Ed fights the law, did the law win? Dredd and more reviewed!

Sometimes it feels like it's just you versus the world ... but then other times it only feels like it's you and a mutant rookie officer versus a gigantic skyscraper fortress full of goons. It's nice to be able to take it easy from time to time, just don't ever take off the helmet (Looking at you Stallone!) and always keep your trigger finger ready to lay down some gratuitously judicious violence.

With that in mind Ed checked out Dredd to see if it was as good as the word-of-mouth was making it out to be, scope out his review right over here.

Looking for something a little more subdued? Maybe something not in English? Well Ed has you covered! In his most recent bout of Streaming Roulette he lucked out with a little Norwegian flick called Oslo, August 31st so be sure to check that out right over here!

It's a Cinebriated Christmas! Ed is making a list and checking it thrice!

Every year around this time cinebriates the world over dust of the perrenial holiday classics and while everyone's yuletide movie selections vary (I'm I Home Alone and Lethal Weapon guy myself) the important part is they bring Christmas cheer and warm the wintery frost off our cynical hearts.

With that sentiment in mind check out Ed's Christmas Playlist where he breaks down his top three all-time Christmas movies! It's a pretty eclectic threesome but Ed's a pretty eclectic guy, jingle your bells right on over here to check out his list!

Be sure to let us know what your go-to Christmas movies are in the comments, we've got that up and running now just in time for 2013!

While you're at it be sure to head over to the Ministry of Mixology for Ed's latest alcholic concoction the "Yuletide Yeti". It's got brandy, egg nog and more brandy a perfect mix for surviving the relatives!

From all of us here at Cinebriated.com we wish you all of the holiday cheer you can handle and then some, Merry Christmas!

Now if you'll excuse me I have a bit of last minute decorating to do ...

Ed's just got to ramble ... The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey reviewed!

 

The above gif just about sums up Ed's quest to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last weekend in the new 3D 48 frames-per-second format director Peter Jackson has been championing.

So head full of curiosity and heart full of hope he hopped in his metallic steed and kicked some asphalt. His sojourn to The Lonely Mountain took him Northward a couple of hours to the nearest IMAX screen to check out the first installment of the Middle Earth prequel trilogy but was it worth the roadtrip?

Was the new 48fps a failed experiment or the next logical step for film?

Did Ed do his really lame and ill-advised Gandalf impersonation each time someone tried to pass him on the highway at the risk of his and other motorists safety?

That last one was rhetorical ... of course he did. Check out his full review right here!

Ed dusts off some early Hitchcock with his ongoing "Speaking in Tongues" series!

Alfred Hitchcock was a master filmmaker, even the early stuff of his oeuvre already had the mark of an artist that knew and relished the medium of film.

His classics are well known and rightly so, but Ed wanted to delve a bit deeper into the Hitchcock catalogue so that's exactly what he did in his ongoing "Speaking in Tongues" column.

First up is Hitchcock's playful murder mystery Young and Innocent from 1937. Also known as "The Girl Was Young" this early Hitchcock flick is a bit more lighthearted than many of his late films Ed found it wholly enjoyable, check out it out right over here!

But Ed wasn't content, he had to go back even further and what he found was 1929's Blackmail. While this Hitchcock picture is somewhat of silent/early talkie it still possesses some of the hallmarks of The Master of Suspense and almost serves as something of a cautionary moral tale of lust, read up on it right over here!

Don't forget, be sure to check The Talking Ed in the coming weeks as Ed continues to explore one of the great masters of cinema. There's a lot of great movies out there, Hitchcock just happened to direct a lot of them.

Streaming Roulette double shot to the head with Ed and Joe!

Ed and Joe's Netflix Instant Watch queues were filling up so both figured it was time to spin the chamber and put the barrel to their temple. Some times you just gotta roll the dice and hope for the best ...

The bad news? Neither one of them was blown away with cinematic perfection but at least neither of them had a total dud on their hands.

- Get Ed's take on last year's Willem Defoe survivalist flick The Hunter -

  - While 2010's The Fat Boy Chronicles may hit a little close to home for Joe -

One of these days there will be a Streaming Roulette casualty, we really are playing against the odds at this point.
