A simple deportation and a new Vin Diesel movie: all's right with the world!
Synopsis
Tim apologizes for the events of last week and announces that, due to a visa issue, Ayaka has had to return to Japan. He also explains that the age and cultural differences between them were “too vast.” He seems bummed out, but also vows that whoever stole Gregg's copy of Airheads will have “hell to pay.” Gregg says he was able to replace the tape for only $4, but Tim promises to reimburse him anyway.
The only film up for review is Riddick, directed by David Twee…er, Twohy, and starring Vin Diesel. Tim enjoyed the film, and the two compare Riddick to a host of great franchises including Jack Reacher, Star Trek, and James Bond. Tim loves the combination of action, sci-fi, Vin Diesel, and Karl Urban, calling it “a hit.” Gregg ranks this among Diesel's top three movies.
Gregg is a bit surprised when Tim starts to wrap up the show, thinking there were two movies, but Tim says there was only one coming out. Tim advertises the On Cinema 2013 Film Guide app, and they both plug the On Cinema mug.
Gregg provides an update on his 500 Movies in 500 Days campaign. At 35 days in, he says he has watched 51 movies, well ahead of schedule, but does not plan to take a break. He shows the audience the last three movies he watched: City by the Sea (2002, 104 mins.), Forces of Nature (1999, 105 mins.), and I.Q. (1994, 96 mins.). He encourages the audience to donate to his Kickstarter fund so he can acquire more movies, in exchange for a Certificate of Thanks “and some other goodies.” Tim offers his support and encouragement.
