Episodes
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 034, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
This is one of the few films on the list I had not seen before, though I am familiar with the play--it being one of my favorites. The 1966 Mike Nichols' film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards, won 5 (including Elizabeth Taylor's win for Best Actress) was based on the Tony Award-winning 1962...
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 033, Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in the West, they'd Hang 'Em High if anyone suggested that for A Few Dollars More you could make a movie that showed the Good, The Bad and The Ugly about the consequences of violence. ahem. -- @misterbowen
-
Feature Review 001, Man of Steel
Well the poster--I think--says it all about this movie. And this: "Meh." --@misterbowen
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 032, Tootsie
One of my all-time favorites! Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie" stars Dustin Hoffman as the consummate out-of-work actor: He's constantly complaining about the lack of jobs and yet every time he lands a part, he loses it, burns a bridge or somehow alienates the director/cast/crew by being ridiculously...

Special Episode 001, This is Ours
"This is Ours," is a beautiful film by my friends Kris and Lindy Boustedt and it's our first departure from the AFI list here at 100 of Some(Movie)Thing. And I'm glad it is. Watch it right now on Amazon Prime for free! Alright, now that you've watched, click below and listen up! -- @misterbowen
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 030, Saving Private Ryan
Well folks, here it is, one of the better war movies ever made... But even here Spielberg manages to throw in a trademark roller-coaster ride or two. Join us, won't you?
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 029, The Shawshank Redemption
This week we review Stephen King's paean to prison rape, tax shelters and silky smooth voice-over narration, the Shawshank Redemption. I really didn't expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did this time around. But there you go. -- @misterbowen
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 028, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
George Roy Hill's classic buddy flick "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is the subject of today's podcast. Released in 1969 to critical and audience raves, this lil' gem catapulted Robert Redford to super-stardom. Well deserved, too. Paul Newman is at his affable, easy-going best as Butch...
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 027, The Silence of the Lambs
Jonathan Demme's 1991 thriller is a fan favorite but Anthony Hopkins' hammy performance as Hannibal Lector doesn't sit well with @misterbowen. Join us as we discuss the X-Files template, The Silence of the Lambs.
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 026, In the Heat of the Night
"They call me... Misterbowen!" Doesn't have the same ring as Sidney Poitier's iconic line. But there it is. They do. We're back! We had an unintentional month and a half hiatus, but we're roaring back with "In the Heat of the Night," Norman Jewison's slightly uneven film about a murder in a small...
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 025, Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump. A movie about love. A movie about simpler times. A movie about a whole ton of coincidences.
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 024, All the President's Men
In 1972, Richard Nixon brought us a scandal of the highest order. In 1976, Alan J. Pakula brought us Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in "All The President's Men." A thriller in which no one is shot, stabbed or poisoned. Or blown up. Or thrown out of a building. Wait a minute... What the hell…

100 of Some(Movie)Thing 023, Modern Times
Charles Chaplin wrote, produced, directed, scored and starred in this 1936 silent picture. A classic in its own right, it also stands as the last film of the silent era and features the first words Charlie Chaplin spoke, or rather sang, on film. There are classic moments in this film starring...
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 022, The Wild Bunch
Sam Peckinpah directed this 1969 Ketchup Gun extravaganza starring William Holden, Robert Ryan, Ben Johnson and Ernest Borgnine. The thing is, there's a good story here, too. A little hard to follow at points with flashbacks and repeated dialog loops, but it's there! Join us, won't you, for a…

100 of Some(Movie)Thing 021, The Apartment
Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" was nominated for 10 Oscars, It won 5, including Best Picture. I think it could do so again today. Jack Lemmon gives a fantastic performance as C.C. "Buddy" Baxter, a put-upon bachelor who is caught up in a never-ending cycle of loaning out his apartment to…

100 of Some(Movie)Thing 020, Spartacus
Blood and sandals again?! Aw Mom! But Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960) is a true epic, a cast of 10,000 including Kirk Douglas, Jean Simmons, Lawrence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov (who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Batiatus) Tony Curtis and the Spanish Army. This version of the...
-
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 019, Sunrise
Originally I had thought to do something a little more artsy with this podcast, maybe something themed to go along with the film we were watching. I couldn't come up with something better than 45 minutes of dead air for the silent films on the list, and since we're working only with audio…
more -
100 of Some(Movie)Thing 018, Titanic
Oh James Cameron, you scamp! Retelling the tragic story of the unsinkable ship through the lens of a pair of young lovers caught between worlds... He's so very modern in his free and easy manner; she, so staid and proper. ...sigh... Then the boat sinky sink sinks. NEAR far Wherever you are…

100 of Some(Movie)Thing 017, Easy Rider
And so... Easy Rider, we meet again. College days, hippie chicks delusions of artistic understanding... Today, a mess of a film, shot from a skeleton of a script... a noble effort or a windmill for tilting?... See how easy artistic prattle is? Anyway... Dennis Hopper co-wrote (with Peter Fonda)…
