TSAJFS: 13/02/2011 True Grit/Inside Job/Animal Kingdom

So, first off, we shall now attempt to - every week - take a picture from the location we record from. This week, we watched our films from Clapham Picturehouse and so, a picture of Jo and I pre-viewing is attached.

This week, our main review is True Grit - the Coen's taking on a true Western in all its 1800's glory. Then we have the usual news and meeting-of-people in 'the club' before we run through the London box-office and new releases.

We finish with some incrdible coverage of Oscar nominated documnetary Inside Job - a favourite to win - and the Australian gangster movie: Animal Kingdom.

Links

Facebook-er of the week is my sis' Pauline for being the only person to comment on my 'whats-the-best-007-film' question. (Though, since then, Mark Harrison has commented...)

Twitter-er of the week is Emma Farley (she also has a blog - FINAL CUT) who singled Jo out on his anti-Kings-Speech stance. But alas, Jo stands far from her as he still is not convinced - seriously folks, try and convince him to see it. He won't listen to Emma Farley, Mad Hatter or I...

Finally, our blogger of the week is Jason Soto at Invasion of the B-Movies primarily due to his single facebook/twitter post about Justin Bieber - or, more importantly, his fiance Felicia - stating how we should ruin Justin Bieber fans movie-going experience

Music

All music is from Carter Burwell's soundtrack to True Grit - though finishing with Air Supply's track, as used in Animal Kingdom.

The Simon and Jo Show Podcast: 20/12/2009

Apologies for the late delivery, but it has arrived! We have selected our Top Ten films of 2009. Potential fights could happen ... who knows! We also discuss Spike Jonzes' Where the Wild Things Are and finally Jo has watched Zombieland and delivers his verdict.

Music this week from a range of places - starting with 'California Dreaming' sung by Bobby Womack, 'All is Love' by Karen-O and the Kids, Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', Philip Glass' 'Pruit Igoe' and finally finishing with David Bowies 'Cat People'. Question is, what is the films that these five songs are related to? Answers on the comments...

I shall put up the Top 10 of 2009, with links to reviews, on the sidebar soon enough ... but so that i don't spoil the suprise now ...

The Simon and Jo Show Podcast: 12/12/2010

The discussion consists of a deeper-delve into Jo's trip to The Brighton Film Festival, The German Film Festival (in London) while second 'part' discusses the recent Top 10 Film lists for 2009 from Empire and Sight and Sound.

With aspirations to vamp up the podcasts intro-pages I have decided to add to this description the music used. To make it more difficult for myself, I have decided to start this on a week whereby we use more than one soundtrack to celebrate the Top 10 films of 2009 ... as decided by Sight and Sound and Empire.

In order of their appearance, we have used music from the soundtrack of Up!, Treeless Mountain, Let the Right One In, Moon and Un Prophet.
