How To Train Your Dragon, Hot Tub Time Machine, Greenberg, The Bounty Hunter




Film Geek Central show

Summary: We haven't done a show for a couple weeks. That means an extra-packed show for you. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS ABOUT TWO MINUTES OF SILENCE AROUND THE 79 MINUTE MARK. STICK AROUND, WE WERE JUST HAVING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. First up, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is the newest Dreamworks films (the studio that cranks out hits even though the press keeps telling us they're a failure) to win your family dollar. It's an animated film in which a science-minded viking decides that dragons aren't the terrors he's been raised to believe. HOT TUB TIME MACHINE will be the next comedy hit, and will do better still once it hits DVD. In it, a group of bored middle-aged people get in a hot tub and are mysteriously transported back to 1985. GREENBERG is a new film from director Noah Baumbach (THE SQUID AND THE WHALE) in which Ben Stiller plays a hipster who decides to do nothing for a while. Sort of like how he did nothing in the HEARTBREAK KID remake. Zing! The studio has to be kicking itself over the bombing of THE BOUNTY HUNTER. This Jennifer Aniston-Gerard Butler romantic comedy has not performed well so far, but is it a buried treasure? REPO MEN involves health care workers who serve on a literal death panel. In other words, if you can't keep up with your payments for your organs, you are killed and your organs are repossessed. All this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week!
