In fact it's Pippi times two, as Jeff and Lisa end up watching and reviewing two completely different versions! Plus an unusual amount of digressions: Lisa recalls a table reading with Dawn Wells and playing ping-pong with Walter Koenig, while Jeff reminisces about going to the movies as a kid in Minnesota. Plus Jeff thoroughly enjoys the new Rambo flick. And if you listen closely, about 20 minutes in you can hear Lisa's cat purring.

For a much better account of the MIT Blackjack Team, Jeff recommends the excellent History Channel documentary Breaking Vegas.

And then there's the beautiful Away From Her, with an Oscar nominated performance by Julie Christie as a woman stricken with Alzheimerâs.

And then there's Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme's seminal 1984 concert film which perfectly captures Talking Heads live onstage. Also discussed: Knocked Up, Martian Child and the return of Lost. And Lisa really, really thinks Jeff needs to watch Monk. Plus somehow at the end Jeff and Lisa end up on a tangent about football and figure skating. Just give us what we want and no one gets hurt.

Strong performances by Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard prevail, but does the screenplay and story hold up? On the other hand there's Death Wish, which just might be a better movie than you remember it. Also Jeff continues on his X-Files mission, Lisa gets caught up in Holly Hunter's new TV series Saving Grace, Jeff thinks that Emmys in the round is a lame idea and Lisa can't get enough of Monk and Extras.

No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Lisa was able to get to the movies this week with baby to catch Stardust. Does this balance of fairy tale, fantasy and comedy hold its own against Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride? Also this week Jeff recommends the excellent 80s arcade game documentary The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters. In addition Jeff takes in the romantic comedy Love Actually, while Lisa gives her take on Roger Dodger.

In yet another very-special-episode, Jeff and Lisa do a comparison of a movie and the TV show from where it came. But really it's just an excuse for Lisa and Jeff to talk about a series they both love and reminisce about watching it together. It was a time of important lessons learned such as never eat while watching The X-Files. And sad though it may be to admit, when did this great series jump the shark? Also discussed this week: Mean Girls and the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

This week Jeff and Lisa look at two movies about voyeurism and murder. Disturbia (2007) has an excellent performance by Shia LaBeouf, but when the suspense part kicks in, can it hold its own against the master himself, Alfred Hitchcock? Jeff finishes the new Harry Potter book (no spoilers, we promise) meanwhile Lisa finds herself in need of the romantic comedy stylings of Wimbledon. She also checks out the movie version of Starsky And Hutch in search of some laughs but doesn't find any.

Jeff and Lisa review Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix and the Disney classic Escape To Witch Mountain. They are very impressed with the film version of J.K. Rowling's sprawling novel, especially the screenplay and acting. Re-watching the 1975 Disney film about two kids with telekinetic powers, Jeff and Lisa both dreaded the possibility it would not hold up to the magical memory in their heads. It did! Watch this one with your kids. This Is Spinal Tap and Extras round up this episode.

Jeff and Lisa examine these two excellent films by this controversial documentary filmmaker. With Sicko, you get the best of Michael Moore, an important subject matter brought to life by terrific interviews, humor and engaging storytelling. Roger And Me, his most personal film, leaves no doubt you are watching a great satirist and filmmaker's career begin. Also, Jeff tempts fate by going to Live Free Or Die Hard and Lisa rents Breach.

The men are great too, so don't be afraid! Jeff and Lisa also feel the term chick flick is utterly stupid and is making it more difficult for films like Waitress to get studio backing. Skip all the sequels this summer and catch the sweet treat of Waitress. Dying to see two elderly gentlemen, one who might be Elvis, battle ancient Egyptian evil in Texas?

Jeff was sure Friedkin was back in 1970's form until the last half-hour of Bug. However, Lisa manages to excite him even further about the gritty originality of Bug which garners her a high-five from her friend. They love The Exorcist, but not Friedkin's temperamental behavior towards the actors and original composer. Is Friedkin's Twilight Zone episode an homage to Lathe Of Heaven? Jeff salivates over release of Larry Sanders show on DVD and talks about the Lost season finale. Lisa is big on Medium and Rush's Snakes and Arrows.

