We make choices everyday…what if some things are destined to happen?  Join Mike and Jeanne as they crack open the DVD vault to review Sliding Doors.  We watch as Helen (Gwenyth Paltrow) takes two paths, and the answer to the what if question of “What would happen if I missed a train or if I got on?” The movie encompasses the different paths intermingled and shown on parrelell views.  Come listen and let us know what you think.  You can always reach us via email at letswatchmovies@gmail.com or the voicemail hotline, (347) BUG-MIKE.  Now click on ahead and enjoy the show.

Sometimes you have a movie that you really like to watch…but just not the whole thing.  You know the kind, maybe the ending itself ruins the movie, or maybe the big reveal at the end makes what seemed like an thoughful intricate movie into something less.  Thats what Mike and Jeanne are going to talk about today, their favorite half a movie.  Be sure to call (347)Bug-Mike that 347-284-6453 with your favorite half a movie, or to enter the t-shirt givaway!

When a teenage girl leaves Phoenix to spend a year with her father in a small town, she knew there would be things that would take some getting used too, she just never though it would be quite this different.  Slowly, she begins to realize that a group of students at the school is not just a little strange, but there is something very different about them.  Soon she learns the truth, there is a family of vampires who have taken up residence in her fathers small town, and she is falling for one of them.

Twilight is a cautionary tale, thinly veiled in the vampire mythos.  Lessons on abstinence and trust are woven throughout the story, and as with any good vampire movie, we get a little lesson in blood feeding.  Love story, Drama, Horror…its a little of everything.  Listen as Jeanne and Mike give you their review of Twilight, the teen vampire movie with a heart.  Availadle now on DVD.  Don’t forget to come back later this week for our premier review of  X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
