Friday Nights at Blockbuster Ciaran Vallely
-
- TV & Film
Blockbuster had a huge influence on my sister and I growing up. Heading down on a Friday night to grab a movie or two to get us through the weekend became a weekly ritual. We saw a lot of great things, but the occasional dud would slip in here and there. But, not with a few years behind us, and many many more movies watched, we are going back for another look at the movies that helped shape the 2000s. All episodes released on Wednesdays.

I try once again to convince Kate a movie that does not seem like on the surface is actually a rom-com. Perhaps a little successfully this time.

All about Michael Mann heist movies this week. One is the blueprint and the other is the masterpiece. The action is the juice!

June 27th, 2008 - In Bruges
Looking back to the movie where Colin Farrell became one of our absolute favourite actors. Dark Comedy isn't for everyone, but no one does it better than McDonagh!

October 1st, 2004 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
What makes a RomCom? Perhaps my definition is too lenient, but if a movie makes me laugh and is romantic I think it completes the checklist. There are others with a more puritanical view on the issue...
