Our Movie Guy Ray’s final looks at this year’s Phoenix Film Fest entries, including the festival closer EIGHTH GRADE.
B-Movie Bonanza!
With the availability of so much entertainment vying for our attention, there is one genre that can easily be missed…B-movies.
LET ‘EM FINISH THE JOB
After investing two hours in an actor’s tireless work to portray a real-life character, I want to ride with them until the end.

Then playwright and actor Nick Santa Maria hops in The Admiral’s Club to talk old movies, his musical “Real Men” and “Biffle & Shooster”, a series of 1930’s-themed comedy shorts coming to The Egyptian Theatre August 16th.
MOVIE REVIEW – SPY
Few scenes fly by without the jokes coming fast and funny. There are too many comedies today with missed opportunities and Feig and McCarthy don’t let any of those moments pass without delivering something hilarious.
THE MOVIE SHOWCAST – “WELL, SUMMER’S OVER…” (w/Jennifer Blanc-Biehn & Mick Foley) – “If I Stay”, “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” & “When the Game Stands Tall”

And back in The Admiral’s Club, “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For”, “If I Stay” and “When the Game Stands Tall” get thorough previews and The Movie Guys score a rare interview with God.
THE MOVIE SHOWCAST – “#XMEN #THOR #CAPTAMERICA” (w/Ken Barnard) – “Ender’s Game”, “Last Vegas” & “Free Birds”
Showcast Episode 24: The Movie Guys are joined for the whole show by comedian Ken Barnard to preview “Free Birds” and “Last Vegas”. Plus, “Ender’s Game” inspires an enshrining ceremony for The International Order of Ornate Sci-Fi and Fantasy Names. Also, fiery rounds of “What Did You See This Week?” and Karen’s Birthdays.

MOVIE REVIEW – THE BIG WEDDING
It’s like having an orange popcicle, the mild orange taste is pleasing enough, but no one ever spends much time thinking about it afterwards, its banished from our thoughts because while the taste is good, it’s also unremarkable.

MOVIE REVIEW – LIMITLESS
A film like this demands a charismatic and vulnerable lead actor, and Bradley Cooper is quickly establishing himself as the right guy for those jobs.
