Shrek The Third - Caravan Of Garbage

Shrek The Third. BOO. I mean what a drop in quality. Despite returning to this delightfully weird universe and revisting the characters of Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona and Puss In Boots it feels like a big dull retread of two better movies. Plus the new elements including Justin Timberlake and Eric Idle as King Arthur and Merlin feel hollow and wasted. Anyways this is our Caravan Of Garbage review and we don't like this movie.

Shrek 2 - Caravan Of Garbage

Shrek 2 takes everything that was successful about the first film in the franchise and attempted to expand out the characters, world and magical lore. With new characters like Puss In Boots, The Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming plus the Kingdom of Far Far Away it established Shrek as the biggest 3D animated franchise. Here in our Caravan Of Garbage review we get right into whether it still holds up nearly 20 years later. Thanks for listening! SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Video Edition ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
