Alternate Ending

Alternate Ending was formed when three friends realized that they all shared a passion for movies. Tim had been reviewing films at his old blog Antagony & Ecstasy for over a decade, and Rob & Carrie had found great success with their year-old podcast, when they all decided to combine forces to create a new site, dedicated to their desire to watch and discuss the best (and worst) that cinema has to offer. The result is the website you see before you. What makes Alternate Ending different from all the other film sites on the internet? Well, we humbly suggest that it's the three of us: very different people with very different thoughts about the movie. 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 site for people who can't get to the theater until the third week a film is out; a site for people who just want to find something great to stream online after the kids have gone to sleep, a site 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 site 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.

This week's episode is coming to you a week late, and for that we apologize. Though, fiesty-ness levels are high due to lack of sleep and new-phone-setup drama, so maybe we're not sorry.

From just plain defining "aliens" to just generally attacking each other for our alien preferences, the episode gets a little snappy.

But we'll let you decide, are Avatar's really aliens? Is Yoda just a really old human? We ask you decide, but there is really only one answer to all these questions.

Tune in!

It’s time to put zombie month to bed with a film that is an old classic for Tim and a new enemy of Brennan’s: the early Spanish zombie movie TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD!. This is going to be a contentious one, y’all!

Carrie and Rob catch-up on the world of streaming. Rob shares his big concerns about the future of cinema and Carrie squashes them with her certainty that "things always seem to work themselves out."

In worth mentioning, we review Demons 2 and Grave of the Fireflies. We will never forgive our patrons for the misery they've caused us.

Tune in!

Zombie month has officially risen from the grave, and we’re starting with a resolutely peculiar entry, the 2008 Canadian indie PONTYPOOL! Tim and Brennan break down whether or not the core conceit makes sense and if that matters, as well as discussing the subjectivity of horror and following up on a bit of tangential Elvira material!

Between that and the gung-ho feature length military advertisement Top Gun: Maverick continuing its jaw-dropping run at the box office (and secondarily, US Independence Day), it seemed like a perfect time to take a look at the long history of movies designed in part, or in full, to celebrate the love of Queen and Country, give or take the Queen.

We'll be bringing you our Top 5 patriotic movies, with celebrations of national pride from the U.S. and around the globe (Tim does love his Japanese WWII propaganda films), those films that make you want to stand up and sing the bits of the national anthem that you actually know the words to.

Come wave a flag with us, we're not choosy about which one. Tune in!

  1. Rocky IV
  2. Independence Day 
  3. Armageddon
