On This Week’s Show: With Neil hobnobbing at SXSW and getting swamped with festival coverage and all those awesome parties, Kevin punts the show with two special guests. Chris Alexis from 7mpictures.com joins him for three segments while from NightsAndWeekends.com comes on for one of the middle segments to review a couple films. Kevin lashes out against rape depictions on screen before getting Chris’s take on some recent movies – including all of the selections from last week and the superhero fizzle Watchmen.

Films Reviewed this Week: Knowing, Duplicity and I Love You, Man.

Episode 107 – Race to the Fat House on the Left

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil admits to slacking on his movie-watching duties, but Kevin gives him a pass because there’s a lot of prep to be done for the SXSW Film Festival in Neil’s adopted home-town of Austin, TX. Kevin also brags about the fact that he finally broke down to the Apple cult and bought an iPhone. The Fat Guys talk about nudity (or some lack thereof) in the new film Miss March, how much Neil is a pansy for never seeing the original Last House on the Left and why Kevin convinces Neil that Race to Witch Mountain is something he might like. Also, bonus interview cuts in the third segment with Miss March directors/writers/co-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore. Kevin asks the tough questions no one else does.

Films Reviewed this Week: Race to Witch Mountain, Last House on the Left and Miss March.

The "Disney View" of "Pinocchio"



pinocchiodvdLegendary Disney artist Toby Bluth explains the process of “Disney View,” which enhances the BluRay experience of the 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition of “Pinocchio.”

BY KEVIN CARR

Over the years, the Walt Disney Company has treasured its classic animated films, bringing them out of the vault periodically for limited releases on home video. Once digital home entertainment took hold with the public, Disney has given its most revered films for releases in Platinum Editions, which feature multi-disc releases and restored footage and sound, plus plenty of bonus features.

Now that the BluRay hi-def format is widely available, Disney is moving their Platinum releases to this new superior format. The most recent Platinum Edition is the 1940 classic “Pinocchio,” which is getting a 70th anniversary release on March 10, 2009.
