Everything has been building to this moment, Aragorn ascenending to the throne, Frodo and Sam fast approaching Mount Doom, Merry and Pippen picking they're own teams and Legolas...killing an elephant or something.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Caravan Of Garbage

A mere year after the first entry in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy came The Two Towers, not simply a rehash of what came before but a vastly different continuation of the story. With the fellowship split up, Frodo and Sam making for Mordor with the one ring, Merry and Pippin hanging out with a talking tree and Aragon, Legolas and Gimli helping defend Rohan at Helms Deep things ramp up in a big way. Also Gandalf is back and he's got a new style and powers and stuff. Thanks for watching our Carava...

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings - Caravan Of Garbage

2001 kicked of the start of a remarkable trilogy of films, live action adaptations of The Lord of the Rings beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring. From director Peter Jackon and filmed in his home country of New Zealand these movies have served as the pinacle of blockbuster cinema managing to perfectly balance heart, action, spectacle, model work and CGI. With an incredible cast of mostly unknowns including Elijah Woods, Seasn Astin, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, H...

Noah - Caravan Of Garbage

In 2014 Darren Aronofsky hit us with the Russell Crowe lead biblical epic Noah. A bold and accurate(?) retelling of the classic Old Testament tale of one man and his family in a quest to help God kill everyone on earth but not all the animals, just most of them. This concludes our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy for 2024, but don't worry we'll definitely return to more down the line. Probably like Robin Hood or whatever I dunno. Thanks for listening!

Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World - Caravan Of Garbage

We're back to continue on our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy, a peak into three Russell Crowe historical epics. This week it's 2003's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a critically lauded nautical adventure that didn't quite reach the audience it needs to warrent a sequel. Also featuring the likes of Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd and James D'Arcy it's well worth of look if this one happened to pass you by.

The Thing but 2011 - Caravan Of Garbage

In 2011 Universal had the absolute audacity to release a prequel to John's Carpenter's The Thing telling the story of the Norwegian camp we briefly saw in the original. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton in the lead it seems as if a genuinely solid attempt was made at recapturing the magic of the first before studio interference didn't do justice to the original practical special effects by papering them over with rushed CGI, diminished character moments and re-edited story beats.

The Thing - Caravan Of Garbage

John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982 we treated incredibly harshly upon it's initial release. Labelled disgusting and mean on arrival audiences gradually turned around on it with it becomming one of the greatest horror movies of all time. With an incredible central performances from the likes of Kurt Russell and Keith David, ground breaking special effects from Rob Bottin, a haunting and terrifying atmosphere and an amazing score from the legandary Ennio Morricone it's probably the best thing th...

Oz the Great and Powerful - Caravan Of Garbage

in 2013 Sam Raimi decided to try something a little out of his wheelhouse of horror or comic book movies and directed a Wizard of Oz prequel focusing on the great and powerful wizard. Starring James Franco (RIP), Michelle Williams, Milla Kunis and Rachael Weisz it details his arrival into the mystical land, the origin of the Wicke Witch of the West and how the wizard has always been a dog of a bloke. Not a bad one to be honest. Anyways, thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE...

46 years after the original Wizard of Oz comes Disney's attempt at a sequel, Return to Oz. Whilst a huge cinematic bomb in 1985 the same year it arrived it's legacy endured by the generation of children it traumatised by putting Dorothy through a series of horrifying trials to yet again attempt to make her way back to Kansas. This time she's joined by Tik-Tok, Jack Pumpkin Head the The Gump as she battles against the Nome King, Mombi and The Wheelers. It certainly is something. Without a doubt. ...

The Wizard of Oz - Caravan Of Garbage

Beleive it or not The Wizard of Oz wasn't an immediate hit when it originally released in 1939.

Hellboy 2019 - Caravan Of Garbage

In 2019 Lionsgate attempted the unimaginable, a reboot of the Hellboy franchise after the much beloved Guillermo del Toro and Ron Pearlman dead cancelled trilogy. With David Harbour stepping into the role and directed (sort of) by Neil Marshall it was a critical and commercial bomb. HOWEVER as a movie some perhaps feel that it's been judged unfairly especially considering the mythology, creature work, world bulding and story.
