Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel and God’s Son of God!

This week we travel to the East, from Europe’s Republic of Zubrowka to the promised land of Jerusalem. First, Katey, Patches, and David give an early view of Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel, a film that might rank among the director’s best. Then FITWR-regular Jordan Hoffman prays movie-going audiences will avoid Son of God, an adaptation of History Channel’s Bible mini-series that chronicles the life of the the late Jesus F. Christ. Plus, we hijack your lighting round answers on film’s best hijackings.

Plus Harold Ramis, RIP.

This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e have many bones to pick after spending some time talking about Harold Ramis and his legacy.

Review – The Rising Wind is Filled with Airplanes and Volcanic Ash

A Pompeii and The Wind Rises Double Header!

This week is ripe with adventure as Katey and Patches grab their swords, slip on their sandals and scale Pompeii, the latest blockbuster from vulgar auteurist Paul W.S. Anderson. Then, after hinting at talking about it for months, Patches and David finally discuss Hayao Miyazaki’s final film The Wind Rises. Does the English version do justice to the Japanese original? It’s certainly not a disaster, like the movies you picked for this week’s lighting round.
