Film Actually Ep017 (109) – Reviewing the Un-Reviewable

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott & Celine Roberts

Welcome to the Film Actually podcast, your weekly dose of movie geek. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com.

This week David McVay and Josh Philpott are joined by Celine Roberts to try and review the un-reviewable, half a movie! Yes, that’s right we are taking on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1’. We also have a few trailers for you and a brand new, listener requested Lists of Five – Five Films That Made You Cry. So sit back, grab a nice cup of something and enjoy.

*Update 13/11/2011 – Film Actually was a split off from the main Geek Actually show and originally maintained numbering continuity with that show. That logic no longer works as the shows have become two unique entities, so we have gone back and re-numbered the Film Actually shows to reflect their true episode number. This show is now officially episode 17 but when you listen to the show you will hear it referred to as episode 109, this is why. Sorry about any confusion or inconvenience.

Film Actually is recorded live every Saturday. Go to geekactually.com/live for the schedule and to watch it

Trailer: Green Lantern

We’ve talked about it on the show, rumour and speculations have run rampant over the internet since it went into production and many, many more comments have been made about the use of a digital costume. Finally we get our first real look at ‘Green Lantern’ the new movie adapted from the DC Comic. Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong star in the film version directed by Martin Campbell. I watched this trailer on Entertainment Tonight yesterday and it left me… well cold actually. I had high hopes for this film, but the trailer has a cheesy vibe to it and I still don’t like the costume. It is not the digital aspect I don’t like, in fact I was a supporter of that concept, he has a cosmic ring which makes the costume so the costume should look a little cosmic. What I don’t like is the design and colouring. Watch the trailer and tell me what your thoughts are.

The synopsis (from IMDB) is:

A test pilot is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe.

Green Lantern opens Summer 2011.

Okay, what did you think? Comment below.
