Subject:CINEMA #104 - "Rabbits Out Of Hats - Magic In The Movies!"

This week, Kim and TC take a look at Magic in the movies!

Plus, This week's Callback, we catch up on our e-mail, we take a look at Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Vertigo, and we launch this season's coverage of Dancing With The Stars!

THIS WEEKS NOTES:

It's been a BEAR trying to keep things up the last several weeks - with work being crazy, and our PNR/IFS schedule getting tighter and tighter, it's hard to keep things updated, but don't give up on us - work always continues!

I did manage to catch up our movie ratings in the ListZone this morning, and also debuted the Resolution Revolution list - scores will appear from our Resolution movies as we see them. As you can see, i'm still up on Kim 2-0 so far, and Casablanca and Citizen Kane, along with three of the four Universal monster movie collection, are here and just waiting to be watched...

A quick correction - in our discussion of the classic Hitchcock film Vertigo, I inadvertently gave the incorrect year of release as 1962; I apologize for the error - it was released in 1958.

We also ran short this week, by almost 20 minutes; we had a couple of other items that we pushed back because Kim was getting ready for Easter Vigil at her church; we'll be back to our normal length (or longer...you KNOW how we are, heh heh heh) next week.

On the schedule for this week - i've got a TON of screeners to catch up on for IFS, we are taking in SpineTingler: The William Castle Story at the Boston Underground Film Festival later today, we are hoping to get to Stephen Chow's new movie, CJ7, as well as David Gordon Green's new movie Snow Angels (starring PNR 2006 Rising Stars Michael Angarano and Connor Paolo) and Friday night's opening of 21, as the week goes on. We are skipping this week's Chlotrudis EyeOpener, Chop Shop, not because we don't want to see it (I actually do want to see it rather badly), but because Kim didn't get back from Easter Vigil until just before 11 PM, and it would have been a bit of a short night for her if we had to get up earlier. So that movie will have to wait. And as if that's not enough, Kim has a rehearsal for the Chlotrudis Awards during the week after work one night...is it any wonder time is tight these days?

But in any case, we hope you enjoy this week's show on magic in the movies. And we wish everyone a happy and safe Easter holiday!

NEXT WEEK: PREHISTORICAL PARADIGM - Dinosaurs In The Movies! Be There. Aloha.

Subject:CINEMA #99 - "The Buck Stops Here - Presidential Pix!"

Plus all the usual gabby stuff - The Callback, The Bonehead Of The Week, and our email - plus this week's National Amusements painfest known as Kung-Fu Flicks, and a review of The Spiderwick Chronicles!

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

I mention in the show about having a second Resolution movie done. The show ran long and we didn't get to it, so look for our take on The Maltese Falcon next week!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Here's a great song about what Christmas is all about....TC's all time favorite Christmas song...nothing else even COMES CLOSE...

AT CHRISTMAS

Music and Lyrics by Taylor, Issac, and Zac Hanson

Snow is falling down as you step out of your car
Presents in your arms and you’ve traveled far
Someone opens the door with a smile on their face
And you know you’ve come to the right place

Family nestled by the fire
Christmas hopes to inspire
Loved ones by your side
You know you’ll kiss your babies goodnight

At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are
How far you've come
This is where you belong
At Christmas

Memories ‘round the Christmas tree
Are the sweetest ones that remain with me
It’s a comfort deep inside
Though you can’t stop the race of time
To know that Christmas will always be

Family nestled by the fire
Christmas hopes will be inspired
Loved ones by your side
You know you’ll kiss your baby good night

Chorus

Well can't you feel the changing, the anticipation
Can you tell we're almost there
Well precious time we're takin, memories we're making
It's Christmas in the air

Now this is what Christmas means to me
Being together with your family
And the wise men who followed that star
To where our baby Jesus lie

Family nestled all around
Baby Jesus asleep so sound
His star shined so bright
On the very first holy night

At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are
How far you've come
This is where you belong

***

I don't know why, but this song gets me every time...it's everything that Christmas is, all in one song...it's just the whole sentiment of the thing, I guess...family, friends, and the real meaning of Christmas...all rolled up in a neat 4 minute package...

To all of YOU who we've come to know as fans and as friends, and everyone else too, TC and Kim wish everyone a happy and wonderful Merry Christmas!

Subject:CINEMA #88 - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!"

I apologize for being late today...Comcast's system crashed when about 90% of the show had been uploaded, and wouldn't come back up for almost four and a half hours....this system is driving me nuts lately..

Oh well, enough about that...today's show features Kim and TC's take on Santa Claus at the movies!

THE SHOW: Plenty of Santa talk this week, plus Kim's review of I Am Legend, and a jampacked Callback this week.

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

Also, as we have a mid-week edition coming on Thursday, we will have a HUGE e-mail segment, and this week's Bonehead Of The Week, plus the Empire survey I mentioned in the Callback on that show - there simply wasn't room for it on this week's show!

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

This has been such a hectic weekend for us - as you well know, in addition to getting the Masters Of The Macabre off the ground, we were in attendance for three films and a panel at the New England Film and Video Festival, where we had so much fun (check out the recap show), and made some great connections. So the show was uber-late. But it's now up, and we're very thankful for the patience of our loyal fans.

Don't forget - Our loyal listeners Monica and Johnny Swanson have a new podcast, Video Revue, and it went up today! Be sure to head over and check it out - they're great together! And be sure to check out the blog as well.

Keep watching throughout the week on the site - some changes are in the offing, and they're bound to make our site even better than it is now. Also, if anyone out there has CSS or PHP experience and would be willing to lend a hand at little or no cost, i'm not great at either one but could use some help with those areas. Also, anyone who knows the Movable Type system, I could use your feedback as well.

Keep checking PNR throughout the week for continuing features. This week, Trailer Train will return with trailers from the New England Film And Video Festival, and Trailer Trove continues it's march through the movies being featured in National Amusements' Attack Of The B-Movies screenings.

Also, if you read and follow Boston Popcorn, note that as of mid-week sometime, it will move to it's new address, which is http://bostonnow.com/blogs/bostonpopcorn. That address is not working yet, but they swear it will be soon.

If anyone has tickets to one of about 200 sneak preview seasons of The Final Season, starring Michael Angarano and Sean Astin, this week, please don't forget to send in a review! I tried to land tickets to the freebie, but apparently didn't get them...::sigh::
