Hey there! In honor of the July 4th holiday, we'll take a look back at a very patriotic 90s flick, Air Force One. This brawny action epic stars Harrison Ford as the American president, and Gary Oldman as a Euro-sleaze villain. Enjoy! Next week, we'll have a drawing to select our next series and the movies to go with it. Should be a lot of fun! #Cinemavino #90s #AirForceOne

Welcome! This episode will be a solo pod, which I haven't done since the early days of Covid. It's just you and me, and it's pretty fun! For this installment, I'll take a look at a movie I've always wanted to review for this pod: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. It fits neatly into our dystopian sci-fi series, which will continue next week with Zardoz!

Welcome! This week is a one-off of a movie I\'ve wanted to do for a long time: Warren Beatty\'s epic Dick Tracy. It\'s a lavish take on the iconic comic strip character from the Depression. With an all-star cast and Oscar-winning songs, this is a blockbuster hit that now flies under the radar. Enjoy!

Welcome back! This week, we look at another timely, underrated film, Wag the Dog. It's directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and co-written by David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross). The cast is also prime, with Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman leading a large ensemble. The film is a late 90s political satire, in which the US president stages a fake war to avoid a massive sexual scandal. Sound familiar...

Welcome! With the resounding success of the Artemis mission to the moon, it seems like great time to look back at Ryan Gosling's take on Neil Armstrong, First Man. It's an intimate and epic look at a historical figure who was both enigmatic and introverted. Armstrong was a reluctant icon, and Gosling nails this portrayal. Enjoy! #Apollo #TheMoon #Artemis #ArtemisII #NASA

Hey everyone! Like movie fans everywhere, we mourn the passing of Robert Duvall. He's a cinematic icon with tons of Oscar-worthy roles.
