Tune in to Real Radio 104.1 FM in Orlando every Monday afternoon around 5:15 PM to hear the boys discuss the movies.  Smack dab in the middle of Orlando's longest-running, extremely popular talk-radio show The Philips Phile, the guys dish out the pink triangles, talk about what they liked or disliked, and tell you whether or not you should waste your money on a ticket to see the movie of the week.  OK, who are we kidding.  They do get around to talking about movies, but you actually never know just what is going to come out of their mouths once they get going.

It's worth listening in just to see if WANZIE can manage to keep the FCC from throwing down a fine or two for something that he's blurted out.  After all, once they hit that delay or bleep button, it takes a while to build it back up.  You'll be on pins and needles with the next edition of the Monday Movie Review with WANZIE and DOUG.  And be sure to tune into The Philip's Phile on Real Radio 104.1 FM, Monday thru Friday from 3-7 PM.

If you don't reside in the Central Florida area, you can tune in to the show on the Internet.  Check out The Philips Phile online here!  You can also catch delayed presentations of the show on XM satellite radio (Extreme XM - Channel 152).  It airs the entire show three-hours later (6-10 PM).  You can catch the guys on XM at approximately 8:10 PM.

WANZIE

"The movie was good enough to snag the Oscar. So is Jeff Bridges who was so perfectly understated. He did his own signing. I don't want to hear country western music for 2 hours but Jeff Bridges was good.  The whole thing is real with a grit to it. I was all geared up to come in and poo poo the big buzz, but it totally sucked me in. Maggie Gyllenhaal was delightful."

DOUG

"It opens with him being booked into a bowling alley. It was really well done. When he got on stage you really wanted to watch. There's just enough twists in it to make you stay engaged and keep you off balance. There was something missing, but I just don't know what it was. Jeff Bridges was entertaining and good. Give him the Oscar now. Maggie Gyllenhaal was great."

WANZIE (from a secret hidden bunker)

"I was afraid that if I didn't get on the air to warn people to not see it, more people would waste money on it. Movie gets too lost on artistic direction. If they were intending to be campy, then they did a worse job than they thought. Laughable. Everyone in that movie is a good performer, but was horrible in that movie. What really pissed me off was about 5 minutes into the film, everyone knows that the father (Hopkins) was the werewolf. An hour and a half into, here's the big buildup and you already let us know that at the beginning what was going to happen. Bored to tears with it. Think back to the original black and white, you were on the edge of your seat and was such good storytelling. Nothing about this made you frightened."

JIM PHILIPS

"Plaza Theater Downtown is a Great Theater. This was a great experience. Seat was great.
Acting was terrible. Couldn't decide if they wanted it to be a horror movie or campy. Terrible. The process of becoming the Wolfman ... that was amazing. Then at the end, when Anthony Hopkins, becomes Daddy Wolfman, I busted out laughing."

"I couldn't find one thing to criticize about it. It is very interesting. A lot about her family dynamics. When it ended you were sorry it was over. You just sit there in the theater and think Oh I wanted more! It was exquisite. Goes along at a nice pace. As much was with looks as with the written word.  I loved it. This is a perfect movie."

DOUG

"Emily Blunt was great. She is up for an Oscar. Came out of it learning things. Nice love story. It was very very good. You learn a lot about history."

"I loved the movie but I didn't like the last 12 minutes. I have talked to people who thought the ending was perfect. Everyone in it is delightful. It's complicated because all the kids are home for the graduation. She's feeling guilty because she's doing what happened to her 10 years ago. Has a turn-on-the-dime ending. They make certain people too likeable for the movie to end the way that it did. There was as much said with looks and stares and glares than there was with dialogue."

DOUG

"I was physically exhausted and I fell asleep before the ending. I liked it a lot. It is very funny. It is so much deeper than the trailer. Meryl Streep plays a woman who's been divorced for 10 years and goes to college to visit her son and has an affair with her ex-husband, and now she's the other woman. Steve Martin plays a real character. Giving away the ending, she ruled for 80 years. "
