watched more than closely than a lion watches its prey. The majority of the film is a big episode of ID’s Unsolved Mysteries. The audience knows the outcome and it’s up to the film to present the story in such a way that we as an audience are right there in Missouri.

There is drastic shift in narration that I will not spoil here, but Fincher was able to do a complete 360 and still have that same Blue Bell Ice Cream chills for us the audience. The way all the characters interact is a refreshing sight to see because too many directors (Michael Bay) cannot seem to grasp how to have engaging conversations between all parties.

PERFORMANCES
For the record, I again am all for Ben Affleck as Batman and if you still do not believe he can do it, than like the wife in the film, your negative thoughts will go away after seeing his performance. One thing you will notice is how much bigger Affleck looks in this film compared to his recent films. Someone said that he has that Superhero look, and that goes to show how dedicated he is to playing Batman. Affleck is like Richard Sherman in coverage – TERRIFIC. This role is perfect for him and he has one of the best “villainous” grins as noted by his wife Amy (in the film). Pike is also very strong in her performance. Now here comes the shocker nobody thought I’d ever say – TYLER PERRY DID NOT ANNOY ME AT ALL IN THIS FILM. Mr. Perry (respect earned) showed that he does have the ability to be a decent actor.

SCORE
As with several other Fincher films, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross got the nod to score here again and it’s amazing. It definitely adds to the ice cream chills you feel throughout the film and is a nicely layered aspect that’d you expect from a Fincher film.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Gone Girl is the best choice this weekend and is worth the arm and leg for the admission. Congratulations Gone Girl, you have made the top 10 best list for 2014, and will most likely stay there. This film will blow you away like a Thursday Night Football game in Atlanta (right Tampa Bay?).
