Big Screen Auckland Nige & Cory

There's no txters & no gangstas this week! Cory & Nige find yet another new favourite in a Quebecian mystery set in the Middle East; Cory sings one of Howard Shore's LOTR scores for us during our musings on the transient (??) Terrence Malick film, The Tree Of Life; and we mention the pleasant Billy T. James doco before Nige tries to fit as much IMDB as he can into our discussion of what's on this coming week…

00:55 - Incendies
06:40 - The Tree Of Life (plus chatter about Cannes and Lord Of The Rings)
21:35 - Billy T: Te Movie
26:05 - What's On (Jane Eyre, The Help, Steam Of Life, Weekend & The Center. Plus talk of Breaking Bad, Iconoclasts and a bunch of upcoming projects from Nige's favourite actors)

With Cory being ill and Editor Nige being slack, we were unable to successfully put together an episode about the films we saw this week; however, we are so very wonderful, that we've pieced together a show from some unaired Film Fest stuff for you. We discuss the Big Screen's latest offerings first, then a lo-fi indie flick before our good pal Jake tries to work out what we thought of a certain Chinese...period...comedy...western...actioner??

00:48 - What's On (Hanna, Final Destination 5, Larry Crowne, Billy T: Te Movie, Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale, Senna, Fire In Babylon, Cave Of Forgotten Dreams 3D)
15:45 - NZFF: Tiny Furniture
20:45 - NZFF: Let The Bullets Fly

Shit's going down at 240°C as we record by the oven with pork sizzlin' away and Nige talks too damn loud while drinking Cory's Hennessy. Jon Favreau isn't as actiony OR in-your-facey as we'd hoped, but two Russian fellas scrapping in the Arctic did the trick! Then we pluck an unaired Film Fest rant from the archives for y'all! We also talk about what's on at the moment and Cory announces that 3D is coming and is the new thing!

01:30 - Cowboys & Aliens
10:50 - How I Ended This Summer
15:47 - What's On (The Tree Of Life, The Guard, El Violin, Crazy, Stupid, Love., 3D films, TT3D: Closer To The Edge, Priest 3D, McLuhan's Wake & The Bicycle Thieves)
29:20 - NZFF: Martha Marcy Mae Marlene

Cory can't decide whether Dumbledore is the CEO of McDonald's or a maths freak. Nige can't decide whether it was all worth it (but appears to have a crush on Rupert Grint). It's a battle for the ages as we hoot & holler slash piss & moan about JK's world of wizardry.

0:54 - The Harry Potter Confrontation
36:14 - What's On (Mr. Nice, The Double Hour, Billy T: Te Movie, Overheard 2, Cars 2, The Woman With The Five Elephants & Summer Wars)
46:41 - Fin

Cory & Nige storm through some Top Ten lists and wrap-up the NZ International Film Festival; Nige tries to keep it down in the library while Jake dazzles him with words like evinced & egalitarian; then we sit down by the pool table as Pat reminisces about clowns with SMGs.

11:44 - Cory & Nige's favourite characters

Nige loses his cool trying to fathom Cory's passion for THE TURIN HORSE; famous cat Bill Gosden - the Film Fest director - stops by for a schmooze; and we are completely swept up by super-cool actiony Korean thing THE YELLOW SEA.

1:20 - The Turin Horse
11:16 - A chat with NZFF Director Bill Gosden
28:32 - The Yellow Sea
