Over
many years and many episodes an amazing thing has happened, there has been a
fun, insightful movie review show that has been on cable hosted by a married
couple.
Laura
and Robin debate the merits of different cinema shows from the art house stuff
to the low brow Z grade garbage chow flicks. Their review of Zombie Strippers
was just as priceless as their review of some Frenchie foreign fru fru movie
that’s name doesn’t spring to mind at the moment.
They
rate movies on a scale of A-D (honestly can’t recall an F ever being handed
out). They don’t give too many A+ marks, which wisely shows how prized that
score is held. They don’t often give out D’s either but it happens.
How
long has the show been running? Well they reviewed Ghost when it came out, so
that should give you a good benchmark. The show rolls out of Malden,
Massachusetts. It’s also very easy to check out online. Go to: http://www.reelingreviews.com/

Ok
so why is this an ad for a cable show? Because it is worth digging. It’s good,
fun, and it’s a slice of history that people aren’t noticing and they should.
Name another husband/wife show running for this long that’s still got spirit,
spunk, and brains?
Sometimes
they agree, some times they spar, they’re real and so is their love of flicks.
Most episodes have an insane amount of reviews and the Reeling website is
crawling with more.
If
you dig films than this is the show for you to check out.
Your
humble blog typer has been doing crew duty on the show for more years than some
have years. It’s been an experience to do something so insanely fun for so
long. Some nights it’s all about technical stuff. However many shoots have
involved skullduggery, drunken dust ups, pizzas, back door escapades, political
intrigues, and fits of slanderous libel.
When
at the last shoot your narrator was confronted with the question, “How long do
you think you can do this?” the response was, “I’ll do this until I drop.”
Oh
what joy! So watch away and behold what a movie review show should be, fun and
informative!
