Dunkirk (2017)

E

We’ve seen Christopher Nolan’s new film, the war epic Dunkirk, and found it hard to immediately react to. It’s a very visceral, claustrophobic, unflinching, and moving film, epic in scale, but equally effective in zooming in to focus on a small number of actual human beings to focus on and care about. It offers views of the best and worst of humanity, and constantly dares you to both judge and empathize with the men dealing death and narrowly avoiding it. Another fantastic film from Nolan.

2017 Emmy Nomination Reactions

E

Long time fans of Bald Move knows we don’t care much for most awards shows, and thus don’t comment a lot on them. But sometimes, the best show on TV gets royally shafted on an award show that purports to recognize outstanding work in the medium, and we just got to talk about it. You might not like The Leftovers, but it’s so galling that it doesn’t even get a nomination for any major category, while stale farts like House of Cards gets lavished with actor, actress, series, supporting actor nomination.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

E

Special thanks to Steven S. and Mozbeet for commissioning one of my favorite films, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, based on the Patrick O’Brian series that are my very favorite books of all time. Thank god Jim thinks it’s awesome too, or there might have been bloodshed. We discuss the film’s historicity and verisimilitude, the unique relationship between Captain Jack and Doctor Maturin, life aboard an 19th century Man o’ War, and I make a pitch for reading the original novels.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

E

Hello, true believers! We have seen Spider-Man: Homecoming, and we pronounce it good. It’s kind of amazing how Marvel seems incapable of making anything less than a top level comic book film, and do enough with casting, set piece design, and slight tweaks to their formula to have even cynics like Jim wanting more. Like I said, it’s amazing. Spectacular, even. We talk briefly about the greatness of the film in a non-spoiler way and then get down and dirty with Mr. Parker in the spoiler section Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Baby Driver (2017)

E

We got to see Edgar Wright’s newest action/comedy/musical, Baby Driver. And it’s glorious. Jim calls it the most entertaining movie of the year. I was blown away by the nerdy charm and magnetism of Ansel Elgort as the titular Baby. He’s the perfect young Harrison Ford. I can’t believe they apparently cast someone who can’t act in the upcoming Han Solo movie, but what are you going to do? See this movie, and imagine if Ansel were cast instead of some forgettable male lead in YOUR favo Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Shutter Island (2010)

E

For this week’s commissioned podcast we got to watch one of the many great collaborations between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, the 2010 psychological thriller, Shutter Island. While neither of us think this movie cracks the top 5 of either gentlemen’s work, it is an effective film with a pretty good twist, and features a solid Leo performance that drifts into “great” territory later in the film, and has great supporting performances in Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Max von Sydow, among ma Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mummy (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron checked out the summer action/horror/Tom Cruise vehicle, The Mummy. A.Ron thinks it’s dumb, but fun, and draws comparisons to Stargate, American Werewolf in London, Hellboy, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Jim thinks it has the kind of fun, swashbuckling, scoundrel flavor found in the Uncharted video game series. So is it a successful start to Universal’s ambitious interconnected monster saga, Dark Universe? We’ll have to see how much money it makes. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fugitive (1993)

E

Special thanks to DrKen for commissioning this 90's thriller, The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford as a doctor wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife evading the dogged pursuit of Tommy Lee Jones as U.S. Marshal. This is one of the tightest films you’ll ever see, effortlessly moving from one set piece to another, drawing strength and vitality from the charisma and presence of it’s two stars.

Will Fargo have enough stuff to overcome the excitement of The Leftovers’ penultimate episode? Then we talk about Silicon Valley (00:05:12 ) and T.J.

Wonder Woman (2017)

E

Hey everybody! DC has made a good post-Nolan superhero movie! Wonder Woman isn’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but Patty Jenkins directs Gal Gadot as a powerful avenging war goddess striding across the battlefield, but instills the heroine with enough human-scaled heart to keep us emotionally engaged. The film looks and sounds great, and Chris Pine is very good as a gender-bent damsel in various distress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

American Gangster (2007)

E

Thanks to our commissioner Josh “Anubus21” from Saxapahaw, NC. Josh selected American Gangster, the 2007 crime drama starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Jim and I had never seen it, but it immediately fit right beside other greats like Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, and Scarface in the pantheon of films about the criminal underworld. It’s a great looking, well written, and extraordinarily acted film, that touches on a lot of Bald Move hot buttons of racism, crime, drugs, and $50k Learn more about your ad choices.

E

You know the drill. Three shows enter, (HBO’s The Leftovers, FX’s Fargo, and AMC’s Better Call Saul) one show makes it out wearing the crown, taking the gold, hoisting the belt, etc. Another tough week with some epic losses of great characters on multiple shows.

Alien: Covenant (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron have seen Alien: Covenant, and declare it to be gorgeous, ambitious, and filled to the brim lofty ideas, but that it’s also really, really stupid. Which is a shame, since that’s a flaw that mired it’s predecessor, Prometheus. Ridley Scott still knows how to shoot a film, no doubt, but has he forgotten how to put smart, sharply defined characters in peril without them being the dumbest, pettiest, most one dimensional humans alive?

Who Won the Week?! Round 4

It’s that time again, time to subjectively rate three dissimilar shows (The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Fargo) for no damned good reason other than that they all have the misfortune to share the same space/time coordinates. This week was even harder to call than normal, and for Jim it came down to an artful final shot, and for A.Ron the combination of a powerful, repulsive villain and an appealing buddy cop team carried the day.

