Today we are embroiled in a classic Hollywood murder...or the murder of classic Hollywood in The Player. We discuss the narrative dynamic between the destruction of artist and clawing up the corporate ladder, the frentic unraveling of Tim Robbins in an increasingly unreal world, and what movie we think we're watching as the ending upends the flick. This is one of the best movies about Showbiz ever made.  Synopsis: A hotshot Hollywood studio executive starts receiving death threats from a rejected writer.

Today on New Movie Monday we walk through broken dreams and zombies in We Bury The Dead. We unearth the movie's decision to amp up the heart rather than zombie mayhem, the way the human characters in the film are handling this earth shattering military disater, and the haunting imagery of both the living and the dead. This is a quite but incredible start to this new year. Synopsis: After a catastrophic military disaster, the dead don't just rise - they hunt. Ava searches for her missing husband, but what she finds is far more terrifying.

Today we have the most raucous New Years Eve ever with Gremlins 2.
