Daredevil 2003 (Extended)

Daredevil 2003 came in the a wave of Marvel comic book success stories like Blade, Spider-Man and X-Men. Ben Affleck’s Matt Murdoch however didn’t manage to reach those same heights despite being a pretty solid action movie. For the time. How could it not with Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, Colin Farrell in his first comic book villain role as Bullseye and Jennifer Garner as Elektra who recently returned in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Captain America: Civil War (Extended)

Captain America is back and this time he wants to beat up Iron Man! In wrapping up our look at the Steve Rogers Captain America trilogy we take a look at the biggest entry, Civil War. After Tony Stark again begins to feel bad about being a bad bloke he backs the General Ross drafted Sokovia Accords which means more regulations for any enhanced beings. This acts as the introduction of both Spider-Man and Black Panther and divides The Avengers into two distinct teams who beat each other up in an airport among other physical activities.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Extended)

We’ve reached what many consider to be the pinnacle of the MCU, 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Taking place after the events of The Avengers we again see Steve Rogers adjusting to the modern world and delves into the grey area surrounding his work in the modern day. Also Hydra is back! And a mysterious assassin wearing a mask with a metal arm who may have ties to Captain America’s past! Also Nick Fury does some really cool stuff for what is probably the last time.

Captain America: The First Avenger (Extended)

We’re back with the first Caravan Of Garbage for 2025, Captain America: The First Avenger. In the lead up to Brave New World we take a look back at the first in the trilogy and the introduction of Chris Evan’s portrayal of Steve Rogers. Acting as a prequel in the MCU timeline it takes us back to his battles with the Red Skull and Hydra during the events of World War II. Directed by The Rocketeer’s Joe Johnston and also starring Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine it managed to lay the groundwork for future installments on top of being an absolutely cracking adventure movie in its own right. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended)

In 2003 The Lord of the Rings trilogy came to it’s stunning conclusion with The Return of the King. Everything has been building to this moment, Aragorn ascenending to the throne, Frodo and Sam fast approaching Mount Doom, Merry and Pippen picking they’re own teams and Legolas…killing an elephant or something. Sweeping the academy awards with 11 wins and pulling in over a billion dollars Middle Earth had never been bigger! And it never would again. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended)

A mere year after the first entry in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy came The Two Towers, not simply a rehash of what came before but a vastly different continuation of the story. With the fellowship split up, Frodo and Sam making for Mordor with the one ring, Merry and Pippin hanging out with a talking tree and Aragon, Legolas and Gimli helping defend Rohan at Helms Deep things ramp up in a big way. Also Gandalf is back and he’s got a new style and powers and stuff. Thanks for watching our Caravan of Garbage review.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended)

In 2001 kicked of the start of a remarkable trilogy of films, live action adaptations of The Lord of the Rings beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring. From director Peter Jackson and filmed in his home country of New Zealand these movies have served as the pinnacle of blockbuster cinema managing to perfectly balance heart, action, spectacle, model work and CGI. With an incredible cast of mostly unknowns including Elijah Woods, Seasn Astin, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies, Dominic Monaghan and the late great Christopher Lee.

Noah (Extended)

In 2014 Darren Aronofsky hit us with the Russell Crowe lead biblical epic Noah. A bold and accurate(?) retelling of the classic Old Testament tale of one man and his family in a quest to help God kill everyone on earth but not all the animals, just most of them. This concludes our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy for 2024, but don’t worry we’ll definitely return to more down the line. Probably like Robin Hood or whatever I dunno. Thanks for listening!

Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World (Extended)

We’re back to continue on our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy, a peak into three Russell Crowe historical epics. This week it’s 2003’s Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a critically lauded nautical adventure that didn’t quite reach the audience it needs to warrent a sequel. Also featuring the likes of Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd and James D’Arcy it’s well worth of look if this one happened to pass you by. Thanks for watching out our Caravan Of Garbage review

Gladiator (Extended)

In the year 2000 Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe successfully brought swords and sandals cinema back to the big screen with Gladiator! An epic tale drenched in revenge, blood and sand in what has since been considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Featuring a young Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielson, Djimon Hounsou, Richard Harris and the final performance from Oliver Reed we also get into the bizarre sequel we nearly got before an official Gladiator II hits cinemas in 2024. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

The Thing 2011 (Extended)

In 2011 Universal had the absolute audacity to release a prequel to John’s Carpenter’s The Thing telling the story of the Norwegian camp we briefly saw in the original. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton in the lead it seems as if a genuinely solid attempt was made at recapturing the magic of the first before studio interference didn’t do justice to the original practical special effects by papering them over with rushed CGI, diminished character moments and re-edited story beats. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The Thing (Extended)

John Carpenter’s The Thing from 1982 we treated incredibly harshly upon it’s initial release. Labelled disgusting and mean on arrival audiences gradually turned around on it with it becoming one of the greatest horror movies of all time. With an incredible central performances from the likes of Kurt Russell and Keith David, ground breaking special effects from Rob Bottin, a haunting and terrifying atmosphere and an amazing score from the legendary Ennio Morricone it’s probably the best thing that’s ever happened to humanity. No cap. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
