Hawkeye

Hawkeye, Marvel's latest series on Disney+, was a surprisingly strong take on the Avengers' weakest link.  Too often, heavy-hitters like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America take center-stage, while Clint Barton ends up as a supporting player.

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

Happy New Year from all of us at Cinemavino!  Here's to the hope that 2022 will improve on 2021's dire situation.  On the movie front, only a few movies take place on or around NYE, but we've found a bona fide 90s classic:  Sleepless in Seattle.

Die Hard 2 (1990)

The debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie should be deader than disco.  It is, and it always has been.  If anything, this Bruce Willis classic is a delightful piece of counter-programming to the sticky fluff we have to deal with thi...

The Holiday (2006)

We're gonna kick off this season with a series of very different Christmas flicks.  That begins with The Holiday, a prototypical offering of Hollywood schmaltz.  It was written and directed by Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give),

Guilty Pleasure Movies (The Brian Dennehy Special)

With that in mind, this week Trav and I go over our guilty pleasure movies. To pair with it, I came up with a decadent concoction called Chocolate Sangria. To make it, start with two parts Chocovine–a cordial-type blend of ...

We Don't Need Another Hero

*This is a re-upload of our Venom podcast. On October 11, 2018, Cinemavino debuted on an unsuspecting world. Much like WWE, it was beautiful, gripping…it was RAW. And it was just me and Trav. Taylor was somewhere deep in th...

The Beatles: Get Back (Episodes 2 & 3)

The Beatles: Get Back (Episode 1)

Thirteen Ghosts (2001)

Thirteen Ghosts marks the final entry in our Halloween season.  Everyone seemed to enjoy this one a little more than me.  It does have the cheesy, guilty pleasure factor in its favor, but I also found Ghosts to be jarring, uneven, and poorly executed.
