  • The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings - Caravan Of Garbage

    35:03|
    2001 kicked of the start of a remarkable trilogy of films, live action adaptations of The Lord of the Rings beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring. From director Peter Jackon and filmed in his home country of New Zealand these movies have served as the pinacle of blockbuster cinema managing to perfectly balance heart, action, spectacle, model work and CGI. With an incredible cast of mostly unknowns including Elijah Woods, Seasn Astin, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyer, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies, Dominic Monaghan and the late great Christopher Lee.

  • Noah - Caravan Of Garbage

    23:27|
    In 2014 Darren Aronofsky hit us with the Russell Crowe lead biblical epic Noah. A bold and accurate(?) retelling of the classic Old Testament tale of one man and his family in a quest to help God kill everyone on earth but not all the animals, just most of them. This concludes our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy for 2024, but don't worry we'll definitely return to more down the line. Probably like Robin Hood or whatever I dunno.

  • Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World - Caravan Of Garbage

    18:49|
    We're back to continue on our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy, a peak into three Russell Crowe historical epics. This week it's 2003's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a critically lauded nautical adventure that didn't quite reach the audience it needs to warrent a sequel. Also featuring the likes of Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd and James D'Arcy it's well worth of look if this one happened to pass you by.
