Your Show Notes Follow:

What We’ve Been Watching:

Josh gives us his opinions on The Dark Knight Rises.

Feature Film Review

‘Magic Mike’ directed by Steven Soderbergh. It is written by Reid Carolin. It stars Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Cody Horn and Olivia Munn.

Set in the world of male strippers, Magic Mike is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Channing Tatum in a story inspired by his real life. The film follows Mike as he takes a young dancer called The Kid under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money. Source: Warner Bros.

Our Verdict: Channing Tatum again proves there is more to him as an actor and Matthew McConaughey steals the show. Highly recommended.

 Lists of Five

This week our Lists of Five: Five Actors/Actresses That We Didn’t Think Much of, But Have Now Won Us Over or are Winning Us Over. All we have to say is, Channing Tatum!
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.

Man of Steel Teaser Trailers

Just in case you missed these on the web, here are the two teaser trailers to the new Zack Snyder directed Superman film, Man of Steel. Both trailers are identical except one has a voice over by Kevin Costner’s Pa Kent and the other features a voice over by Russell Crowe’s Jor-El.

Personally I didn’t much care for these teasers as they vaguely feel like an ad for a new show on the Discovery Channel, but see what you think.
