I Finally Watched...

Ari Aster has a very unusual way of creating a horror story... that being said, Hereditary (2018) freaked us both out in ways we'd rather not discuss... but we do and you can listen now! Starring Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, and Alex Wolff.

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is about as classic horror movie you can get and what really makes this film stand out is that it's so incredibly hard to follow (purposely so) Such a cool concept for a movie and we had a blast analyzing the hell out of it! Starring a very young Kurt Russell and Keith David

28 Days Later (2002) is an interesting take on zombie films, but we love every twist and turn this film takes! Starring Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson, and Naomie Harris

Continuing our spooky reviews, we hit up a classic within the horror genre with, A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Directed and written by THE Wes Craven! We follow a group of kids through dream land as they get massacred and turned into human smoothies by the child serial/slasher killer Fred Krueger!

Does anyone remember the 2007 horror vampire movie, 30 Days of Night?? We do and we loved all the gore that comes along with it! Sure this movie has its flaws, but for a slasher vamp film, this is above par! Starring Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston, and Ben Foster

Starting off our horror/Halloween movie watching and review early with The Exorcist (1973), a classic film that has escaped David's and Alain's eyes till now! Not so much a scary movie as it is disturbing and definitely more than either were expecting.

It's sad how The Losers never got a sequel. This high action, comic book adaptation film has an all star cast; including, Idris Elba, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, and Chris Evans. However, since this film was made in 2010, it's before any of them really reached super stardom. While this movie flopped at the box office, we really did enjoy The Losers!

We did The Godfather not too long ago and we wanted our 90th episode to be somewhat monumentous, so we present to you our review and discussion on The Godfather: Part II (1974) Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Al Pacino, reprising his role as Michael and Robert De Niro as a young Vito Corleone. This both sequel and prequel to The Godfather is a masterpiece demanding to be seen! Enjoy!

David and Alain are joined again by Gharrett for another Denis Villenueve film, Sicario! In this over two hour special, the team goes into depth about the movie and direct ever detail of it. They even talk about the sequel and the possibility of a third film to wrap the franchise together!

Starring Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody, The Brothers Bloom is a very stylized Crime Romance Mystery film, by none other than Rian Johnson! We pretty much fell in love with this movie right away, it is an I Finally Watched... favorite!

Originally created by Roald Dahl, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a movie by Wes Anderson and stars George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Jason Schwartzman... it was also partly written by an I Finally Watched... favorite director, Noah Baumbach. We had fun reviewing this short "kids" film.

Have you heard of a small time director, J.J. Abrams?? Of course you have! This film is a perfect blend of nostalgia and sci-fi and it'll have you on the edge of your seat... when its not talking about socio-political views of the 80's. Starring Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, and Joel Courtney

Did you like Birdman? Did you think it deserved to win Best Picture? What do you think the ending meant? We cover all of this and more in our newest episode! David even gets on board with one of Alain's crazy theories! Birdman stars Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, and Edward Norton.

At first Dead Man Down didn't have much hope for being a good flick on the surface, especially once you learn it was produced by WWE Studios (yes, wrestling) however, it need up being a good action flick with a decent story! Starring Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, and Terrence Howard

IFW's second review of an animated movie, an anime if you will. We talk about Spirited Away and what a complicated plot it has and it's beautiful, creative, and imaginative characters.

Calvary is a 2014 Irish drama film written and directed by John Michael McDonagh. It stars Brendan Gleeson, Chris O'Dowd, and Kelly Reilly. By one of David's favorite director's brother, we review a dark comedy about priesthood! A very good film, but you definitely have to be in the right mind frame for this one!

This film is a high paced crime movie, that's just slightly into the noir genre, but do the accents make it boring? And should it even be called Fargo? These are the tough questions we try to answer here on IFW! Starring William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, and Steve Buscemi. 

This is gonna be our last Scorsese film for awhile, but what a movie! Casino really hit all the marks of a classic gangster film, but the ultimate question is ... Is it better than Goodfellas? Starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone!

In a world where Ryan Reynolds is a loser, Chris Klein is the cool guy, and Anna Faris is the annoying one ( wait... maybe that's normal) Welcome to Just Friends, a comedy where a loser comes back to his hometown to win over his highschool crush, but can he get out of the shadow of just being friends?

Usually one would have a US film trying to cater to International audiences, but not with The Great Wall! It's an international film trying to cater to a US audience by starring Matt Damon... AND Willem Dafoe. Maybe something went amiss? Directed by Yo-Mou Zhang, who also directed House of Flying Daggers and Hero.

Watching one of Bong Joon-ho's first films ( His second one) And it's an absolute masterpiece! If you like crime, mystery thrillers and any of Joon-ho's films, like Parasite, then buckle up folks! You're in for a treat!

This is definitely one of those movies that you've heard of, but never thought to watch, because lets be honest... Michael Clayton doesn't sound like an exciting film! But it is... its great! And it has George Clooney in it!

Another Alexander Payne comedy, starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick. Election takes you down the seedy political road of high school and the affairs that take place along with it! But all around its a pretty funny film!

Alexander Payne has an interesting filmography, but Sideways is probably one of his funniest and most down to earth films. Check it out, cause we did and weren't disappointed! Starring Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, and Sandra Oh

Is he a fish or man or fish man? Listen to this episode to fully understand the true meaning behind Guillermo del Toro The Shape of Water! Starring: Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, and Doug Jones
