Movies: Moneyball

Based on a true story, Moneyball is all about the Oakland Athletics adopting a new approach to finding players. Pushing aside traditional "scouting", Beane finds a new young genius to help find players with a single goal - getting on base. It's a classic sports film, with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill starring. This one breaks the title of the show though, because Trev has seen this too!

Movies: King Kong (1976)

Stephen has chosen the 1976 characterisation of King Kong as he believes it's the best. The story of a Giant Ape discovered on a remote island and brought to New York City as a tourist attraction and traveling show. Starring Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin and the first film role of Jessica Lange - this is a different story to the 1932 and 2005 King Kong's but follows a similar path. Trev's never seen it, the movie is as old as he is, while Stephen has more copies of it than would seem normal to an...

TBTT #548 - Google vs Apple via SMS

Kayo is booming with 1.3 million subscribers...

Movies: RoboCop

The 1987 classic RoboCop would be best described as a science fiction action film - but could be seen by many as a glimpse into a heavily privatised corporate run world. Director Paul Verhoeven takes the Edward Neumeier screenplay and places Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer in to make for a cracking great show. A run-down Detroit could become the host for a new mega city - controlled by RoboCops. Stephen has seen it a bunch, Trev's only he...

Movies: Misery

Misery is known as a psychological thriller, but Trev learns on his first watch that it's that and much more. Recorded just weeks after the passing of the Movie's star James Caan, Misery is directed by Rob Reiner based on Stephen King's 1987 novel of the same name It could easily be argued though that Kathy Bates stole the show in this one, with an outstanding and rightly Oscar winning performance.
