I have to admit that I was a bit worried as 2013 wound down. While there were plenty of movies I enjoyed, there were few that screamed to be put on my Best of the Year list. Fortunately, as seems to happen every year, there were a handful that came through at the end of the year during the furious race of award season that made the grade. Still, this list seems rather lopsided to me, with half of the films being science fiction in nature. In a way, this is one of the more mainstream lists I’ve made in recent years, but there are a few artsy gems in there as well. The biggest surprise for me: no animated films.

This Week: The Halloween month continues, and so does at least one horror movie release. Even though it wasn’t screened locally, Kevin and Kristin talk about the Carrie remake as well as the goofy prison movie Escape Plan with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other films on the docket include The Fifth Estate, which they swear they didn’t stream off a pirate server, and Paradise which puts Julianne Hough’s acting ability against that of Russell Brand playing Kevin’s father. Then, it’s on to DVD recommendations and some bizarre news shenanigans involving Madonna, the real Captain Phillips and Charlie Hunnam opening a path to Kevin’s superstardom as a motion picture sex symbol.

This Week: Kristin and Kevin continue with the Halloween banter and actually get a chance to talk about a horror movie again for October. But first, they take a look at the big movies Captain Phillips and Machete Kills. They also revisit All the Boys Love Mandy Lane from a press screening in 2007. There’s also a drive-by on the new Romeo and Juliet film, and Kevin expresses his desires for the movie to have more robots and monsters in it (along with his desire for Captain Phillips to be about Popeye). They also chew through some movie news (with a nod to a Star Wars story) and some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.
