Berkreviews.com Movie Club - Phone Booth (2002)

2019 continues on as we roll into the shortest month of every year; February! Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) started Movie Club Podcast when they both realized they had a ton of movies they'd never seen but had no real good reason that they hadn't yet. In an effort to work through their respective gap lists by using this show to ensure they at least check one new film off one of their lists almost every week. 

February 2019 - 90 Minutes or less

In honor of this short month, Jonathan and Corey decided their film selections should be shorter than 90 minutes. So, the only criteria governing the movies for February are the runtime plus the fact that the person picking the film is supposed to have never seen it before or at least not recently. Though, more often than not, the movies on this months list were not seen by either before the viewing for the episode. 

Week 2 - Phone Booth (2002)

For week 2, Jonathan selected Phone Booth primarily because of the cast and that it is a mere 1hr 21 minutes. Though the films director, Joel Schumacher, has had many ups and downs with both Jonathan and Corey with a couple examples on this podcast (Flatliners and Phantom of the Opera). The cast includes Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, and Forest Whitaker though Jonathan was hooked with Farrell's involvement. IMDb.com says the plot is "Publicist Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist's sniper rifle. Unable to leave or get help from the surrounding bystanders, Stuart negotiates with the caller that leads to a jaw-dropping climax."
