Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: As 2010 rolls to a close, the Fat Guys roll into the Magical Studio in the Sky, braving phlegm and other ailments to talk about the best and worst of the year and maybe review a movie or two. They stutter their way through a review of The King’s Speech and also get nasty-sexy with a review of Blue Valentine. Then in the infamous third segment, the Fat Guys respond to an irate listener voice mail before talking about their picks for best and worst of 2010. All of this is wrapped up in the final minutes of 2010 with some of the most lackluster DVD and Blu-ray picks in months. Should old acquaintance be forgot… Bring on 2011!

The 10 Most Mediocre Films of 2010

Posted on



BY KEVIN CARR

This past year had some good films. It also had some great films. And yes, it had some bad films as well. Such is the case for any year, but what stood to me the most was the wash of mediocre movies that hit the screens. These were films that were okay to watch but not great. They defined “meh” and just didn’t rise above any sort of scrutiny. Not much more can be said about the entries to this list, except for the fact that they were all just stunningly okay.

The 10 Worst Films of 2010

BY KEVIN CARR

10. CONVICTION
conviction_2010
Each year, some films try so hard to win awards that they become mockeries of themselves. “Conviction” was such a movie, featuring a woman trying to exonerate her brother for murder. Like last year’s “Amelia,” no amount of good acting from Hillary Swank could save this film from the wash of award movie cliches that were thrown at the screen.

The 10 Best Films of 2010

10. MACGRUBER
IF
I may be the only person in the known universe to find this movie funny (or to have actually seen it in the first place), but I’m okay with that. Considering the desolate minefield of unfunny SNL adaptations that have roamed the planet, it was nice to see a flick that actually made me laugh. It worked as a spoof movie and as a send-up of 80s action flicks. And it was classic MacGruber.

Episode 194 – The Big Fat Christmas Special 2010

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: As one big fat guy plans on sneaking into your house in the middle of the night, two other fat guys seek to entertain you as they talk about the new movies of Christmas week. Of course, it’s not hard to be entertaining when you’re looking at drivel such as Little Fockers and Gulliver’s Travels. At least there’s a Coen Brothers movie in the mix with True Grit. Neil only sees the good film this week, and Kevin is so traumatized by Little Fockers that he can’t even make a good stripper joke. Finally, the Fat Guys lay down a Fat Guy Five about the most insane (and only sometimes awesome) Christmas movies out there. Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from the Magical Studio in the Sky.
