Vote for Jon in the Top Host Contest here Only 2 more weeks left in our movies that bite month! Today we're reviewing one of the most influential modern zombie films of all time, 28 Days Later. We had to bring back our resident zombie expert Mike Gertreu to get his take on this essential classic. It was a lot of fun looking back at this movie and we can't wait to review the grandfather of...

Vote for Jon in the Top Host contest here Wouldn't be much of a zombie month if we didn't review Zombieland! This fun take on the zombie apocalypse is a wild ride and we're here for it. It's nice to examine an undead movie that doesn't take itself so seriously but also has heart. Keep a lookout for more brain eating fun here at Roll Film.

Please vote for Jon in the Top Host contest here The zombie train just keeps rolling at Roll Film and next stop is Train To Busan.

We'll see you next week for more zany Zombie fun!

Spooky season is upon us here at Roll Film and this year's them is "Movies That Bite." That's right, all month long we'll be reviewing zombie movies and we couldn't do a zombie month without reviewing the brand new offering from the godfather of zombie video games Resident Evil. Director Zach Cregger delivers again with this amazing realistic portrayal of what it would lo...

How do we say goodbye to the legend that is Dolly Parton? To be honest we're not completely sure but here at Roll Film we decided to review one of her best movies and release it on Dolly Parton Day! 9 to 5 is a fun revenge comedy that has one of the best opening songs ever. The whole cast shines and it's wonderful that the kind and generous Dolly Parton has this film to add to her amazing...

If life finds a way so do we here at Roll Film. Honoring the fantastic Sam Neil was no easy task, but we decided to review his most well known movie Jurassic Park. This movie is one of the all time greats and everyone involved deserves to be praised. What a joy it was to revist this classic, and we hope you enjoy listening to our review.

How do you pick just one film to review for the legend that is Tim Curry? You pick one of his favorites! Muppet Treasure Island is beloved by so many and it's easy to see why. What a fun way to say goodbye to one of Hollywood's best bad guys by revisiting this movie that's fun for the whole family!

Well this year isn't over yet but we've already lost so many stars so us here at Roll Film have decided to say goodbye to them by watching some of their best movies. Starting with Hayden Panettiere's 2009 comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper. This teen movie flips the script by having our protaganist profess their affection at the begining of the story and shows us the hilarity that follows....

What better way to end Abrams August with The End of Oak Street? The brand new Abrams produced sci-fi family epic! This was an awesome movie to see in theaters, and fair warning spoilers are discussed, but kind of hard not to. So if you haven't seen it yet please go do that and get ready for an awesome September on Roll Film!

Abrams August continues with his follow up film to Star Trek! Super 8 is very much the younger generation's E.T. or at least it wants to be. Listen to our review as we discuss if it accomplishes that goal. Get ready for next weeks podcast about Abrams newest offering!

Well, if you're going to travel the galaxy, you might show up late. Due to weather conditions in central Ohio we're uploading this week's episode of Abrams August a day late. But let this awesome episode with an out of this world special guest be our apology! Bill Bader returns to Roll Film to help us discuss what makes this reboot such a treat and another excellent addition into Abram...

Summer is almost over, but there's still summer blockbusters to watch! Included JJ Abrams new offering End of Oak Street. To celebrate this new release we're revisiting works that Abrams was inolved with, starting with 2001's thriller Joy Ride. What a great time capsule of a film. We hope you enjoy this review and the other's we provide celebrating one of Hollywood's most creat...

Well we did it, we actually did. We made it to the end of our Greek mythology journey and what better way to end this quest with Christopher Nolan's version of the epic tale The Odyssey? This was so fun to watch and review. We hope you enjoyed this episode and our trip through Hollywood's mythological offerings. We'll see you next month with a whole new theme!

As we continue down our own Odyssey on the way to watch Nolan's Greek epic we find ourselves in the 2010's watching a remake of a mythological masterpiece. Clash of the Titans came out during the 3D craze and while it is visually stunning it misses the mark when it comes to story. Still, a fun film to revisit and shows off some great filmmaking qualities.

Well we can't review the Odyssey without reviewing the prequel! We know those movies aren't actually related other than being based on the same author's work, but Troy was so epic when it came out, but does it hold up? Listen to our review and decide for yourself.

Well it would be a real TRAGEDY if we did a whole Greek mythology month and didn't review Disney's Hercules. So glad we revisited this classic because it truly belongs in the discussion for best Greek mythology movies. Even though they take some liberties with the story to make it kid friendly there is so much homage the stories of old and lots of fun and banger songs for everyone to enjoy.

Roll Film is back and we're taking you on an epic adventure! A journey through movies based on Greek mythology in honor of Christopher Nolans upcoming release of The Odyssey we'll be taking a trip through myth movies old and new starting with what some believe to be the granddaddy of them all Jason And The Argonauts. While dated this movie shows of some legendary special effects that all c...

Well Indpendent Film month comes to a close here at Roll Film, but our indepdence wil never end! We decided to conclude this month with the magical surreal, comedy, horror Dave Made A Maze. Hard to fully explain what movie is about but there's no denying it's awesome. Thanks for joining us all month long and we'll see you in July for our Greek Mythology month!

Roll Film would be remiss to do an independent movie month and not review Clerks. This crown jewel of indy film making still crushes it to this day. Listen as the Roll Film crew talk about what Clerks means to them and how it set the stage for following your dream.

Indy month rolls on with Roll Film and we are reviewing the classic indy film Swingers. This movie launched some amazing careers, it manages to be funny and heartfelt at the same time. We hope this and all of our independent reviews inspire future filmmakers to get out and create!

Welcome to Independent Film Month all May on Roll Film and we are kicking this month off with an amazing episode featuring writer/director/actor Seven Martini!

Celebrating Greg comes to an end (and we'll never do it again). So to celebrate Greg one last time we brought in his most special guest, his son Jack!
