So, actually, we actually discuss what is actually one of our very favorite films, not actually just as a Christmas film, but actually just a great film altogether. Actually, we don't actually say actually anywhere near as much during the actual episode as we actually do in this episode summary, so there's no need to actually worry about that.

Actually.

CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) is Director Alfonso Cuarón’s gloomy sci-fi masterpiece set 18 years after all women have suddenly and inexplicably become infertile. Whilst the rest of the planet is shaken by the death of the youngest person on Earth, Theo (Clive Owen) finds himself reluctantly drawn into escorting Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) who might be carrying humanity’s last flicker of hope through an England divided by a refugee crisis and an austere authoritarian government. Gripping and grim in equal measure, Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki conjure up a rich and textured world as a backdrop to a plot ripe with biblical allegory and commentary about our relationship to communities in crisis. Never less than captivating from the first frame until the bleak and barely optimistic ending and featuring several virtuoso sequences of incredible action film making, the verisimilitude of the world-building and its authenticity makes this one of my favourite movies of the noughties. As Cris puts it, if you haven’t seen it this you should rectify that immediately and if you have, you need to watch it again.

Lock up your daughters (especially if Colin Firth is moping around with some loose papers), and keep an eye on that randy PM, as we immerse ourselves in the Christmas overindulgence that is Richard Curtis’s Love Actually. Can we please stop calling totally normally proportioned Martine McCutcheon chubby? Did Mark, aka the Cue Card Guy, deserve the hate he got for his visual proclamation? And are the porn couple the only healthy relationship in this whole film? Or is it Bill Nighy’s aging rockstar and his manager? We’re too busy tearing up over the actual people welcoming each other home at Heathrow to come up with any answers. 

“General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.”

Kicking off our Christmas series of films, Trevor brings in one of his favorite Christmas and romantic comedies,  the insanely stacked, star studded 2003 English classic, Love Actually. 

In the first of two episodes devoted to the films of David Mamet, Andras & Bryan celebrate what is currently Mamet’s last theatrical release, a soulful martial arts conspiracy drama.

Written & Directed by David Mamet. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Emily Mortimer, Tim Allen, Joe Mantegna, Alice Braga, Max Martini, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Jake Johnson, Rebecca Pidgeon & Ricky Jay

How is the world wrong about Redbelt?

From Bryan: I saw this in the theater five times when it came out. I can’t think of a leaner, tighter action/thriller. This movie isn’t that old, so why doesn’t anyone talk about it? It’s a masterful film by a confident filmmaker at the true top of their game. It’s time to recognize this movie as one of the best from this century so far. And there’s lots of kicking in it too!

Children of Men is a 2006 science fiction action-thriller film[4][5][6][7] co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. The screenplay, based on P. D. James' 1992 novel The Children of Men, was credited to five writers, with Clive Owen making uncredited contributions. The film takes place in 2027, when two decades of human infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. Asylum seekers seek sanctuary in the United Kingdom, where they are subjected to detention and refoulement by the government. Owen plays civil servant Theo Faron, who must help refugee Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) escape the chaos. Children of Men also stars Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Pam Ferris, and Charlie Hunnam.

Spike Lee directs this New York-based bank heist thriller starring SIX Oscar winners and/or nominees - Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Willem Dafoe, and the late great Christopher Plummer – and the result is a highly rewatchable caper film that lives up to its pedigree.  How could it not, with Spike and Denzel leading the charge?
