| BOND NEVER DIES - Quantum of Solace | |
| 6/20/2009 | Download File (77.94 MB) - right click to download | |
| After going up against enormous odds in 20 previous films, James Bond came roaring back with Daniel Craig in CASINO ROYALE, firmly establishing a new Bond for the 21st century and creating a successful reboot for the franchise. Now 007 is taken into newer territory by embarking on a direct sequel to the previous installment, seeking his own QUANTUM OF SOLACE. With a new director on board, Bond is thrown into the shakey-cam-quick-cut chase genre in what has become not only the shortest Bond film to date, but also one of the most debated. Join John and Andy as they get their new assignment for the 22nd Bond adventure in the SAGA OF 007. | |

| In the modern age of theatrical film screening, the IMAX brand stands head and shoulders above the rest. Combining awesome size and spectacular sound, the IMAX experience has helped make the IMAX brand one of the most unique theatrical experiences ever. However, now IMAX has moved into the multi-plexes with a new screen and projector systems which they are still calling the IMAX experience. Same? Different? Irrelevant? Join in as the Saloon measures the screen and -The Experience- and dives into the conversation. | |
| Saloon Shots 5 - Down Rated | |
| 5/15/2009 | Download File (16.42 MB) - right click to download | |
| We live in a time where Hollywood is so scared of opening night box office reports that they are willing to manipulate a film in order to receive a specific MPAA rating. The rating they desire is, of course, dictated to create the most broad mass appeal avaliable. Why not bring the kids to see a Terminator film, shouldnt it be for everyone? (Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13) | |
| Saloon Shots 4 - IronHypinitas | |
| 5/14/2009 | Download File (19.43 MB) - right click to download | |
| The act of over-hyping a good film into something more than it really is. This condition was first reported in the early 21st century when multiple film after film continued to disappoint audiences and then suddenly a good film comes out that doesn't suck. But what would normally end there has a new life...a life of mega-hype and unrealistic expectations that elevate the quality and status of what used to be just a good movie. | |
| Saloon Shots 3 - Senequelphobia | |
| 5/13/2009 | Download File (20.76 MB) - right click to download | |
| In today's cluttered, branded marketplace, the early perception of a film can make or brake an opening weekend. A recent case of announcing a sequel to a film months before it's release has become commonplace. This senequelphobia, or fear of not announcing a sequel before a film opens is sweeping the halls of Hollywood like a virus on a rampage. No branded property is safe as a standalone feature anymore. Without announcing a sequel in advance, the audience might think it's not very good or worthy of a sequel. So senequelphobia settles in and executives everywhere are now spending more and more time plotting exactly when to release the announcement of the sequel, sometimes even before the first trailer or poster is released. | |

| The new age of 3-D is springing from screens all across America, but for Regal Cinemas, a line has been drawn in the sand. As the studios continue to search for new ways to entertain AND cut costs, the idea of passing the buck of 3-D glasses onto the backs of the theater owners is opening an entire new discussion. Should the theaters owners consume even more profit losses while bowing down to threats from the studios? Join John and Andy at the bar stools as they line up the glasses and dive into the conversation. | |

| After another summer of pop and circumstance and a long cold winter of creation, what kind of crops is Hollywood planting for the future? With the proliferation of sequels, remakes, reboots and rip-off's, it seems that corporate branding has replaced any chances of original movies being created in today's assembly line environment. Now returning from the lost wilderness of Tinseltown's past, Andy and John break out the garden tools and go to work digging into Hollywood's latest strategy for self-mutilation. What happens when Hollywood stops planting new franchise seeds for the future? Where do we go when the crops are dead? | |

| Before 2001, Raging Bull, The Terminator, E.T., JFK, Safe, Star Wars, Back To The Future, Boogie Nights, Pulp Fiction, Do The Right Thing and sex, lies and videotape...they were just young movie watchers with a dream. A passion. A cinematic vision so strong that no force on Earth would be able to stop the creation of their first works as filmmakers. From the black and white student films of 16mm, to home grown Ektachrome Super 8 movies to VHS flicks edited with two VCRs, the early talent and creativity of these filmmakers was in full force years before they directed their first feature films. Now John and Andy go back to film school and reach deep into the celluloid closet to unearth these Early Works and learn how these youthful building blocks of discovery would later produce some of the most important motion pictures and filmmakers of the late 20th century. | |

| It was 1978. Leaves were falling, children were laughing and Michael Myers escapes from a sanitarium fifteen years after killing his sister on Halloween. A little town called Haddonfield was in for a big shock the night HE came home. Thirty years and nine films later, the legacy and legend of Michael Myers, The Shape and Halloween are now inseparable. Before Jason, before Freddy, before Pinhead and before remakes, John Carpenter and Debra Hill set out to make a low-budget thriller about babysitters in danger. The resulting film would go on to haunt audiences all over the world and forever change the meaning and menace of Halloween. Now, Andy and John walk the bloody streets of Haddonfield to backtrack the phenomenon of the Halloween films and the continuing influence over horror filmmaking today.
