In another exciting episode of <u><b>What I've Learned From Film</b></u>, we tackle <b>Miami Connection</b>,
a recently re-released martial arts movie that has a ridiculous story
behind it all. We discuss the audience for these types of throwback
films, rediscovered films in general, and taekwondo masters who make
their own movies.<br />

In a brand new episode of <u><b>What I've Learned From Film</b></u>, James Bond's latest foray into the cinematic world, <b>Skyfall </b>is
beaten, prodded, and evaluated. But it is deemed fit for 007 status?
How does it fit into the rest of the James Bond filmography? Does it
live up to the hype? Do James and M finally get married?<br />

what we see. Joining me in our FIRST episode about a documentary is none
other than (yup, you guessed it!) <a href="http://joshhwwaaaaaa.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Josh Beekman</b></a>.<br />

This week, we kick up the testosterone to infinity as we gun down <b>The Expendables 2</b> in the latest episode of the <u><b>What I've Learned From Film</b></u> podcast. <b>The Expendables 2</b>
features an all-star cast of action heroes including Sylvester
Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme,
Chuck Norris, Jason Statham and plenty more.<br />
<br />
So is it an event worth watching? Or is the action lame and the story even lamer? Have a listen as special guest <a href="http://joshhwwaaaaaa.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Josh Beekman</b></a> and I grab our guns and blow everything to smithereens.<br />

In the latest episode of <u><b>What I've Learned From Film</b></u>, we crash through windows and man handle <b>The Bourne Legacy</b>,
co-written and directed by Tony Gilroy, starring Jeremy Renner and
Rachel Weisz. Does it continue the Bourne franchise in a respectable
manner or should this film have never been...BOURNE??!!
(rimshot...silence...regret).<br />
<br />
I am joined by Blackbriar agents <b>Darele Ray</b>, <a href="http://joshhwwaaaaaa.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Josh Beekman</b></a>, and <b>Leo Cortes</b>. This mission, should you choose to accept it, will...er...wait, wrong movie.<br />

Holy smokes, Bat readers! The third (and final?) Batman movie in
Christopher Nolan's trilogy has finally arrived in theaters everywhere
and we were obligated to give this film not the podcast it needs, but
the one it DESERVES. <b>The Dark Knight Rises</b> (starring Christian
Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman) had a
lot to live up to after the gargantuan success of <b>The Dark Knight</b>. So is it the epic climax that everyone wished it to be? Or is it riddled with plot holes that renders it a giant mess?<br />
<br />
Joining me in my fight against Bane are special guests <b>Darele Ray</b> and <b>Josh Beekman</b>.<br />

We continue our Oscar Roundup series of podcasts by discussing the film <b>The Help</b>, starring Bryce Dallas-Howard, Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. The film, based on a popular novel of the same name, was controversial when it first debuted last year due to it's take on pre-civil rights era maids in America. Does it do its subject matter justice? Or is it all just cotton candy fluff?<br />
<br />
Joining me on this episode are special guests <b>Frank Smith</b> and <b>Josh Beekman</b>.<br />
