Noah (Extended)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

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)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

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)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

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.

The Thing 2011 (Extended)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

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)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

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

Oz the Great and Powerful (Extended)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

In 2013 Sam Raimi decided to try something a little out of his wheelhouse of horror or comic book movies and directed a Wizard of Oz prequel focusing on the great and powerful wizard. Starring James Franco (RIP), Michelle Williams, Milla Kunis and Rachel Weisz it details his arrival into the mystical land, the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West and how the wizard has always been a dog of a bloke. Not a bad one to be honest. Anyways, thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

Despite the first Hellboy underperforming at the box office home DVD sales meant a sequel still moved forward resulting in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army in 2008. And the result is a film that’s bigger, funnier and with more golden armies than ever. With Ron Pearlman, Doug Jones and Guillermo del Toro firing on all cylinders it’s not wonder people are still asking for the sequel that will never come.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Extended)

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

What started as a fairly simple slasher premise (robot gets sent back from the future to kill the mother of the future saviour of mankind but also she gets sent a human protector whom also happens to be the childs father) very quickly evolved into one of the biggest action movies of all time. Terminator 2: Judgement Day has both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton return as the T-800 and Sarah Connor in a race to prevent the future war and protect John Connor from the T-1000, a mimetic polyalloy machine, aided by ground breaking abilities/special effects. Great movie. No notes

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

The Terminator 1984 is an absolute all out sci-fi action classic. The brainchild of director James Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd it introduced the world to the titular Terminator as played by then rising star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor the mother of future savior John Connor along with Michael Biehn as Kyle Reece a soldier sent back through time to protect Sarah. Essentially an extremely well executed slasher movie it holds up extremely well some four decades later and kicked off a franchise that like the Terminator itself refuses to die.

Sure there’s some fun stuff in it like breath verification and a basketball shot people won’t shut up about but other stuff like the xenomorphy/human hybrid just fall flat.

Posted on by Caravan of Garbage

Opinions of Alien 3 are certainly divided. Off the back of the terrific first two entries expectations were high for the return of Ellen Ripley, Hicks and Newt but things didn’t exactly turn out well for 66% of those characters. Taking things back to the single monster scare of Alien 1979 David Fincher does his best to elevate the story whilst constantly wrestling with the studio with what resulted in a movie he still very much hates to this day. But Alien 3 is certainly not without it’s redeeming qualities. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review
