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.

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.

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

Oz the Great and Powerful (Extended)

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
