 The Monday Movie Review with WANZIEandDOUG!

The Philips Phile on Real Radio 104.1 FM - Orlando!
Click Here for more on the Philips Phile!
Welcome to the Monday Movie Review with WANZIE and DOUG!

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.
6
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.

Week of November 30, 2009 Review

WANZIE

"It is gritty and realistic to a T. It is very hard to watch. It gets worse and ends with a problem being piled on top of a problem, but it's a problem Precious gladly accepts to get rid of her mother. Mo'Nique the  mother, will very likely win the Academy Award. The range of emotions that she goes through is amazing. They don't show you anything, it's not like they're pandering to the sensationalism of the rape. With a little bit of editing, you would believe this is a documentary. It's that good. Mariah Carey is unbelievably good"

The Blind Side

DOUG

"I didn't love it or hate it. It's tough to watch. It's pretty depressing. In the last 20 minutes it gets worse. I predict Monique will likely win the Academy Award for best supporting actor. They do do a few scenes where she's with her friends and they show her as nice. This is one of a million stories"

"The movie was great, with a  stellar performance by Sandra Bullock, whose accent was flawless and sassy like the woman she was playing.  Guys are going to have to deal with that it's about an hour before the football starts, but everyone in the theater loved it. Love the little boy who takes this black man under his wing and help coach him and with social graces.  A good family movie with no in appropriate scenes that may be the best movie of the year."

The Blind Side 

DOUG

"True story about Michael Orr who comes from the projects and Sandra Bullock's character takes him in.  She could get nominated for an Oscar in this role.  She is the one person that I've admitted has gotten better over the years.  It's really good.  I cried like 8 times.  Best movie I've seen this year.  I'd sit through it again tomorrow.  Loved it!"

"Quite possible one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can't even grasp the fact that at some point they didn't think this is just horrible. I just wanted to strangle the director. The whole premise of the movie was blown by what happened. I came out thinking I had been in the movie for 3 1/2 hours. It is 2 hours of your life you will never get back. If you watched this movie at home...you would turn it off. This movie is not worth seeing under any circumstances!"

Note: Michael fell asleep for so long that his friend convinced him that there was a naked scene

Didn't see a movie because he was under the weather.

"I absolutely loved it. It has one of the best scripts to come along. You have to have the belief that psychic ability exists. It was just so funny. Jeff Bridges was brilliant. I loved the fact that at the beginning it said this movie is based on fact. At the end of the movie it said More of this movie was true than you would like to think. It was delightful. It was so crazy."

"Lots of funny stuff all of which is shown in the previews. It goes no where. It was awful. There was funny stuff I'll give it that. Clooney was just smarmy. Ewan MacGregor was certainly .... cute. He was dreamy. Jeff Bridges was funny. I made my reviews just as interesting as I could."

"I had mixed emotions about this film. It was very nerve racking. There was so much that happened that you had to accept and get over. Anyone who was involved with this miscarriage of justice is getting killed while he's in jail. All you need to know is that it's someone that does bad things to keep us safe in this country. It's a renter."

"It was so so good! It put me on the edge of my seat! I enjoyed it. Good eye candy. Jamie Fox was smarmy. Much better than Amelia!"

The Pink Triangles!
It's all about the pink triangles folks!  Yes, every now and then the guys actually discuss movies.  And in doing so, they generally share what they liked or didn't like about the movie, or even the movie-going experience.  We capture a few of those quotes here.  But it really comes down to the triangles.  Here's what they represent:
One Pink Triangle! Stinko. Not worth seeing under any circumstances.
 One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle! Below average. Not worth the cost of admission plus the gas to get to the theater. Wait for it to come to cable.
One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle! A competent, entertaining film. Nothing extraordinary, but certainly worth the ticket price.
One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle! Excellent. Highly recommended.
One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle!One Pink Triangle! A Classic! A must-see film that should absolutely be experienced in a proper theater setting.
