But NOT in Little China...

I mean COME ON! Who DOESN'T love Dave Barry? That's what I thought, NOBODY! So, why wouldn't you watch a movie adaptation of his 1999 comedy crime classic?

When you consider it's directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and has an incredible 'Get Shorty'-ish cast, you kind of owe it to yourself to check out this often overlooked gem.

And of course, a special MYMHM Shout Out of Honor to friend and fan of the show Bryan Hoerber, who protects his tweets on twitter, or I'd tell you to follow him. He does however run a blog that you can harrass him at KI6ILS.com!

We're taking a break from the official Movie Shout Out this week to prepare for our first Movie Watch-Along (THE HURT LOCKER - tonight, Saturday, 7PM PST) and we hope that you all can particpate either on Google Wave or Twitter.

But considering what is going on this weekend, we thought we'd throw out a question just for fun (and for those who cannot join us for the Watch-Along). 

Who is going to win in your favorite category at the Oscars this year?

We're suckers for Oscar stuff...

It's a DOUBLE MOVIE EPISODE!

After covering Equilibrium, we wanted to find some more fun, over the top action, and you can't really do better than 'District B13' and 'Chocolate'.

Even though one movie is from France and the other is from Thailand, they both feature crazy Parkour stunts and kickboxing. I guess kickboxing is the new Kung Fu...

Happy Sunday! It's Movie Shout Out Response Time!

Yesterday's question was:

Which of the 42 films that we have covered HAD you missed?

We were really happy to see that many of you were familar with some of these amazing flicks.  Check out your responses below:

I guess you mean which movies we've seen because of the show? If so ... Run Lola Run, Word Wars, REC, and The Omen is in my netflix queue right now.

I missed Run Lola Run, and STILL HAVEN'T SEEN IT!!! What kind of person am I?!?
@JimmyDelicious via Twitter

Well that would be a lot, but there are a few I haven't even heard of; my dinner with melvin, the station agent and the informants, among others.BTW a lot of your movies have been on my "list".
Mudassir C via Facebook

i must say I haven't seen Pontypool, sounded to Welsh for me ;-).  I get enough people calling me Welsh because of my name.
@Nebuchanezer via Twitter

Of the 42, I had seen only 4 before you guys covered them. Of the ones I hadn't seen before you guys covered them, my favorites were probably The Fall, The five obstructions and Primer.

3,8,10,13,14-19,20,23,24,27,32-35,39,42 - So quite a a few
@ealcantara via Twitter

Considering how many great episodes you have done, let me list the ones I have seen before you mentioned them:
'Night of the Living Dead',
'Primer',
'The Imposters',
'The Omen', ... See More
'The Man Who Would Be King',
'Dutch',
'Better off dead',
Noises Off,
Run Lola
Moon
Much shorter list than would be if I were to list those I haven't seen before you guys. :)

i actually missed 38 out of the 42 ^.^
@Wrinkliez via Twitter

"Primer" is one of my favorite Indie movies of all time. Surprising how many people haven't seen. Made on an exrtemely small budget, with no CGI, the illusion of time travel is made believable and plausible. Thanks, guys, for recognizing this little film. All these other ones being mentioned, I have seen. Ta. -BB

Since there are probably more movies I hadn't seen than I have, I'll just list the ones I had seen before I found this website.
The Fall, Brick, Primer, Fido, Princess Mononoke, Let the Right One in, In Bruges, King of Kong, Lola Rennt, Equilibrium and Moon. So I had seen 11 out of the 42 previously.
John I.G. via MYMHM Comment

I think the number of movies that I had seen before covered by MYMHM is about ten. Let's see: Five Obstructions, Run Lola, Noises Off, Man for All Season, Igby, Station Agent, In Bruges, Man Bites Dog, Better Luck Tomorrow, Brick. Ten. Exactly ten.
But, oh my! I can't thank the show enough for bringing me 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints' and 'The Fall.' Those were the two best movies I saw last year by a mile.
Andrew T via Facebook

We love bringing you films you haven't seen, but we are thrilled to hear about the ones you've caught.  These films all deserve the attention.  Now- if you need an idea for a good Sunday flick, we have a few suggestions. ;)

So after reviewing Word Wars last week, we totally had words on the brain. What better to follow up a documentary on Scrabble than to jump in to a FREAKING WEIRD movie about word zombies?

Canadians come up with the oddest zombie flicks, so sit back and watch what you say, the "virus" is spread through understanding...

Special thanks to fans Dale Lloyd and @Alexlyons for recommending this flick!

 ***UPDATE***

Our review caught the attention of Mr. Tony Burgess (the writer of Pontypool Changes Everything and the screenplay for the Pontypool film), and here's what he had to say about us!

best review of Pontypool I have heard yet.  The difficulty in `getting it', `liking it', even recommending it is supposed to be the pleasure. Especially the question over whether everything works or nothing works and the choices you have to make as a viewer to determine one over the other. It's a pleasure i look for when i hunt a specific kind of film and it was definitely something I thought while writing 'er.

so thanks for the awesome review. I don't normally pop in doctor thru a window style on reviewers but this was so good.

ciao T

Woot! He likes us! He REALLY likes us!

***UPDATE NUMBER TWO***
