    BlackBerry – Directed by Matt Johnson

    BlackBerry – Directed by Matt Johnson

    Time to talk about a movie that really clicks. BlackBerry is a Canadian biographical dramedy that covers the history of the titular phone developed by Research in Motion (RIM) from its meteoric rise starting in the late 90s to its inevitable downfall in the late 2000s. The movie stars Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton as the polar opposite co-CEOs, with Matt Johnson as one of the co-founders and true heart of the film. Plus, Johnson also directed BlackBerry and co-wrote the screenplay with Matthew Miller. BlackBerry was adapted from Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff's book Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry. And the rest of the cast includes Rich Sommer, Michael Ironside, Martin Donovan, Michelle Giroux, SungWon Cho, Saul Rubinek, and Cary Elwes.

    Our intro music this week is “Wind Flower” by Toti Cisneros.

    Copilots Review Episode 71- Shadowed Faith

    Hidden deep in the shadowed recesses of the internet hide a myriad of forgotten tv shows from a bygone era.

With a little faith though you can uncover them and give a show like Syfy's Shadowed Faith a chance for yourself... or you can listen to us review it.

    S02E23 - How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

    Welcome to Season 2 of Snubs & Dubs! This season we are covering the 87th Academy Awards, featuring the films of 2014.

    For Episode 23, we are talking about Dean DeBlois and Tom Owen's How To Train Your Dragon 2. Five years have passed since Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and Toothless united the dragons and Vikings of Berk. Now, they spend their time charting the island's unmapped territories. During one of their adventures, the pair discover a secret cave that houses hundreds of wild dragons -- and a mysterious dragon rider who turns out to be Hiccup's long-lost mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett). Hiccup and Toothless then find themselves at the center of a battle to protect Berk from a power-hungry warrior named Drago (Djimon Hounsou).

    First time you saw the movie?

     

    Plot:

    Doug Glatt (Sean William Scott), a bouncer at a bar in Massachusetts, feels ostracized from society, especially since his father and brother are both successful physicians. Doug attends a minor league hockey game with his best friend Pat (Jay Baruchel).

     

    Pat taunts the visiting team during a fight and one of their players climbs into the stands, calling him a homosexual slur. Doug (whose brother is gay) steps in and easily beats up the opposing player, as Pat films him, and the video goes is played on Pats hockey show, prompting the coach to call in and tell Doug to come try out as an enforcer.

     

    -I like how it starts, with the fight;

    -I cant see Sean William Scott and not see Stiffler

    -Jays hair is rediculous, with the cuts...and one is crooked

    -That was a brutal fight

    -Are those the guys from the Trailer Park Boys in the studio?

    -Good for Doug getting his 'thing'

    -Jay has a terrible Boston accent

     

    Meanwhile, veteran enforcer and Doug's idol Ross "The Boss" Rhea (Liev Schreiber) is demoted to the minors after serving a 20-game suspension for slashing an opponent in the head from behind. Three years prior, Rhea hit and concussed the highly-skilled prospect Xavier Laflamme (Marc-André Grondin), who has had trouble recovering from the incident due to the fear of being hit, resulting in his being stuck in the minors.

     

    After earning the nickname "The Thug," Doug was hired by a farm team in Canada where Laflamme plays, the Halifax Highlanders, to protect Laflamme and be his roommate. The Highlanders experience success with Doug as their enforcer, and he quickly becomes popular among fans and teammates, much to the chagrin of his parents and Laflamme, who loses ice time and the alternate-captaincy to Doug.

    Doug also becomes romantically involved with Eva (Alison Pill), a hockey fan with a penchant for players.

     

    -So he went from not playing hockey, to an amateur team, to a pro team in, like, 2-3 games?

    -Def weird to sign someones dick.

    The Eva arch is interesting... Not sure what scared her off.

    -She walked in talking to her bf, and only pulled back after they kissed?

     

    With four games left on their schedule, the Highlanders need two wins to secure a playoff spot. On a road game in Quebec after an opposing player concusses Laflamme with a heavy hit, Doug savagely beats the player unconscious and is suspended for the next game against Rhea and the St. John's Shamrocks.

     

    Doug encounters Rhea at a diner, where Rhea dismisses Doug's claim that he is a hockey player, calling him a goon. Though Rhea acknowledges Doug's physical prowess and gives Doug his respect, Rhea warns him that if they ever meet on the ice, he will "lay [him] the fuck out."

     

    The Highlanders (with Doug suspended and Laflamme hospitalized) lose to the Shamrocks. Doug reaches out to Laflamme, and promises him he will always have his back on the ice. In their next game, the Highlanders lead 1–0 thanks to strong teamwork between Doug and Laflamme.

     

    -Glad his family showed up, they're supportive

    -Doug in the bedroom was intense

    -Did Doug let the guy check LeFlamme? and fake going after him afterwards?

    -Eva calling herself a slut and admitting to sleeping around was an odd turn

    -Interesting meeting between Doug and Rhea

    -Stomach light?

