Movies You May Have Missed - HD

What do the films Das Boot and Submarine have in common? Das Boot is about a German submarine crew and the terror and claustrophia of their time during World War II, which SOUNDS like it's about a shoe. Submarine is about a 15-year-old boy and his quest to save his parents marriage and be a good boyfriend, which SOUNDS like it's about a boat. And both films have lines of dialog talking about the depth of the ocean... So....nothing in common at all. Still they are both really terrific films that should be on your watch list. Check out our reviews!

We had so much fun with the Journalism-Scandal double feature from a couple of weeks ago, we decided to come back to the subject of Journalism. In this case, we decided to watch two movies that showcase the good it can do. In "The Year of Living Dangerously" we watch a young, not-yet-scandal-plagued Mel Gibson and a young Sigourney Weaver as journalists covering the turmoil in Indonesia. AND Linda Hunt is amazing playing man! In "The China Syndrome" a journalist is trying to show the dangers of Nuclear power, but perhaps the real story is how the Three-Mile Island accident happend just a few weeks after this film opened.

Sometimes we just have to get a little weird. It was brought up that we should cover some David Lynch, but honestly we're not quite read for that level of strange. Babysteps people. Gotta crawl before you can sprint. This week we're building up our "quirk tolerance" with a pair of charming films which both loosely deconstruct existentialism... Sort of... First we dissect the condition of bit players in Shakespearean theatre with R&G Are Dead. Then we satirize horror films with 'Rubber'.

Scandal has always sold newspapers, but what if the scandal is what's going on AT the newspaper? We aren't talking about the current hacking scandal (that film hasn't been made yet), but of scandals from just a few years ago. Shattered Glass is the true story of Stephen Glass, the young journalist working for The New Republic, who goes to great lengths to be the star of the newsroom. Fair Game (not the Cindy Crawford/Billy Baldwin flick) is the true story of Valerie Plame and what happens when her career as a CIA agent is outed in a newspaper article.

These two movies were both films we wished had gotten more eyes on them in 2011, but since we don't own time machines (...YET!) we can at least get more eyes on them now via streaming rentals. Hanna is about a young girl raised by her father (Eric Bana - are we surprised?) to be an assasin/secret agent/survivor. She takes on Cate Blanchett. OF COURSE you want to see this. Super, starring Raine Wilson, is another in the vein of the trod-upon guy becoming a sort-of vigilante, but don't make the mistake of thinking you've already seen too many of these. This one has to be on your list for the interesting twists it takes, the darkness of the plot, and the fact that KEVIN BACON is in this.

It's our Day-After-Valentine's-Day Episode and, of course, Juan and Lee are incapable about talking about anything romantic with any kind of maturity. Which is why we are VERY lucky to have relationship blogger and comedienne Claudia Maittlen-Harris joinning us today. She brings with her a movie from her native country (Australia) called, "Picnic at Hanging Rock." The film is about a group of school girls who disappear at Hanging Rock on Valentine's Day at the turn of the century... Claudia was born in Australia, raised in Texas and doesn't take any of the guys nonsense. You can read more of her work at her blog The Zeros Before the One. - http://www.thezerosbeforetheone.com/ Support MYMHM! Shop for 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' on Amazon! http://amzn.to/AxOvuW

So many great films coming out in 2012, and which film is Juan most excited for? Sigh... Let him tell you...

Juan and Lee like to compete....So they each decided to bring a WW2 movie. Predictably, Juan brought a black and white film and Lee brought a more modern film - but these two films ended up working really well today. Kelly's Heroes is about a group of soldiers who are trying to steal some Nazi gold...AND IT HAS CLINT EASTWOOD IN IT! The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel is about, well, Rommel. But it's starring James Mason. Which means: Let the Eddie Izzard Impression of James Mason impressions begin! ------------------------------ Desert Fox on Amazon (FREE on Prime): http://amzn.to/ysUR44 - Kelly's Heroes on Amazon (FREE on Prime): http://amzn.to/xaPuH2

A note from Producer Marie: Back in college I saw a movie that was so disturbing, so visually mesmerizing, that it stuck with me. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the title...or even the plot really. Just a series of really disturbing images. So one day I came home and Juan said he had watched Delicatessen. In my head, I flashed to an image of the Delicatessan movie poster from the Netflix queue. In that moment I confused it with the disturbing movie I had seen in college and promptly asked him "Why would you do that to yourself?" (I need to point out that I don't think the movie I saw in college was bad, just deeply disturbing-which, since it stuck with me all these years, probably means it's a very good movie). For awhile we were both confused as to what movie the other had seen. Then, somewhere else, I saw the correct title of the movie that had haunted me since college. The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover was that movie. Until recently, you couldn't even rent a DVD of it. Now it's available on some VOD services. Because of all this, Juan and Lee decided to cover the two movies I had confused. Surprisingly, they found some common themes. ----- MYMHM around the web!

In our first Trailer Burn, Juan takes a look at his all time favorite movie trailer. Watch the trailer we're talking about one Youtube - http://youtu.be/I6qDqdYY6-Y

Okay, so these two movies don't have a LOT in common. One is a fictionalized examination of how easily a movement like Fascism can take hold and one is an animated documentary following one soldier's attempts to remember what happened during a war. But both do show, in totally different ways, the horrors of war. Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true.

Hey everybody! We have a copy of Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 11, one of Juan's favorite video editing programs for the PC, and we want to give it to a fan of our show!

When we picked these two films to cover, most of the awards shows had not aired. Now just a couple of weeks later Christopher Plummer has now won a Critics Choice award and a Golden Globe for his performance in Beginners. We want to congratulate him and concur. His performance is brilliant and Beginners is a terrific film. We paired it with another wonderful indie drama, Terri, starring the always fun-to-watch John C Reilly.

Don't you hate it when a total stranger moves into your house and starts teaching you life lessons? Or when your somewhat adorable nephew shows up out of the blue and begs you for advice on how to pick up women? What's that? Neither of those circumstances has EVER happened to you? Hmm. Well, then you should check out this week's episode on "Hesher" and "Roger Dodger." Then you'll know what to do when it DOES happen
