Little Voice 1998 - The Film With Three Brains Review E090

A demure mimic sounds golden to sleazy star-maker, Michael Caine when he hears the pitch-perfect imitation of her late father's favorite songbirds (Ella, Judy, Marlene, Marilyn, Shirley). Little Voice's motormouth mom, under his sugar-tongued spell, dreams of riches, romance and rescue... in no particularly order. This sleeper comedy earned more awards nominations than money but is it still worth singing its praises?

Beat Street 1984 - The Film With Three Brains Review E088

Rushed to the screen (just behind rival flick, Breakin') to capitalize on the breakdancing fad, this forgotten flick captures the birth of hip hop like no other. Do the Robot, beatbox and graffiti deserve a remix? Put on some old school headphones and hear us spin.

A Fish Called Wanda 1988 - The Film With Three Brains Review E087

Race With The Devil 1975 - The Film With Three Brains Review E086

This Peter Fonda, Warren Oates vehicle is literally a 36 ft camper. It's also a front runner for the horror on wheels genre. There's no devil, but a bunch of ne'er-do-well Texan Satanists armed with rattlesnakes chasing our heroes... why wouldn't you want to watch this?

The Cable Guy 1996 - The Film With Three Brains Review E085

Jim Carrey stars as The Cable Guy who tries too hard to make friends with a customer (Matthew Broderick, again!) and things go haywire. This Ben Stiller comedy was too dark for 90's critics but what about today's audiences? Lighten up and listen... "no big deeeeeeeal."

Midnight Express 1978 - The Film With Three Brains Review E084

Do you like movies about gladiators? You ever seen a grown man naked? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? No, not Airplane... Billy Hayes' autobiographical* Midnight Express proves one should "never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Oliver Stone's award-winning screenwriting debut destroyed Turkish tourism; is it still worth it?

A Simple Plan 1998 - The Film With Three Brains Review E083

An average guy (Bill Paxton) and two underachievers (Billy Bob Thornton & friend) come across four million "lost" dollars in the woods and agree to a plan to keep it. Bad decisions abound in this viscerally uncomfortable thriller. Does an Oscar-nominated performance elevate its rewatchability, or is it still just a guilty pleasure?

Fright Night 1985 - The Film With Three Brains Review E082

Death Becomes Her 1992 - The Film With Three Brains Review E081

When does Death Become Her? How does Death Become Her? Why does Death Become Her? And who is her? This isn't just another Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn CGI-ridden goofball comedy... or is it? Hear a guest brain tell us the answers! Hint: Do you know what they do to soft, bald, overweight Republicans in prison, Ernest?

Clerks 1994 - The Film With Three Brains Review E080

Sharp-tongued store clerks shoot the sh*t in this slacker gen-X comedy. Kevin Smith's debut influenced a generation of indie filmmakers but is it worth being a repeat customer? Join the Brains as they take on the phenomenon of Clerks, wherever you buy chewing gum.

SpaceCamp 1986 - The Film With Three Brains Review E079

Disney accidentally launches 5 kids into space (but only three are propelled to stardom) in this feel good family flick from '86. Are Space Shuttle movies still out of this world?

Ladyhawke 1985 - The Film With Three Brains Review E078

Have the brains reviewed enough movies to say this is a Beastmaster/Ferris Bueller's Day off mashup? Are they mature enough to say it takes more than Michelle Pfeiffer eye candy to make a movie worthwhile? Tune in for a real beast of a fantasy.

Matinee 1993 - The Film With Three Brains Review E077

John Goodman plays a larger than life B-movie maker in Joe Dante's not quite coming-of-age homage to 1950's creature features. When the film with a film is better than the film itself, will the Brains even care... or has the radiation poisoning already set in?
