FS #261: Away We Go / Drag Me To Hell / Mean Streets / Top 5 Performances by TV Stars
June 12: As everyone knows, Adam and Matty got their start in television on the early '80s sitcom "Mixed Reviews" about two odd couple film critics forced to live in the same apartment. Though the show was short-lived, people still talk about the famous two-part episode "Private Parts, Corporal Danger" in which Adam saves an unsuspecting Matty from the advances of the lascivious nextdoor neighbor (Gordon Jump in an Emmy-winning turn). So the lads were thrilled to discuss this week's "Away We Go...

May 22: If you can hear this, you are part of the Resistance (or probably related to Adam and Matty). It is imperative that you listen to Filmspotting this week. Though the reputation and legacy of the legendary and ground-breaking Terminator franchise (originally launched by director James Cameron in 1984) seems impenetrable, we have detected a weakness. The latest installment in the series, "Terminator Salvation," is out-fitted with legions of intimidating and cool-looking killer machines, bu...

Two humanoid creatures of the Filmspotting species were debating the merits of an early 21st century piece of historical fiction called "Star Trek" from director J.J. Abrams.

I spoke to McQueen at last year's Toronto Film Festival and have been waiting to play the interview until "Hunger" got a theatrical release.

A review of director Ramin Bahrani's newest film "Goodbye Solo" begins innocuously enough, but quickly devolves into a soul-searching, cacophonous, theoretical debate on the very future of film -- so much uproar sparked by a sweet little movie about a chatty Winston-Salem cabby (Souléymane Sy Savané) and his unusual friendship with one of his fares (Red West).
