Here B. Monsters: Hi, um, we are interested in the, uh, that, uh, the new one, the Canon EOS C300?
B&H: How many are you interested in purchasing at this time?
H.B.M.: Um, all of them?

Film Review: Contraband
Jim Rohner of Queue The Day reviews Contraband for The Script Lab:
“Contraband is essentially Ocean’s Eleven on a boat only with a budget that could just afford one A-lister and the tone of good-natured pilfering replaced with gravely serious matters of life and death. If you can get past the fact that Barry Ackroyd assumes he’s still shooting a Paul Greengrass film, you’ll see a crime caper that revels in the joy of a band of highly skilled criminals reuniting to pull off a high risk, high reward job with a healthy dose of twists, turns and near misses along the way. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, but if you’re a fan of Mark Wahlberg acting all tough and quipping one-liners in between beating the shit out of guys with less sculpted abs, you’ll find plenty to keep you satisfied.”
A short teaser for Last Night in Warsaw, a new short film directed by Juan Reinoso under the aegis of Wayfinder Films. Post-production by Here B. Monsters.
Queue The Day: Jim's Ten Best Films of 2011
Queue The Day, a film podcast from the likes of Geoff Gresh and Jim Rohner, previously (and currently) of Texts with Jim. Coming soon. WE PROMISE.
In the interest of full disclosure, I feel somewhat ill-equipped to create such a list seeing as I have not partaken in many of the films that are/will be appearing on the plethora of critics’ “Best of” lists in which the Internet is mired - Beginners, We Need to Talk About Kevin, War Horse, A Separation, Tyrannosaur, Take Shelter and Shame were all films I had intended to see, but never did for reasons having to do with time, financial and/or pornographic restraints.
Despite my hesitations, I (clearly) have moved forward on the creation of the list anyway primarily for two reasons: 1) like all Internet critics, I’m a pretentious douche bag who assumes people’s well-being depend on hearing my opinion and 2) I REALLY want to hear what my fellow pretentious albeit significantly beardier douche bag, Geoff, has to say to in response to this list. .
