Film Review Podcast: “Melancholia” & “The Muppets”
Posted: December 6th, 2011 | Filed under: Film Reviews Podcast | 1 Comment »
Mmmmmmms the word — actually the letter — this week.
The movies: “Melancholia” and “The Muppets.”
Each is worthy of your time, though, as I talk about in the podcast, they come from opposite ends of the spectrum.
“The Muppets” remain as charming and disarming and fun as ever. Intelligent entertainment for the whole family. Great to have them back.
“Melancholia” is hard, mature moviemaking. Lars Van Trier, ever the provocateur, continues to push the emotive envelope. This film is not easy, but it is his best since “Breaking the Waves.”
Listen up.


Is a [tran]script available or do I need to listen? Just curious. Thanks.
