MYMHM39v - Melvin Goes To Dinner

TOTALLY RAD! Jeff Cannata was hugely supportive of our show in it's first few episodes (plus giving us our first big Twitter push). We couldn't think of a better way to thank him than to have him join us for a film he loves!  It just makes our job THAT much easier when he brings 'Melvin Goes to Dinner'. This indie sweetheart came out of the LA theater scene, and features an INCREDIBLE cast of leads and cameos. Bob Odenkirk has directed a comic and intimate look at strangers ba ...

So we kinda ragged on Christian Bale in our review of Run Lola Run, so to make it up to him (because I'm sure he was very upset about it) we took a look through his catalog to find a movie to talk about. We also realized that we'd yet to cover a guilty pleasure over the top action flick. Kismet. This 2002 flick was the first in a series of films for Bale which would make him a bankable action star, and he doesn't even need to use his Batman voice! Let's take a look at 'Equili ...

See I like it better when vampires are apex predators not hopeless romantics... Just sayin... Shadow of the Vampire is an incredibly fun "what if" movie that does a great job of playing with history. Loosely chronicling the events surrounding the filming of the 1922 horror classic 'Nosferatu', Shadow asks "What if the guy playing the vampire REALLY WAS a vampire?" What results is a really touching examination of old versus new, and the creation of one of the most prima-donna actors in t ...

It's 90s time! This film helped a whole generation of American film fans find foreign films. This Tykwer classic is an incredible mixed media, hyper kinetic, feast for the eyes, with a story that plays with time in an interesting way. It's a near perfect example of what films from the 1990's looked like. Check it out! Also a huge thank you to fan of the show Nicolas Alanou for suggesting we cover a Tykwer movie! Buy 'Run Lola Run' on DVD! Buy 'Run Lola Run' on Bl ...

HAPPY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN! We realized that we wrapped 2009 with a movie titled "hate", and thought we'd start 2010 off on a better note. We could think of few films more joyous than 'Noises Off'. This romp features an incredible cast, fantastic editing, and some of the best gags seen on screen since 'Airplane'. With Juan, Marie, and Lee having worked in theatre, this film brings out some great memories (some funny, some terrifying), and with Dutch never having done any theatre, she ...

Our last episode of THE DECADE! This movie comes to us as a fan request, and we're glad it did. This French film ushered in a new era of cinema realism, and it's quite possibly one that we NEVER would've found we're it not for Jodie Foster and The Criterion Collection...   Buy 'La Haine' (Criterion Collection) on DVD!

We're cheating again! Just like for our Thanksgiving episode, our holiday episode only vaguely has anything to do with the holiday we're celebrating, though it does include one of the funniest gift giving sequences we've ever seen. Cult fave 'Better Off Dead' comes from an era of innocent, silly, satirical film making that we just can't generate any more. Super wacky, but it doesn't take the audience's intelligence for granted. Not to mention almost every line in the film is quotable ...

What's this I see? Another guest episode? With Mitchell FREAKING Whitfield! That's right, Mitchell Whitfield (My Cousin Vinny, TMNT) joins us to talk about this River Phoenix, Lili Taylor gem, a charming film that's a little impossible to describe. Vietnam era comedy/drama/romance, oh and the action takes place almost entirely over one day. PITCH THAT FILM! Come join us as we speak with Mitchell about his experiences working on the film, going to boot camp, and the public and ...

Well lookee here! The big 3-0, and to celebrate, Lee's roommate Tuck joins us to talk about this Fred Zinneman classic!  Apparently this film was mandatory viewing for one of Tuck's ethics classes, but don't let that scare you away. 'A Man For All Seasons' is a smart, funny, moving look at the reign of Henry the VIII, from the perspective of Thomas More.  Featuring an incredible cast, and winning SIX Oscars in 1966, let's see if Tuck can defend WHY you should watch this "ethical ...

Yup! It's our first holiday themed episode, and rather than cheat and go straight to a Christmas movie, we've  dug up a GREAT guilty pleasure flick for Turkey Day.   This is quite possibly the worst reviewed movie we've ever discussed, ranking only 19% over at Rotten Tomatoes, and we love every minute of it! See, this is a near perfect "after turkey coma" flick, and the combination of Ed O'Neill and Ethan Embry (Randall) hamming up a John Hughes road trip script, should provide you ...

We've been a little short on classic adventure movies here at MYMHM, so we thought we'd make up for it with a doozy!  Michael Caine? Check! Sean Connery? Check! Christopher Plummer? Check! Screenplay adapted from a Rudyard Kipling story? Hells yeah! Put it all together and you get the 1975, AFI required viewing , adventure CLASSIC, 'The Man Who Would Be King'! Booyah! Buy 'The Man Who Would Be King' on DVD!

What can we say? We here at Movies You May Have Missed really like J.D. Salinger. So much so, that this film's blatant homage to Catcher in the Rye kinda gave us the warm fuzzies. Igby Goes Down features an incredible cast (with some really unexpected break out performances), great city cinemetography, and a charming story of a wandering youth. Don't be fake! Check it out: Buy 'Igby Goes Down' on DVD! Rent and watch 'Igby Goes Down' instantly using Amazon Video o ...

This is our half-year anniversary, and what better movie to review than the winner of our Last Exit to Nowhere giveaway @charlesyi! His winning selection was 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'. In addition to this being 6 months, a fan selection, and a contest winning entry, it's also our first documentary. KoK follows competetive Donky Kong players as they try to break a high score set TWENTY years before. Have you played Donkey Kong recently? It's REALLY effing hard... ...

Guest episodes are so much fun, and we can think of few finer guests than the lovely Tara Platt . She's a true renaissance woman: on-camera/voice over actress, producer, and now author. She brought the movie this week, and it truly was an MYMHM. This 1998 comedy, starring Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt plus featuring an incredible cast, was completely not on our radar, and pays homage to comedy classics like Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, and The Marx Brothers.  Here's w ...

Take a HILARIOUS ROMP through the world of THREE STRANGERS.... No wait I instantly HATE that movie. Instead take a look at this indie-comedy-drama, featuring three people dealing with loss, expectation and friendship. I think I like that better.   Buy 'The Station Agent' on DVD!

What happens when you take a fairly well respected playwrite, let him write and direct his script, and then cast Colin Farrel, Ralph Fienes, and Brendan Gleeson? You get 'In Bruges' of course! Martin McDonagh's sophmore film venture was lauded with praise last year including an Academy Awards nomination for Best Screenplay, a BAFTA win for Best Screenplay, and a Golden Globes win for Farrel. This crime-drama/dark comedy is ridiculously charming and one we hope you wont miss.   ...
