The Breakdown of 'Sand Castle', 'Tramps' and the Summer Box Office Challenge Draft


It is finally here. This week is the annual Summer Breakdown Box Office Challenge, and Christopher and Scott each pick the 10 movies they think will give them victory. The winner this year gets to pick three movies that the loser will have to watch and review, I don't suspect the choice to be the original Star Wars trilogy. As well, we review two Netflix originals this week in the Nicholas Hoult starring war drama, Sand Castle and the down-on-their-luck romantic drama, Tramps. As well we analyze the massive success of Disney's live-action remakes, and we introduce a new segment where we both reveal our Top 5 Favourite Fictional Cities. As always, if you enjoy the show then please spread the word to other movie lovers.

Remember you can now subscribe either to The Movie Breakdown feed (a subscription link is at the top right hand of this site) or on iTunes.
