Big Screen Auckland
by Nige & Cory
Two film fans get together almost weekly to discuss what they've seen, what they liked (or not), what else is on that interests them and what is coming up on Auckland's Big Screens. Paying specific attention to Festivals, large - such as the New Zealand International Film Festival, World Cinema Showcase & so on - and small - the French Film Fest, Windows On Europe, Documentary Edge Fest, etc...Being huge fans of Cult Cinema events such as Ant Timpson's 24 Hour Movie Marathon & the 48 Hours Film Competition, anything hosted under the Incredibly Strange banner is likely to be covered. Visiting a plethora of theatres in Auckland; Academy, Rialto, Lido, Capitol, Civic Theatre, Victoria Picture Palace...and they aren't scared of the Event Multiplex, either. The one thing you won't find is the word "Review".

There's no txters & no gangstas this week! Cory & Nige find yet another new favourite in a Quebecian mystery set in the Middle East; Cory sings one of Howard Shore's LOTR scores for us during our musings on the transient (??) Terrence Malick film, The Tree Of Life; and we mention the pleasant…

BSA no.024 - Let The Bullets Fly / Tiny Furniture
With Cory being ill and Editor Nige being slack, we were unable to successfully put together an episode about the films we saw this week; however, we are so very wonderful, that we've pieced together a show from some unaired Film Fest stuff for you. We discuss the Big Screen's latest offerings...
-
BSA no.023 - Cowboys & Aliens / How I Ended This Summer / Martha Marcy Mae Marlene
Shit's going down at 240°C as we record by the oven with pork sizzlin' away and Nige talks too damn loud while drinking Cory's Hennessy. Jon Favreau isn't as actiony OR in-your-facey as we'd hoped, but two Russian fellas scrapping in the Arctic did the trick! Then we pluck an unaired Film Fest…
more -
BSA no.022 - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows pt.2 (plus all the other ones)
Cory can't decide whether Dumbledore is the CEO of McDonald's or a maths freak. Nige can't decide whether it was all worth it (but appears to have a crush on Rupert Grint). It's a battle for the ages as we hoot & holler slash piss & moan about JK's world of wizardry. 0:54 - The Harry Potter...

BSA no.021 - NZFF Special: Film Fest Wrap Up / Top Ten Lists
Cory & Nige storm through some Top Ten lists and wrap-up the NZ International Film Festival; Nige tries to keep it down in the library while Jake dazzles him with words like evinced & egalitarian; then we sit down by the pool table as Pat reminisces about clowns with SMGs. 4:24 - Cory & Nige's...

BSA no.020 - NZFF Special: The Turin Horse / Bill Gosden interview / The Yellow Sea
Nige loses his cool trying to fathom Cory's passion for THE TURIN HORSE; famous cat Bill Gosden - the Film Fest director - stops by for a schmooze; and we are completely swept up by super-cool actiony Korean thing THE YELLOW SEA. 1:20 - The Turin Horse 11:16 - A chat with NZFF Director Bill…

BSA no.019 - NZFF Special: Take Shelter / Meek's Cutoff / The Forgiveness Of Blood
The ever-brilliant Michael Shannon acts up a storm again in TAKE SHELTER, Michelle Williams is back with Kelly Reichhardt as a lost early settler and the director of Maria, Full Of Grace brings us a fascinating tale of family vs. family in Albania. 1:27 - Take Shelter 6:06 - Meek's Cutoff 12:40 -...
-
BSA no.018 - NZFF Special: Cold Fish / The Man From Nowhere / Attenberg
As the New Zealand International Film Festival gyrates on, we dip willingly into crazy-Japan via COLD FISH, before Jake from Best Worst podcast stops in to share a chuckle over THE MAN FROM NOWHERE (actually from Korea) and ATTENBERG (a Greek film we were hoping'd be Dogtooth 2)… 01:26 - Cold…
more -
BSA no.017 - NZFF Special: Taxi Driver / Submarine / 13 Assassins
The New Zealand International Film Festival is upon us, our favourite time of year!! We get to ease in perfectly with the classic Scorsese film TAXI DRIVER, then hit SUBMARINE - featuring odd Welsh schoolkids and their equally odd parents - before Takashi Miike's samurai battle, 13 ASSASSINS. We...
-
BSA no.016 - Transformers: Dark Of The Moon
Of the five films that we saw, we spend most of that time shredding the one that we DIDN'T enjoy. Because that's more fun to listen to. Or at least record. 00:00 - Intro, spoiler warning & Transformers: Dark Of The Moon 16:15 - My Afternoons With Margueritte (plus chatter about the Lido) 19:48…

-
BSA no.013 - X-Men: First Class / AGM
It’s high time we outlined how things work around here, so we invite you backstage to our first Annual General Meeting, then it's straight into the origin of Magneto, Professor X... and the whole X-Men team... and I tell you right now, it's all First Class.
-
BSA no.012 - Source Code / Moon / Tracker
A Double Feature at the Capitol Cinema really impresses, which has a lot to do with Duncan Jones (aka. Zowie Bowie) making great films. Nige finally catches up with Temuera Morrison and Ray Winstone climbing all over NZ scenery. Nige also catches ARTHUR (Russell not Dudley), FAST FIVE, A CHINESE...
-
BSA no.011 - Thor / Another Year / The Lost Bladesman / Hop

BSA no.006 - The Adjustment Bureau / Blue Valentine
The eagerly anticpated relationship Drama that made Nige's top ten of the year "Blue Valentine" combined with Matt Damon's Sci-Rom "The Adjustment Bureau" from a Philip K.
