Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized they all shared a passion for movies. Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid.
What makes Alternate Ending different from other film sites and podcasts? Well, we’re not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We’re two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we’re being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good.
Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it should do it. We want to celebrate our different opinions, and celebrate yours as well.
This isn't a site for people who just want to talk about the latest hot new movies in theaters right this minute. This is a place for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a place for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a place for people whose favorite pastime is to grab a bunch of classic films on DVD from the library and watch them all weekend. It's a place that believes that every great movie is a wonderful new treasure, whether you see it the night of its premiere or fifty years later. It's a site about discovering good movies... one bad movie at a time.
Join us for our weekly review of movies worth seeing, worth avoiding and our Top 5 lists – and don’t forget to play along at www.alternateending.com.
We're so glad you've been loving our newish episode series TAKE 2! This week you're in for a real treat, as Brennan double-clicks on Rob's thoughts of the 2008 vamp-love story Twilight!
There's so much to cringe at: Rob's obsession with the male physique, his failings at high school dating and so much more.
If you've listened to Alternate Ending for awhile, you know we're all hell bent on making film-loving competitive. So, this episode as we sit down to talk about our TOP 5 RIVALRIES, its primed for some good old jabs.
In worth mentioning we review Godzilla: King of the Monsters, WeWork documentary and Assassin 33 A.D.
With #GodzillaVsKong coming this weekend (for the second time!), we’ve turned our attention to some of the best versus-es in cinema history - antagonism, fighting and lifelong grudges we look at them all!
While we prepare for a clash for the ages, we invite all of you to share your own picks for the best rivalries for a chance to win a free Amazon movie rental!
Take on the film critic, the film school drop out and the casual moviegoer to see how your movie knowledge stacks up!
