Cop Out, The Crazies, 44 Inch Chest, The Last Station




Film Geek Central show

Summary: Hey hey, it's our 50th episode of Film Geek Central! Feel free to applaud. First, we're finally getting a look at COP OUT. Now, Austin named this his Least Awaited Film of 2009. If you only saw the original trailer, that's understandable. However, glimpses at several Red Band (read: uncensored) clips have put that in doubt. Will Kevin Smith's cop comedy surprise us all? THE CRAZIES is a film in which several laid back townspeople become infected with a mysterious sickness that turns them into crazed killers. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? But remember, this is a remake of George Romero's underrated film from 1974. That's right, in the world of mordern horror, Romero did everything first. 44 INCH CHEST boasts a cast of some of the most talented actors from across the pond. Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Stephen Dillane and Joanne Whalley all star in this crime film/psychodrama about a group of friends who take revenge on the man who has been sleeping with one of their wives. THE LAST STATION finally comes to Scott's neck of the woods, which means we can finally review it. This acclaimed film has already nabbed several awards nominations, including Oscar noms for Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer. All this plus Oscar predictions, film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! Join us for show #50! Hope to see you there, Film Geeks!
