    Die Hard Is The Sequel To The Book Seven Samurai Wrote On Action | CineFix Top 100
    Dec 22 2024
    Die Hard landed in 1988 among a murderer’s row of great movies and came out of it as perhaps the most iconic of them all. It was a coming out party for Bruce Willis the action star and Alan Rickman the villain and invented a whole new sub-genre of bottle episode action cinema. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how John McTiernan learned all the right things from Akira Kurosawa action, why the movie doesn’t matter if it isn’t about marriage and how Alex can’t keep holding her grudge against the movie. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm doesn’t ever want to hear about the Die Hard / Christmas movie debate again...

  • Planet of the Apes HAD to Star a Big Old Jerk | CineFix Top 100

    Planet of the Apes HAD to Star a Big Old Jerk | CineFix Top 100
    Dec 15 2024
    Planet of the Apes was a franchise spawning phenomenon in the late 60s. Living in the center of the sci fi spectrum, it wore its b-movie camp on its sleeve right next to relevant social commentary. With Charlton Heston playing opposite some revolutionary make up effects, off a script by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and a former HUAC blacklist-er, Planet of the Apes took everyone by surprise. Clint, Alex and CineFix’s senior Apes Correspondent Scott Collura talk about the impossibility of watching this movie in proper context, the genius and often overlooked score, how The Simpsons lovingly spoils classic film and creative new ways to pronounce Orangutan. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm hates every ape it sees, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee...

    The Truman Show Makes You Its Main Character (And You Might Be The Villain) | CineFix Top 100
    Dec 8 2024
    There was not a faster rising star in the mid 90s than Jim Carrey. After an 18 month window that gave us Ave Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, The Mask and Batman Forever, it was a little surprising to see him take a more dramatic role in Peter Weir’s The Truman Show. The story of Truman Burbank slowly discovering that he’s the unwitting star of a lifelong reality TV show marked a real turning point in his career. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the overlooked greatness of key grips, how the film was both ahead of its time AND very of its time and how staggeringly good Laura Linney is. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm says there’s no more truth out there than in the world it created for us...

    The Dark Knight’s Best Line of Dialogue Is Coming True | CineFix Top 100
    Dec 1 2024
    “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The Dark Knight landed in the middle of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy like an escaped Arkham inmate with the superpower to create prestige cinema in a world of comic book. The middle act of a three part re-telling of Bruce Wayne’s origins as the caped crusader find him squaring off against the Joker in a battle for nothing less than the soul of Gotham. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss Heath Ledger (of course), the breathless pace of the editing (that sometimes works against the movie) and whether or not The Dark Knight’s legacy has been tarnished by the superhero bubble we’re currently in the midst of. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm wonders if you want to know how it got these scars...

    Toy Story Is One of the Most Consequential Movies Ever Made | CineFix Top 100
    Nov 17 2024
    Toy Story tells the tale of the sentient toys of Andy’s bedroom who come to life when we’re not looking. While an out of context synopsis of the movie sounds like a horror movie, the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear would turn out to be an impossible to understate influence on the entire film industry. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about believing your toys are real, how film history can be split into the eras of pre and post Toy Story and what’s REALLY the most unrealistic part of the movie.. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is blowing up Combat Carl’s in its backyard...

    One of Us Does NOT Like Kill Bill Vol. 1 | CineFix Top 100
    Nov 10 2024
    Kill Bill, the two part revenge epic from Quentin Tarantino, is a bloody, pulpy, pastiche fueled homage to martial arts and spaghetti westerns. But is the story of The Bride and her quest to take out the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad original? Or is it just a greatest hits mix tape of borrowed tropes? Or does that even matter? Clint, Cal and Alex talk about that, plus the proper deployment of bleeps, Samurai honor and an easy Halloween costume. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm needs Japanese steel...

    OSS 117 Is Pitch Perfect Connery Era Bond Parody | CineFix Top 100
    Nov 3 2024
    OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is the story of a French spy bumbling his way through an investigation into a Middle East arms deal in 1950s Egypt. Equal parts James Bond and Inspector Clouseau, as much Sean Connery as Peter Sellers, the team that would go on to a big night at the Oscars for The Artist first cut their teeth on the aesthetics of mid-century espionage flicks. Clint, Cal & Alex discuss the brilliant use of old school techniques like rear projection and day-for-night, how to stop short of running a bit into the ground and how this is the most Clint-ass movie of all time. Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm hears the herring is also good and will get you a side order to judge for yourself.

    Alien is a B-Movie Done In an A+ Way | CineFix Top 100
    Oct 27 2024
    Ridley Scott dropped Alien in 1979 and, just 2 years after Star Wars hit the idea that Sci Fi wasn’t bankable with the Death Star, gave us not only one of the most enduring science fiction classics, but a terrifying haunted house movie to boot. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss Newcomer of the year nominee Sigourney Weaver, how Ripley isn’t the main character of the movie (for most of it) and why the single most ambitious shot in the entire film might not be the one you think it is. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm decided this episode is priority, all other considerations are secondary, the Top 100 crew… expendable...