    -I don't understand the turn around with LeFlamme

     

    In the final seconds, Doug blocks a slapshot with his face and his ankle is injured in the ensuing scramble. The Highlanders win, but they need a win against Rhea and the Shamrocks in their last game for a playoff spot.

    After two periods, the Shamrocks are beating the Highlanders 2–0. Rhea and Doug drop the gloves in the third period. Doug is knocked down first, but Rhea calls off the linesmen and allows him to get back up. Doug manages to break Rhea's nose, but breaks his previously injured ankle in the process.

     

    Doug manages to stand back up and knocks out Rhea with a vicious left hook. Eva and his teammates help a seriously injured Doug off the ice and Laflamme, inspired by Doug's efforts and Rhea's defeat, scores a natural hat trick, giving the Highlanders a 3–2 lead.

    As the game enters its final minute, the final scene has Eva comforting Doug in the locker room as he comments, "I think I nailed him."

     

    -Damn the puck to the face... but a good stop.

    -Do Doug and Rhea will meet in the playoffs, and LaFlamme doesn't walk on the logo

    -The music during the last game was weird... very tense and ominous. Not what you'd expect.

    -Whats with the weak ankles? Never mentioned before the fight.

    -That fight was pretty epic and brutal, worth the wait.

    -Like how Rhea smiled when he was getting up

    -Good, happy ending.

     

    The end

     

    Top Five Trivia of the movie: 

    TOP 5 FACTS

    Seann William Scott gained weight for the role of Doug Glatt, as well as taking intensive skating lessons and fighting on ice.

    A great majority of the cast is comprised by Canadian actors, including the well-established actors in Hollywood like Jay Baruchel, Kim Coates, Alison Pill and Eugene Levy. The only non-Canadians in major roles are Minnesota-native Seann William Scott and New Yorker Liev Schreiber. Ironically, Baruchel plays an American character (a thickly-accented Massachusetts native) in the film, while Schreiber plays a Canadian character.

    The scene where Rhea sheds crocodile tears during a press conference was a reference to NHL player Todd Bertuzzi. Bertuzzi, playing for the Vancouver Canucks at the time, punched Colorado Avalanche's Steve Moore in the back of the head during a game causing an injury that would end Moore's career. In a press conference afterwards, an emotional Bertuzzi tearfully apologized for the incident, which cost him a $500,000 salary deduction and a 17 month suspension.

    Seann William Scott gained weight for the role of Doug Glatt, as well as taking intensive skating lessons and fighting on ice.

    In an interview with hockey blog Puck Daddy, Liev Schreiber notes that he was inspired by former hockey enforcer Bob Probert. As an homage to the player, he taped his wrists for the film, just as Probert had done when he played.

    Kirk Kettner is a TSA agent at Pittsburgh International Airport. He attempts to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend Marnie, despite her treating him poorly. Meanwhile, an attractive and successful woman named Molly McCleish, arrives at the terminal to board a flight. Kirk is the only TSA agent who does not flirt with or attempt to harass her, attracting Molly, especially after he saves her from his boss who makes unwanted advances on her. After boarding, she calls her cell phone accidentally left behind at security, Kirk answers it and arranges to return it the following evening, deepening the attraction.

    Kirk and his friend Devon arrive at the Andy Warhol Museum the following evening to return Molly's phone. While there, Kirk is wrongly accused of spilling a drink on the museum director and is asked to leave. Molly feels bad and offers Kirk tickets to a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game. Kirk brings his friend, Stainer, to the game, where they meet Molly and her friend Patty. While Stainer and Molly are away from their seats, Patty tells Kirk that Molly is interested in him.

    Molly asks Kirk out a few days later and he agrees. Stainer predicts their relationship will fail, he refers to Molly as a "10", and Kirk as a "5", saying that is too big a difference. Patty meanwhile believes Molly has only chosen Kirk because he is "safe". While on their date, Kirk tells Molly that he dreams of becoming a pilot, while Molly shares her story of how she was once a lawyer before realizing her love for event planning. At the end of the night, they kiss in Kirk's car.

    Molly accompanies Kirk to a family lunch, where she charms the men and makes Marnie jealous. After returning to Molly's apartment, while making out, Kirk ejaculates prematurely in his pants and moments later Molly's parents arrive. Desperate to conceal the stain on his pants, Kirk seems discourteous by not standing up to shake hands and leaves quickly. Believing he fled to avoid meeting her parents, Molly ignores Kirk's calls. Kirk tracks her down and admits the true reasons for his leaving and she forgives him.

    At Molly's sister Katie's 21st birthday party, Kirk is troubled by Molly being intentionally vague about Kirk's line of work to her parents. Molly's ex-boyfriend Cam, a stunt pilot, then arrives and alludes to Molly having a physical defect. After the party, they return to Molly's apartment and partially undress. Kirk discovers Molly's "defect" is slightly webbed toes, which Kirk considers so minor that he decides that she is indeed too perfect for him. Upset with Kirk over his insecurities and wishing that there was something wrong with her to justify them being together, Molly confesses that Cam had the same problem. She admits she asked Kirk out because she considered him safe, causing Kirk to break up with her. Kirk resumes his relationship with Marnie and makes plans to attend a family vacation in Branson together.

