Avatar (Extended) - Caravan of Garbage

Avatar 2: The Way Of Water is in the process of blowing the doors off your local cinemaplex, but before we revisit the world of Pandora lets all revisit the world of Pandora but in 2009. With huge advancements in motion capture, virtual environments and CGI Avatar remains the literal biggest movie of all time. And now we see whether or not we believe it holds up for us in our final Caravan Of Garbage review for the year. Thank you for all the support in 2022. SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39...

Titanic - Caravan of Garbage

Long before Avatar and even longer before Avatar The Water the greatest and best movie of all time was James Cameron’s Titanic. Expected to be the biggest bomb of 1997 the Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet led period drama defied expectations to became a critical and commercial smash. Something something and now this review.

The Abyss - Caravan of Garbage

We're on the road to Avatar 2: The Way Of Water! And on that road there there were three movies from James Cameron's filmography that made it happen, the first of which we'll be looking at is The Abyss from 1989. Starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Michael Biehn among others it tells the harrowing tale of a civilian diving team, a rogue nuclear warhead and aliens of The Deep. I hope you like submarines because boy there's a lot of them. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garb...

Batman: The Killing Joke - Caravan Of Garbage

We have come to an end of our Alan Moore-athon with one of the most misguided attempts at adaptation, Batman: The Killing Joke from 2016. Despite having the likes of Paul Dini, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill lending their skills it falls flat in almost all ways. Animation, interpretation, additions, it's bizarre. But luckily at the end we also look at a good thing in the Justice League Unlimited episode For The Man Who Has Everything to wrap everything up. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Ga...

V For Vendetta - Caravan Of Garbage

The Alan Moore-athon trundles along with this weeks entry being 2005's V For Vendetta. Unlike a lot of the other entries in this series this one is generally beloved. With Hugo Weaving as V along with Natalie Portman as Evie it deals with a fascist regime in England, a political uprising, issues of race, gender and sexuality, some fancy karate and of course Alan Moore hates it.

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Caravan Of Garbage

2003 was very much like today in the sense that everybody was looking to adapt comic book properties into a huge movie franchise. So in continuing our Alan Moore-athon we're taking a look at The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or LXG if you would. In Sean Connery's final live action role before retirement he leads a team of 19th Century super people as Alan Quartermaine. We've never liked it but maybe that's wrong. Doubtful though.

From Hell - Caravan Of Garbage

There is a long history of Alan Moore movie adaptation that he absolutely hates. So we're going back to revisit all those we haven't visited yet, starting with From Hell from 2001. Starring Johnny Depp, Heather Graham and Ian Holm it tells a fictionalized tale of notorious serial killer Jack The Ripper. And it's pretty boring. That's our hot take.

Bram Stoker's Horny Dracula - Caravan Of Garbage

Hello. It's the spookiest time of the year and I'm not just talking about tax time. And to celebrate this we're revisiting a 1992 Francis Ford Coppola classic, Bram Stoker's Dracula. With screen rattling performances from Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves it is somehow both a cult classic and a box office hit. And it's also very horny.

Before he was a big Egyptian morally ambiguous magical warrior man in Black Adam, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsons was a big Egyptian morally ambiguous magical warrior man in The Scorpion King. After his live action movie debut and then being a big CGI scorpion person in The Mummy Returns Mathayus (which is his name?) of Akkad is back in a tale of epic-ish proportions!

Man-Thing (Extended) - Caravan Of Garbage

Recently the MCU saw the first live action appearance of Man-Thing in the Halloween special Werewolf By Night. Sorry I just forgot right now, there was a Marvel adaptation of Man-Thing that dates back to 2005 produced by Avi Arad who's producing credits include Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk, Blade and even Iron Man. Filmed entirely in Australian with a next to nothing budget it certainly is an odd duck of a film that was quickly swept under the rug. I will never forget though. And now ...

The Incredible Hulk - Caravan Of Garbage

The Incredible Hulk marks the second entry in the MCU with also the lowest box office return. Bringing on Edward Norton for his brief stint as Bruce Banner this incarnation is leaner, meaner, green...greyer and mostly forgotten despite some of it's elements eventually bleeding over into the wider universe. All in all this can safely be categorised as a movie we've reviewed on Caravan Of Garbage. SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Video Edition ►https://youtu.be/oDTdRfEFC7w Help support the s...

Hulk (2003) - Caravan Of Garbage

In 2003 Ang Lee made a valiant attempt at bringing the Hulk to life like we'd never seen before. With the casting of Eric Bana and groundbreaking CGI technology the Hulk was both bigger and greener than ever before. And at the end of the day it's pretty weird but also good but also boring but also interesting. Probably other things also. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review!

The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies - Caravan Of Garbage

All journeys must come to an end. Some with a whimper. Some with a bang. Some do the cinematic equivalent of dragging the audience through broken glass in the third entry of a trilogy for two hours and twenty four minutes. Which coincidently is the runtime of The Battle Of The Five Armies which sees Bilbo, Gandalf and various Dwarfs/Elves go up against the forces of somebody over something.

Nobody was happier than us when we heard the second Hobbit book was being made into a movie. JOKES. The result of splitting JRR Tolkien's work into three movies lead us here to The Desolation Of Smaug, the middle and probably best chapter in the series. Here we see the return of Lord Of The Rings favorite Orlando Bloom's Legolas as well as a genuinely great performance with Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug.
