The MGCTv Debate: Fantastic Four Casting

Wed, 5 Mar 2014 23:43:31 +0000

Ladies and Germs!! Prepare for an absolute corker of a ‘cast putting the “C” back in MGCTv - thats right! Prof Marvel’s fanboy rage following the announcement of the principal cast for the Fantastic Four reboot was the inspiration behind this one. PapaKenn & JD from InSessionFilm joined us on this one. What followed was a absolute expletive & laughter-ridden half hour debate on the pros & cons of swapping comic book ethnicities - even if you’re not a comic fan - this serves a great window into the mind of the species. ENJOY!!

Gravity - Movie Review

Thu, 24 Oct 2013 22:45:51 +0100

Not to be dissuaded by the disparity in release dates between the Old and New world...MGCTv decided to get Mark & Laura’s take on Alfonso Cuaron’s latest opus. With TheBeast officiating the proceedings...did our US correspondents deem this to be the modern sci-fi classic the collective media are willing it to be?? Listen on to find out!!

Blue Jasmine - Movie Review

Mon, 21 Oct 2013 23:20:44 +0100

Woody Allen’s latest project was released stateside in mid-summer, and eventually made its way onto British soil a fortnight ago just as the Autumn enters its final throes....So Arcturus & Mark got together and examined the merits of Blue Jasmine.....apparently Cate Blanchett puts in a great performance.....

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:12:07 +0100

A welcome entry to the autumn/fall movie season - Ron Howard’s RUSH has generally been well received in Europe amongst the Formula 1 cognoscenti and general audiences.

R.I.P.D - Movie Review

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 12:43:48 +0100

Late to these sunny shores - RIPD finally lands and tries to make a splash in the UK box office. The trailers gave us all the impression that this amounted to little more than a MIB re-imagining. Were we right? BillyQuick, Prof Marvel & TheBeast sat down to discuss it. Enjoy!!

RIDDICK - Movie Review

Tue, 10 Sep 2013 01:43:01 +0100

Completion of a trilogy? Arcturus & BillyQuick certainly hope not!! Director David Twohy teams up with Vin Diesel once more after 8 years to bring back our favourite sci-fi anti-hero of recent times to the big screen. After the mediocre reception that Chronicles of Riddick received, can Vin Diesel’s newly acquired box office midas touch re-energise this franchise? Listen on to hear what the boys thought! Enjoy!

KICK-ASS 2 - Movie Review

Fri, 6 Sep 2013 14:01:59 +0100

So did Jim Carey’s very public denouncement of the violence contained within this movie deter movie fans? OR did it simply fan the flames of publicity? That unfortunately (or fortunately) was NOT the issue when BillyQuick, TheBeast & ProfMarvel sat down to discuss the film! Rather, once again, the comic/graphic novel heavily influenced how this film was received by our crew. Enjoy!
