Eric Melin and Trevan McGee from Scene-Stealers.com review the new Robert Rodriguez exploitation flick Machete starring Danny Trejo. A project Rodriguez was trying to get off the ground for years, he made a Machete trailer and included it in 2007's Grindhouse, but now Machete the full-length film is no longer a dream--it's a reality. See what Scene-Stealers thought of the movie and see clips from Machete in this on-camera movie review.

Inception Movie Review

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Mon, 2 Aug 2010 10:52:00 -0500

Eric Melin and Trevan McGee from Scene-Stealers review Christopher Nolan's new sci-fi action film “Inception,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a corporate dream raider.Nolan directed “Memento,” “The Dark Knight,” and “The Prestige.” He specializes in films that work like jigsaw puzzles while at the same time blending in a good amount of obsessive character traits to make things really interesting. With “Inception,” there is a good 30 minutes or so of fairly drab exposition followed by 90 minutes of the most dense and thrilling cinema you’re likely to experience all year. Be prepared for gravity-defying action like you’ve never seen, a mind-bending narrative, and a mix of CGI and in-camera special effects that looks so real you’d swear the world was really folding in on itself. Nolan orchestrates the entire ambitious movie like it’s the secret back page of the coach’s playbook. It’s complicated and risky and everything has to go just as planned, but if it works—the payoff is everything. And whether you understand all of the plot’s complexities by the end of the film or not, you’ll probably be convinced of one thing—“Inception” pays off in spades.

Eric Melin welcomes guest host and
certified Twihard Kristin Dittmar, who is a member of Team Jacob to
review Twilight: Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight
series. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are back
again as Bella is put in a vampire - werewolf love triangle. Isn't
that the dream of every teenage girl? David Slade takes over as
director and finally there is more conflict than there was in New
Moon, but are the overheated soap-operatic elements to corny and hard
to swallow? Stick around after the review for a Team Jacob vs. Team
Edward showdown!

Toy Story 3 Movie Review

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:00:00 -0500

Eric Melin and Trevan McGee review the
latest from Pixar, Toy Story 3. It's been 11 years since Toy Story 2,
and true fans of the series may be worried that there was no reason to
revisit Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and the rest of Andy's
toys for another installment. Is Toy Story 3 another Pixar triumph or
is it a case of diminished returns like the awful Shrek series from
DreamWorks. Find out about Toy Story 3 in this on-camera review with
clips from Toy Story 3.

This remake of Clash of the Titans stars Sam Worthington as Perseus, the son of Zeus, who goes on a quest to kill the mighty Kraken and save the city of Argos. Does Clash of the Titans hold up?

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:37:00 -0500

Eric Melin and Trevan McGee review Hot Tub Time Machine, the new 2010 raunchy sex comedy from the writer of Grosse Pointe Blank, with a guest appearance by Scooter Jones from You Tube web series The Sports Buddaye. John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke go back in time to party like its 1986. The movie has a lot of similarities to The Hangover and Old School, but does Hot Tub Time Machione live up to the absurdity of its title? Is Hot Tub Time Machine a worthy addition to the 80s time travel canon of Back to the Future? Find out in this review, featuring clips from Hot Tub Time Machine.

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:29:00 -0600

Eric and guest host Trevan McGee (InkKC.com) review the new apocalyptic disaster porn movie 2012 starring John Cusack and directed by Roland Emmerich. The Mayan prophecy says the world will end in 2012, and Hollywood has co-opted that premise for a 2012 disaster flick with lots of state-of-the-art CGI special effects. Is 2012 up to the adventure movie standards of Emmerich, who also did Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow? Does it at least succeed as a 2012 doomsday action movie? Find out in this on-camera movie review of 2012 with clips from the film.

Melin welcomes Trevor McGee from
Inkkc.com back as guest host as they review the new horror comedy
Zombieland, starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and
Abagail Breslin. It's a weird mix of a Judd Apatow romantic comedy
where the geeky guy tries to get the hot girl and an action buddy road
movie, mixed in with some serious zombie ass-kicking. This review also
features clips from the movie. Watch the Scene-Stealers review of
Zombieland to find out all about this new zombieland comedy.

The Informant! Movie Review

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:17:00 -0500

Eric and guest co-host Ryan Magnuson
(The Sports Buddaye) review Matt Damon in the new Steven Soderbergh movie The Informant! which is at least partially based on the true story of an argi-business VP who got into some pretty hot water in the early 1990s. Soderbergh plays the movie for laughs and Damon put on 30 lbs. to play the role, but are they trying too hard? Watch this review
of The Informamt! to find out.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie Review

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:56:00 -0500

Eric and JD from Scene-Stealers review the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Some perspective: JD is a big Harry Potter fan who has read all the books and has liked all the movies.

See clips from the movie and see their reaction a mere hours after a screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Bruno Movie Review

scenestealers.eric@gmail.com (Scene-Stealers.com) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:46:00 -0500

Eric Melin welcomes J.D. Warnock back as co-host for the Scene-Stealers.com review of Sacha Baron Cohen's new reality-prank movie, "Bruno." In the same vein as "Borat," the surprise comedy smash from 2006, "Bruno" follows a strange foreigner to U.S. soil. Larry Charles directed this rude, obnoxious, and terribly offensive comedy from Sacha Baron Cohen. Is Bruno as funny as Borat? Does the same formulas strike lightning twice? Is it too familiar? How much farther does Bruno go than Borat did? Find out in this Scene-Stealers.com review of "Bruno."

The Hangover is about three guys who put together the mystery what happened during a hard night of Vegas partying the night before. The Hangover movie review features scenes from the 2009 movie The Hangover. Eric and Trey agree that Zach Galifainakis' deadpan earnestness steals the show in The Hangover, but is it all its cracked up to be? Does The Hangover deliver in the promise of its trailer? Can The Hangover live up to the hype?
