Cup Of Tea Reviews

Greyhound (2020)

A straight down the middle WWII action movie hits the mark for our hosts this week. Tom Hanks, compelling action and solid historical interpretation combine to put you on the bridge of destroyer in the North Atlantic in this immersive naval film. 

The Golden Compass (2007)

Based on the popular book series, The Golden Compass (2007) tried to appeal to everyone, and in doing so, made all the classic book adaptation mistakes. Get the full breakdown of the film in this week's episode. 

Cliffhanger (1993)

Sylvester Stallone stars as a rock climber who gets caught up in a life or death struggle with a group of thieves in the peaks of the Western US. Some incredible rock climbing mixed with some overextended plot twists net out to a middling good-bad movie for our hosts.  

2012 (2009)

This big-budget disaster movie ate up nearly $250 million in 2021 USD, so our hosts had to check it out. Sadly, more than a decade after its release, this film has not stood the test of time. 

Boss Level (2021)

An homage to beating video game bosses brings a creative premise to the table - combining Groundhog Day with John Wick. However, despite a neat idea, the film gets lost along the way and lost our hosts. 

What To Watch On Halloween

This week, our hosts sit down to reflect on the Halloween-esque movies watched over the last year of the podcast. Tune in for some recommendations of what to watch this Halloween! 

Double Team (1997)

An aging Jean-Claude Van Damme, a peak Dennis Rodman and a convoluted yet somehow generic spy-thriller plot did not add up to greatness. With an odd assortment of action and comedy, this week our hosts tackle one of the more confounding movies of the late 90's. 

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)

This week our hosts take a trip through Americana via Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Our hosts battle over what side of the fence this film should fall on in a rare split vote. 

Fear (1996)

Mark Wahlberg & Reese Witherspoon star in a mid-90s psychological thriller that accelerated both of their careers. With all the trappings of a teen thriller flick, this film didn't... scare... our hosts away. 

The Tomorrow War (2021)

Our hosts selected a recent film this week in The Tomorrow War, released in 2021. With a blend of sci-fi action with a side of drama, this picture split our hosts' reviews by the slimmest of margins.
