Film Sack

Why does the Lord of the Rings trilogy hold up so well? What’s the magic sauce? A lot to talk about, so we do, on this Round Table Film Sack this week.

In 1978, bullied teen Arnie Cunningham buys and restores a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, which has a violent history dating back to its assembly. As the car supernaturally repairs itself, Arnie becomes dangerously obsessed while Christine begins a murderous spree against anyone who threatens their bond

This week on Film Sack, a group of Miami cops discovers a stash of millions in cash, leading to distrust as outsiders learn about the huge seizure, making them question who to rely on. Like dogma, except with guns. Okay, maybe not that. 

This week on Film Sack, we watch Elysium! In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. A man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds. Not the Poloroid world. That’s a different thing. Anyway, get ready for hot Matt Damon on Jodie Foster action! SPACE! 

On this week’s Film Sack Podcast, we watch 2011’s Sucker Punch, about a young girl institutionalized by her abusive stepfather retreats to an alternative reality as a coping strategy and envisions a plan to help her escape. Everyone loves Sucker flavored Punch! Especially Zach Snyder!

The movies that shaped you. That were your wonder years.

Ten years ago we promised to revist our thoughts on our 2015 review of The Force Awakens. So we did it! And did some of out impressions and thoughts change? For sure. Enjoy this week’s episode!

On this week's Film Sack Podcast, a decidedly odd couple with ulterior motives convince Dr. Grant to go to Isla Sorna for a holiday, but their unexpected landing startles the island's new inhabitants. I wonder if it will feature people running from wild dinosaurs. Oh, right. This has all the flying ones! It's a UNIX system!

On this week's Film Sack podcast, Trading Places! A snobbish Wall Street commodities broker and a wily street hustler find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaire brothers who run a brokerage house. Pork bellies and orange juice futures! And many boobs! And uncomfortable racial terms! Merry Christmas!
