Bunker Movie Buff

Hey guys, with the craziness of the Holiday season I was not able to record The newest episode following the MCU Infinity Saga so please enjoy the episode on Chris Hemsworth's action film Extraction from Netflix.

Bruce Banner, a scientist on the run from the U.S. Government, must find a cure for the monster he turns into whenever he loses his temper.  Trying to live in peace just isn't in the cards for Edward Norton in what is arguably the best solo Hulk film and most forgotten MCU movie ever.  Join me as we take a look at why this movie is so forgotten and maybe we can get it back to the level that the film deserves as one of the origin pieces for one of Earths Mightiest Heroes.

With the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.  This was the highly anticipated sequel to the highly successful 2008 Iron Man film directed by John Favreau.  Will Tony be back to his old egotistical or will he be the hero that the people need, are there to many story lines to count?  I don't know, but let's find out this week on the Bunker Movie Buff.

After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.  This is it people, the film that kicked off the entire MCU franchise.  With the exception of 2004s Punisher this was the first live action super hero film worth seeing in more than a decade, do you agree?

Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.  Watch one of the MCUs most badass women with me in this weeks episode as we take a look at Brie Larson's depiction of Captain Marvel.

Steve Rogers, a rejected military soldier, transforms into Captain America after taking a dose of a "Super-Soldier serum". But being Captain America comes at a price as he attempts to take down a war monger and a terrorist organization.  It's the fifth film made but first in the line up for this exciting second season look at the MCU Infinity Saga!!!

Barney augments his team with new blood for a personal battle: to take down Conrad Stonebanks, the Expendables co-founder and notorious arms trader who is hell bent on wiping out Barney and every single one of his associates.  The third and final part of the Expendables franchise.  Join me in this final explosive third part of the major collaboration hit of some of cinemas greatest action stars.

The story is a fictionalized account of the Tsavo Man-Eaters, two Tsavo lions that attacked and killed workers at Tsavo, Kenya during the building of the Uganda-Mombasa Railway in East Africa in 1898.  This is a really good one if you have ever been interested in man eaters, animals that once they get the taste for human flesh tend to eat it a bit more often then other meats.  If blood makes you squeamish this is definitely not the film for you.  Journey with me this week to Kenya as we meet the Ghost and the Darkness.

Centurion is a British historical action-war film directed by Neil Marshall, loosely based on the disappearance of the Roman Empire's Ninth Legion in Caledonia in the early second century AD.  The film stars Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, and Olga Kurylenko.  It received mixed to positive reviews but performed poorly at the box office, only earning half of its $12 million budget.  If you're like me this is a very underrated film that deserves another look.  Join me as I take a look at what I would call a well done historical fiction film.

Spirited Away, a Hayao Miyazaki classic, is a favorite for me and my girlfriend.  She joins me in this weeks episode as we go through one of our favorite studio Ghibli films.  Listen in as we talk and joke about, Chihiro's adventure through the spirit world to save her pig parents from vengeful spirits that wouldn't mind having something tasty to eat.

Rankin and Bass try again to bring Tolkien to the screen with this animated version of book three of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but were they successful?  I'll be giving my thoughts on the matter.  Lets see if you agree.

Beautifully designed backgrounds, some disturbing main characters, and a lot of guys with spray paint on them.  That's what your first impression might be when you first see Ralph Bakshi's adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.  Now while this is all true just remember to take into account the story that we all love and is the main reason that you wanted to watch this film in the first place.  So join me as I explore Bakshi's Middle Earth with Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and hopefully you.
