We FINALLY listened... These are terrific movies, you said. Why haven't you covered these two terric gems, you asked. Well, we finally heard and listened. Though neither of these movies were big smashes at the box office, they have developed a strong following. We decided to check out why and instantly figured it out. Now it's our turn to spread the love. Whether you are fans of the movies or will (hopefully) soon be, check out our reviews of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. ** Spoiler Alert ** some details of the ending of Before Sunrise are discussed in our review of Before Sunset, so if you haven't seen it, pause the epside before we jump to the sequel and go watch the movie before finishing the episode. It's currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly and Amazon Instant View, so you have no excuse!
What's better than two movies about aliens? Two BRITISH movies about aliens, of course. Us being us, we couldn't go mainstream for movies about aliens, so we traveled across the pond (well, not really, but we checked out British films) for these two gems. Attack the Block takes on the genre in what should be a ridiculously silly film, but, being British, makes it a genuinely good film. Alien Autopsy is a mockumentary starring Ant and Dec supposedlyAlien Autopsy "footage" that made the rounds in the 90's.
Happy Holidays from MYMHM! In honor of the most wonderful time of the year, we are covering both the 1985 AND the 2011 versions of Fright Night. And yes, we know it's not Halloween. We are hoping to give the 2011 Fright Night a little holiday magic. This movie ROCKS and it did not do well in the theatres for some bizarre reason. We're hoping to spread a little love for it and make you all go buy it. :) Get ready for our first remake double feature!
Can you think of a GREAT Soccer movie that people missed? (No one missed Bend it Like Beckham). Well we could only think of one, The Damned United, starring the brilliant Michael Sheen and many other brilliant actors. It captures one of the true stories of English Football and does it in a terrific, somewhat non-linear way. And, yes, even Lee (who thinks Soccer is boring) ended up really liking it...but being Lee, he did have to be snarky about it. Check out the review below! Help support MYMHM!

Heeee's Baaack! Way back in Episode 12 (That's right, more than 100 episodes ago) our pal, actor/filmmaker Yuri Lowenthal, talked with us about the terrifying Spanish film 'REC'. In that episode he made a promise NOT to watch 'REC 2' until he could watch it with both of us. Well, we FINALLY worked out our schedules and checked it out. Check out our review and discussion of the film with Yuri Lowenthal!
You may or may not know that all of us here at MYMHM are from New Mexico (which IS a state in the union for those of you who weren't totally sure). So this week we thought we'd bring you a couple of films that were filmed AND take place in our home state! The first is older and ...less flattering about NM. The second is newer and heartwarming. Both are terrific films. Check out our reviews!
We always have a hard time coming up with a "Thanksgiving" themed episode (remember 'Dutch'?). So this year we broke it down to the two elements of the holiday that really matter (to us): family and the FOOD. Both of these films feature scenes of cooking that we gaurantee will make you want to eat or cook. And their themes of family and friendship are pretty universal too.
Annnnd we're back on track with themes! This week it's East meets West in two really fun capers. In 'Bunraku' Josh Hartnett is a mysterious drifter who wants to kill Ron Perlman (sold you already, didn't we?). In ' The Good, the Bad, the Weird,' we follow three men (guess what they are named?), two of which want a treasure map and one who is pursuing both of them. Check out our reviews of these two films!
Okay, so we admit it. Neither of these films really has anything to do with the other (other than they both qualify as 'Dramas'), but they were both so terrific, we just had to cover them. Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald teach us about the world (by being adorable!) in 'The Girl in the Cafe,' and we learn what MIGHT have happened to Butch Cassidy in 'Blackthorn.' Check out our reviews!
So out here in LA we are frequent visitors of a great theatre chain called the Laemmle. They tend to show indie films that you might not get to see at your more mainstream theatres. This week's episode features two movies we caught at the Laemmle when they were in theatres. 'Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil' had the theatrical audience rolling in the aisles while also covering their eyes. 'The Trip' reunites Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon and also had them rolling in the aisles, but in a much less violent way. Help support MYMHM! Check out our merch page at: http://mymhm.tv/shop
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Okay so it's a few days early, but still! It's the most wonderful time of the year: Candy AND Spooky Movies! This year's Halloween epsisode focuses on ...NOT ZOMBIES, NOT VAMPIRES, but the other monster movie staple: WEREWOLVES! Check out our reviews of 'Dog Soldiers' and 'Ginger Snaps' Help support MYMHM!

Okay, so we're not totally clueless. We know that very few of you missed 'Grosse Pointe Blank', but it actually didn't do that well in the box office...plus we really liked it! With it, we bring you another one from across the pond, starring the brilliant Bill Nighy, 'Wild Target' Check out our review of these two hitmen features!
It's stunning that we somehow got to episode 121 without covering Samurai films. Well, we finally decided to rectify this sad situation! Lee brought "Sword of Doom," which sounds like the most awesome Samurai flick ever! And Juan got Shakespearean on us with "Ran." Check out the review!
We haven't done a guest episode in a while, so it's our pleasure to share with you a great selection from none other than Mr. Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911, Fairly Odd Parents, Rocko's Modern Life)! He was kind enough to drop by with the CLASSIC comedy "A Thousand Clowns", and we had a blast talking about the film! Unfortunately, because we're ultra lame, a hard drive failure tanked most of the episode we shot, so please pardon the fact that most of the episode is audio. We have included video from the film we're discussing, so there is some stuff to watch, but the commentary Carlos provides on the film is certainly worth a listen! Enjoy! For more info on how to stalk Carlos (up coming shows, stand up, and appearances), check out his site: www.CarlosAlazraqui.com
It's been two whole weeks since Juan got to have a say in the flicks we covered! The wait has been tortuous for him. Now it's all him, baby! He picked two film that...pretty much have nothing to do with each other, but are both gems in their own right. Check out our reviews of "The Great Debaters" and "Bunny and the Bull."
