The Road Movie review

Eric Melin and guest host Trevan McGee (from InkKC.com) review the bleak new Cormac McCarthy adaptation The Road. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Road was directed by John Hillcoat and follows a father (Viggo Mortensen) and son (Kodi McPhee) as they journey across a scorched Earth after the apocalypse. Does it live up to the emotional heights of the book? Is it a paean to fatherhood or a numbing exercise in depression? Find out in this review of The Road with clips from the movie.

2012 Movie review

Eric and guest host Trevan McGee (InkKC.com) review the new apocalyptic disaster porn movie 2012 starring John Cusack and directed by Roland Emmerich. The Mayan prophecy says the world will end in 2012, and Hollywood has co-opted that premise for a 2012 disaster flick with lots of state-of-the-art CGI special effects. Is 2012 up to the adventure movie standards of Emmerich, who also did Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow? Does it at least succeed as a 2012 doomsday action movie? Find out in this on-camera movie review of 2012 with clips from the film.