    Later, Stainer asks an ex-girlfriend of his if he was good enough for her, she tells him that his insecurities caused her to end their relationship. Realizing he caused Kirk and Molly's break-up by telling Kirk that Molly was too good for him, Stainer phones Patty and gets her to bring Molly to the airport. Stainer tries to get Kirk off the plane he has boarded, but to no avail. He has Jack stop the plane, causing everyone to have to de-board. Kirk flees from Marnie, who chases after him, and Kirk breaks up with her in the process. Kirk meets Molly at the terminal gate, where she confesses Kirk's insecurities about himself are justified, but that she wants to be with him regardless. They reconcile and resume their relationship.

    In the ending credits, Kirk surprises Molly with a mystery trip to Cleveland via small aircraft, as he has fulfilled his dream of becoming a pilot

    S2 E25: Knocked Up

    S2 E25: Knocked Up

    This week we rewatch the Judd Apatow classic 'Knocked Up'. Did you know Jay Baruchel used to be on the show 'Popular Mechanics' for kids with Elisha Cuthbert back in the day. There’s also a scene where Seth Rogen is dancing and incessentantly does the ‘dice roll’ move on the d-floor… definitely one of the most awkward moves to try and pull out.

    Ep 21: Pets - How To Train Your Dragon & Marley And Me

    Ep 21: Pets - How To Train Your Dragon & Marley And Me

    In this episode of Parallel Fiction, Heather and Jeff celebrate the companions we keep, and the stories that highlight their importance.  Heather and Jeff are presenting two stories about Pets, the theme of the show, and giving their honest and emotional opinions on what it means to own, raise, and bond with a pet.

     

    Heather begins the summary portion with an outline of Marley and Me, an autobiography from John Grogan.  She beings by explaining that this is not a fictional piece of work, but lets it slide as this could be anybody’s story and fits the theme well.  The memoir follows the Grogan family as they experience the growing pains of owning a hyper active dog.  Heather gets very emotional talking about the last days of Marley’s life, and reflects on how that’s often times the worst part of owning a pet. 

     

    Did you know?  In the film adaptation, 22 dogs played the role of Marley, at different stage throughout his life.

     

    Jeff brings us back for part 2 of the summary portion of the show, outlining the 2010 computer animated classic How To Train Your Dragon.  In the story, Jeff presents the bond between main character Hiccup, and his unlikely pet and ally Toothless.  Through sweet moments between the two, the kid and dragon end up understanding each other and forming a bond that saves Hiccup’s Viking village.  Jeff explains the similarities between the dragon and a cat, and appreciates how the film doesn’t talk down to children, its intended audience.  Instead, the film was just as enjoyable to Jeff as an adult and for all ages.

     

    Fun Fact!  Music director John Powell was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on this film, but lost to Trent Reznor.  Not a bad loss though, as Reznor is a decorated producer with credits in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys.


     

    Following these reviews, Heather and Jeff dive into commonalities between the two works such as choosing a pet, responsibility, naming your pet, giving time & attention, and cherished memories.

     

    Listen in to hear Jeff and Heather’s candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each story, how Marley And Me and How To Train Your Dragon compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate the two. Share this episode with all the pet lovers in your life!

     

    Heather’s rating for Marley And Me: Nice – If you’re a pet owner, you will really enjoy this story.  The memoir moves a bit slow, the movie may be a better choice.


     

    Jeff’s rating for How To Train Your Dragon: Super Nice – Even though we don’t put any stock in the Rotten Tomatoe’s score, this movie sits at 99% fresh as of February 2021 and has earned every bit of that.

    Episode 44 - The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)

    It's too late to 'pologize...It's too late!

    After the aural assault that we laid upon their fans last episode, the boys have returned with their tails between their legs to review a normal, light-hearted, magical romp through New York City a la Nic's 2010 classic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Brian asserts that this film is based entirely off of the Mickey Mouse "Fantasia" short of the same name. Brock asserts "Wtf are you talking about?"

    Before all that, the "Baruchel Bros" discuss politics, religion, sex and relationships...Or rather, they recap the fallout from drinking on last week's episode, the horrible state of shape that they are in, and their disgust with two of Hollywood's Elite. 

    Let's get into it!

    Good Neighbors: Featurette

    Good Neighbors: Featurette
    Neighbors Spencer (Scott Speedman) and Louise (Emily Hampshire) have bonded over their fascination with a recent string of murders terrorizing their community. When a new tenant named Victor (Jay Baruchel) arrives in the building, all three quickly hit it off. But as they soon discover, each of them has their own dark secret. As the violence outside mounts, the city retreats indoors for safety. But the more time these three spend together in their apartment building, the clearer it becomes that what they once thought of as a safe haven is as dangerous as any outside terrors they could imagine. Smart dialogue, strong performances and jarring thrills give this film all the elements of a great mystery.