The Handmaid’s Tale, Dear White People, American Gods

E

A.Ron and Cecily give their thoughts on what we’ve been watching the past week. Dear White People on Netflix offers an look inside race relations from the perspectives of black students attending an Ivy League college, The Handmaid’s Tale (00:24:12) offers a horrifying look into a culture where women have no rights to their own minds and bodies, while American Gods (00:47:42) is bewilderingly cool and awesome to look at, and probably a lot more, but we’ll have to get back on you on that one.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

E

We’ve seen Marvel’s latest installment, Gaurdians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and we think it’s pretty great. Some debate can be had about whether it’s as “good” as the first one, but at the end of the day it’s a really good comic book movie. It’s fun, it’s colorful, it’s imaginative, it has the necessary emotional weight to make you connect to the characters and plot, it’s impeccably cast with tons of surprise guest spots, and, perhaps most importantly, it’s funny as hell.

Jackie Brown (1997)

E

Special thanks to all our community commissioners for this podcast. It's for the 1997 Quentin Tarantino movie Jackie Brown, which is based on the classic Elmore Leonard novel, Rum Punch. Awfully good bones to build a movie on, then you add an amazing cast and filter it through a restrained Tarantino lens, and you get something pretty magical that was beyond what Jim and I were expecting.

The Circle (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron have seen the future, and it is The Circle, and we’re not sure if it’s good. This movie, or the future. They’re both kind of a mess. While extremely well cast and for the most part acted, the basic plot is caught between a cautionary tale, a psychological thriller, and a Young Adult novel, and doesn’t manage to pull any facet off well. But it is legitimately thought provoking. You’ll find the spoiler section for this movie to be positively chocked full of provoked though Learn more about your ad choices.

The Wicker Man (2006)

E

Thanks to David Pavlicko and the ProjectorPeople.com for commissioning this very “special” movie, the Nicolas Cage remake of The Wicker Man. This movie is perhaps the epitome of the genre of “crazy ass Nick Cage movies”. It makes no sense, it gives Mr. Cage an excuse to act progressively more and more insane, leading up to the incredible third act which sees him reduced to screaming at Maximum Cage levels, while, for example, having thousands of bees poured down his throat.

The Fate of the Furious (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron loved the hell out of The Fate of the Furious, the eight installment in the Fast and Furious franchise. Great characters, great dialog, great action set pieces, fairly plausible and coherent plot (as far as these things go), and some just hilarious, Three Stooges type slapstick action comedy courtesy The Rock and Jason Statham.

Aliens (1986)

E

Multiple-commissioner Josh from Saxapahaw, NC is back with another goodie, James Cameron’s take on the Aliens franchise. One of the all time great sci-fi action movies, it supplies nearly non stop action with a sturdy heroine to build around, lots of colorful characters to die, implacable, terrifying antagonists, and impressive effect and design work.

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron are surprisingly underwhelmed by the live action version of the classic sci-fi anime, Ghost in the Shell. Unimpressive from a philosophic and even action standpoint, both it’s ideas and stunts seemed largely tired and less alive than the half human half robot protagonist of the movie. The cast and crew give it a valiant try, but ultimately the slavish devotion to the source material is a millstone around the film’s neck that it can never quite shrug off.

Kong: Skull Island (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron have seen the majestic Kong: Skull Island, and are... not underwhelmed. Not overwhelmed, certainly. I'd say we were properly whelmed. This is an expensive, state of the art monster movie, and delivers the goods that you were expecting. Unfortunately, 90% of its best moments are captured perfectly by the movie's trailer, which is a shame, and maybe we shouldn't judge it for that, but there it is.

Logan (2017)

E

Jim and A.Ron are very impressed with the swan song for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in Logan. It's a great film, nevermind a great comic book movie, drawing on our long history with the tortured Wolverine and Patrick Stewart's equally iconic Charles Xavier to generate real emotion as these men struggle at the end of their days. They're both resigned to run away from a world where mutants are a dying species until a young girl with very Loganish gifts is dropped on their doorstep, alone and need of guidance and protection. What follows is gritty, unbelievably violent, and undeniably touching. A fitting final tribute for one of the hardest working men in the comic book movie biz.

A Cure for Wellness (2017)

E

A.Ron and Jim saw A Cure for Wellness, the ambitious but ultimately flawed psychological horror film by Gore Verbinski. It's got a lot of things going for it; a spectacular and committed cast (Mia Goth, Dane DeHaan, Jason Isaacs), great visuals, disturbing imagery galore, yet manages to build very little suspense and ultimately leads up to exactly what you think it will 30 minutes into the film. Which is a problem because you still have two hours of movie left. Ultimately, we can't recommend this film, although we think it was a worthy film making attempt.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

Jim and A.Ron have seen John Wick: Chapter Two, and proclaim it "more of the same", and we mean that as a compliment. There's still some shaky plotting when the action dies down, but thankfully that only happens for five, maybe ten minutes tops and then it's back to headshots and stabbing galore. This film's body count is astronomical, and if you can't find some sort of grim humor in Keanu butchering men and women like so much cattle, then this isn't the film for you.

Hell or High Water (2016)

E

Special thanks to Lindsey Blodgett, who commissioned this podcast by virtue of captaining her Bald Move Fantasy Football League team, "Vamonos Pests" to ultimate victory. She claims a podcast for 2016's Hell or High Water, as her prize. A modern western about bankers robbing the poor of their land and property rights, Hell stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster as outlaws who plan to rob the banks back. They are opposed by Texas lawman Jeff Bridges, who dusted off his Rooster Cogburn character from True Grit to tell this minimalist morality play with some surprising emotional depths. This film is a real showcase for the actors involved, and the performances and dialog are Hell's foremost charm; it was written by Taylor Sherridan fresh off his WGA win for Sicario.

Welcome to the 2016 Baldies Awards, where we honor the outstanding achievements in film and television for the year! This particular episode features what we call "deliberations" which is a behind the scene look at how we arrived at our various picks for the Baldies proper.