His career may have gotten off to a rocky start with Alien3, but he hasn't made a bad movie since. So this week Jeff and Lisa check out his latest film Zodiac, while also watching the Alien3 Special Edition DVD which has been restored to the director's original assembly cut. How does it hold up? Tune in and see. Also Jeff geeks out at WonderCon while Lisa ponders whether or not Boston Legal has jumped the shark.

Wow. If you find this freaky, then you might find The Number 23 to be a riveting filmgoing experience. But as far as psychological thrillers go, Jeff and Lisa will take Rosemary's Baby any day. Also this week Jeff and Lisa discuss the Oscars, plus Trail Of The Pink Panther and Best Laid Plans.

Bridge To Terabithia is adapted from the book by Katherine Paterson and there's a lot more depth to this movie than the trailers would lead you to believe. Matilda (1996), a little gem of a movie directed by Danny DeVito, is from the book by Roald Dahl. Also Jeff and Lisa (and Jeff's cat) survive the claustrophobic horror of The Descent.

Tora! http://filmednotstirred.com/index.php?post_id=185227# On this week's show it's two war movies (a.k.a. Lisa's nightmare episode). Clint Eastwood's Letters From Iwo Jima, a companion piece to Flags Of Our Fathers, tells the Iwo Jima story from the Japanese perspective. The 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! depicts the attack on Pearl Harbor, masterfully intercutting between both the American and Japanese point of view. Also Lisa takes in the terrific spelling bee documentary Spellbound while Jeff watches Saw III. All this plus Jeff and Lisa cast their imaginary Oscar ballots for Best Picture.

Seems like there is always one movie during awards season that is way over-hyped so tune in to find out which one of these films Jeff and Lisa think is overrated (here's a hint: it's Babel).

Plus Kelly Leak gets an Oscar nomination! Also discussed this week: Saw II and those crazy woman-as-victim Lifetime movies.

Should Helen Mirren or Judi Dench win the Oscar? Jeff ponders whether it's wrong to enjoy a movie like Saw more than My Beautiful Laundrette, while Lisa catches up with The Da Vinci Code (the actor who plays Silas is Paul Bettany, by the way). All this plus the return of Jack Bauer -- do we buy the fact that the events on 24 are actually in real-time?

This week, Jeff and Lisa discuss Notes On A Scandal (2006) and The Children's Hour (1961). Also Lisa visits The Lake House and wonders if it'd make a better book than a movie. Plus Jeff climbs aboard Airplane! again for some good reliable laughs. It's just what they're expecting us to do.

And while talking about Superman IV, Jeff mistakenly refers to director Sidney J. Furie as Steven J. Furie -- the sad thing being no drinking was involved. All this, plus shout-outs to Outland and The Hunt For Red October.

How does The Holiday stack up next to one of the finest romantic comedies ever made? Tune in and see. Also Jeff takes in the Richard Lester Superman films. Plus Lisa is genuinely creeped out by the Japanese weirdness that is called Audition.

Zwick's latest film Blood Diamond brings to light the terrible conflict diamond trade in Africa, while Glory (1989) tells the true story of the first black regiment in the U.S. Civil War. Also Jeff checks out Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.

Also Lisa thinks they cut too much of Miranda Otto out of The Two Towers theatrical version while Jeff salivates over his new (yet still unopened) 14-DVD set Of Superman.

All this, plus what's the deal with all of the red-shirts on Lost this season? The last scene is shown first and the first scene is shown last. In fact, the story of Memento is told completely backwards. Both films deal with themes of obsessive revenge while playing in interesting ways with the narrative timeline of events. This week, Jeff and Lisa take a look at his latest film The Prestige. Christopher Nolan's Memento was one of the most impressive feature film debuts ever.

This time Jeff and Lisa take a look at two movies about the life of Marie Antoinette, one from 2006 and the other from 1938. Letting everyone down would be their greatest unhappiness.

Also thrown in are gratuitous references to Rush, U2 and shark steak sandwiches.

I'll make it.
