CineFix Top 100

Planet of the Apes was a franchise spawning phenomenon in the late 60s. Living in the center of the sci fi spectrum, it wore its b-movie camp on its sleeve right next to relevant social commentary. With Charlton Heston playing opposite some revolutionary make up effects, off a script by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling and a former HUAC blacklist-er, Planet of the Apes took everyone by surprise. Clint, Alex and CineFix’s senior Apes Correspondent Scott Collura talk about the impossibility of watching this movie in proper context, the genius and often overlooked score, how The Simpsons lovingly spoils classic film and creative new ways to pronounce Orangutan. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm hates every ape it sees, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee...

There was not a faster rising star in the mid 90s than Jim Carrey. After an 18 month window that gave us Ave Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, The Mask and Batman Forever, it was a little surprising to see him take a more dramatic role in Peter Weir’s The Truman Show. The story of Truman Burbank slowly discovering that he’s the unwitting star of a lifelong reality TV show marked a real turning point in his career. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about the overlooked greatness of key grips, how the film was both ahead of its time AND very of its time and how staggeringly good Laura Linney is. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm says there’s no more truth out there than in the world it created for us...

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The Dark Knight landed in the middle of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy like an escaped Arkham inmate with the superpower to create prestige cinema in a world of comic book. The middle act of a three part re-telling of Bruce Wayne’s origins as the caped crusader find him squaring off against the Joker in a battle for nothing less than the soul of Gotham. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss Heath Ledger (of course), the breathless pace of the editing (that sometimes works against the movie) and whether or not The Dark Knight’s legacy has been tarnished by the superhero bubble we’re currently in the midst of. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm wonders if you want to know how it got these scars...

Toy Story tells the tale of the sentient toys of Andy’s bedroom who come to life when we’re not looking. While an out of context synopsis of the movie sounds like a horror movie, the adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear would turn out to be an impossible to understate influence on the entire film industry. Clint, Cal and Alex talk about believing your toys are real, how film history can be split into the eras of pre and post Toy Story and what’s REALLY the most unrealistic part of the movie.. Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm is blowing up Combat Carl’s in its backyard...
