Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves working as Roger Thornhill’s personal drycleaner… between the dust-ups and the crop dusters, Thornhill has lots of suits in need of cleaning. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. This week… North By Northwest, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Aliens In The Attic, and more!

Just a quick reminder for those of you who love the eternally tangential ramblings of myself and my always-drunk co-host, Dr. Cole Abaius — Reject Radio, the official live podcast of Film School Rejects, will be live once again and on your computer screens Sunday night.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: The Taking of Pelham 123 and Imagine That.

After a couple good weeks with at least one good movie to enjoy, Kevin and Neil hit the dog days of the cinematic summer. The Fat Guys debate the ability of John Travolta to be a badass and wonder why Eddie Murphy is still making films. Neil also threatens to stab Kevin in the eyeballs.

We have two new movies rolling out with big star power — The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 with Denzel Washington and John Travolta, and Imagine That starring Eddie Murphy.

John Travolta hijacks a New York subway train and holds its passengers for ransom. Denzel Washington races against the clock to stop him. Things explode. Looks fun, right?

You can scratch another remake off the list of fifty or so that are in the works because the trailer for The Taking of Pelham 123 is playing in front of The International and officially has a poster. It’s coming for us all soon.
