The Film With Three Brains

Super Duper Sonny Hooper is a fearless, aging stuntman about to be one-upped by the new kid in town. Burt Reynolds smiles his way through this lighthearted action flick, but can his car make the jump... into the hearts of 21st century filmgoers?

Albert Brooks finds himself on trial in the afterlife in this tightly scripted postmortem romcom. With Meryl Streep and Rip Torn flawlessly costarring one has to winder if this film needs any defense. Hear us judge.

From skid row scamp to rich Hollywood "Tramp," Robert Downey Jr. portrays Charlie Chaplin living out the immigrant's dream in America. This groundbreaking filmmaker was not without his flaws, but did they carry over to his star-studded biopic? We are not silent about this film. (Free on Amazon Prime, Randy.)

Charles Bronson plays an itinerant, laconic bare-knuckle boxer during the Depression in this acclaimed fight flick. James Coburn occupies the opposite side of the spectrum as his verbose, gambling-addicted loudmouth of a (mis)manager digging himself out of a hole with gangsters. Is the movie still a knockout or does it barely scrape by?

Controversial as he was transcendent, Ali goes for a "Rumble in the Jungle" to reclaim his stripped title. Put on your headphones and let 3 non-boxing brains nibble your ear. Is this flick a rope-a-dope? Or worth another round?

Christian Slater is a teenage loner who kicks the proverbial hornet's nest at his new high school while airing his teen angst over pirate radio. Should you tune in "Hard Harry's" Gen X broadcast and Pump Up The Volume or switch it off? Everybody knows... do you?

A punk rock sci-fi comedy satire starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton! Genius filmmaking or just a plate of shrimp? Hear our special guest reviewer philosophize.

Tim Allen leads an all-star cast into space. This goofy sci-fi satire rises above the cheap shots of a spoof - but is it a movie we should never give up? Never surrender?

"That stuff'll kill you" seems to be the motivator for this not so subtle horror-esque satire reminding us that we don't know what's in our food. We do know what's in the movie: goofy karate, silly detectives, and killer Marshmallow Fluff fill in the cracks. But does it have the right... Stuff?

Blackmail, murder, hidden identities. The usual mystery ingredients are spiced up by Daryl Zero - world's greatest agoraphobic detective. Is this understated mystery romcom too subtle? Is passion the enemy of precision? Can you only rent silence? We speak up.

Can anyone not named John Hughes make a decent teenage movie? Patrick Dempsey rents popularity but does this nerd actually "buy" love in the end? Does hanging out with cheerleaders make you cool? See how your answers match with the key. (Disclaimer: Key created by The Film with Three Brains dorks).

Steven Seagal is a Brooklyn cop out for revenge, out for violence, out for bad accents, out for goofy knee fighting, but is he Out for Justice? Let us tell you something...

A farce during the Holocaust? Roberto Benigni directs himself as an audacious Italian Jew in service of an even more audacious premise -- laughter can brighten our darkest moments. Bold, bad, blasphemous, brilliant? With which brain do YOU agree most?

When you Ish upon a Tar Makes no difference who it stars. Slapstick espionage Leaves a scar. Oh look, it's Charles Grodinnnnnnnn.

Looking to share Halloween with the man of your dreams? Spunky, striped-sweater'ed night owl seeks to kill time with that special someone. Tune in at midnight, sharp. Happy Halloween!

A nerdy high schooler races the clock to dodge an after-school fight wit the new bully on the block in this oft-overlooked teen comedy. Our first surprise guest confesses the profound influence this movie had on his life!(?) Parking lot, 3 o'clock - let's go!

John Cusack and Dan Ackroyd carry this hitman-high school reunion mashup. Comedy, romance, action and a killer soundtrack. But does it still hit its mark? We aim to find out.

This trippy, nearly incomprehensible Japanese horror film filled with soon-to-be-dead teenage girls almost paved the way for a Lady Godzilla who shoots fire from her "bazookas." Join in, 'cuz your curiosity can't resist this click bait!

This cult classic contains Kung Fu, monsters, ancient Chinese secrets, a nosy lawyer and Kurt Russell claiming, "It's all in the reflexes." Hear our super extra special guest reviewer expound why all other movies suck.

While "Without Warning" predates "Predator" by 7 years, both star Kevin Hall as an alien hunter stalking humans in the woods. Stick around. Hear what makes a creature feature tick, fizzle, or explode!

Today the world really is a stage and everyone is auditioning, so what does a 1980 musical about a high school for the performing arts in gritty NYC have to offer? Tune in and wake up, class is in session.

A boy and his Wyld Stallyn become besties on a desert island after a boat wreck. Is this feel good flick more creative than naming a Black Stallion, "The Black?" Listen up, neighsayers.

Sentimental and slapstick, is it more than Robin Williams's DJ schtick that makes this comedic war flick click? Tune in quick for this week's pick.

Waterworld  waterman, does whatever a watering can. Toes are webbed, gill-ed head, over budget, box office dead.  We spout . . . about the water maaaan!

Our first foray into anime paved the way for films like The Matrix and Avatar. But was this seminal sci-fi flick titillating or were we cyber "punked"?
