Happy New Year Casta Fans! Here’s a special treat to end 2011 in style as we got together with a bunch of people on Christmas eve to talk about this season’s stupidest action movie; TOM CRUISE RUNNING! I mean, Mission impossible: Ghost protocol.

Please forgive the stupid phone buzzing (it’s probably Darren’s fault), it goes after a while and then THE PUNS ARRIVE! Good old puns!

Chris and Chris wish you all a very happy new Year – we’ll be back with new episodes very soon! Love!

Hold on to your hats for a festive treat as we’re joined by our very lovely ladies in the third Castalive!  We got together to celebrate a fine Sunday lunch and have a nice chinwag about movies where we review (in a roundabout way) Hugo, 50/50, Moneyball, My Week with Marilyn and The Rum Diaries and give Jonathan Taylor Thomas more media coverage than he’s received in the last ten years!

Oh and as a special Christmas treat here’s the Complaint letter we refer to. Deserved anti-ded!

Well it’s about bloody time! That’s right Casta fans, we’re back with the first proper full real both here episode for months! We promise to try and behave from now on and keep it up

We’ve got reviews of Tin Tin, We Need to Talk about Kevin, The Ides of March, Contagion and In Time as well as some waffle and not a lot else – apart from when it all cocked up in the dying seconds (minutes).

We’ll be back soon with more! Promise!

Episode 44c – Rosencast and Guildenstern are Dead

Do you love Gary Oldman? If so then you’ll love episode 44c of Casta La Vista as Chris goes off on a bit of a love fest for everybody’s favourite super versatile middle aged English acting gentleman. Inbetween the gushing there’s also reviews of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Change Up and Warrior and of course some TRAILER POWER!

Trailers in this episode’s Trailer Power are; The Rum Diary, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, We Need to Talk about Kevin, John Dies at the End and Paranormal Activity 3.

Hopefully Brother W will have finished his jaunt by the time the next episode rolls around so we should be back up to full Casta team power by then. Big thanks go out to Adam Cadwell again for kindly guest hosting a second time (and doing it much better this time around!).

Episode 44b – So I Married a Cast Murderer

So I Married a Cast Murderer (right click and “save as” for download)

Brother Wakeman is off on honeymoon but no fear! Casta La Vista is still here to sate your filmic hunger! What do we really know about Chris’ new bride? Not a lot actually… she could end up being a Cast Murderer! (booo!) . Given this potentially horrific course of events, we thought we’d treat you to a late summer horror special!

Casta La Vista is by no means a one man sho, so guest hosting this episode is the fancastic friend of the show Adam Cadwell; listen in as he bumbles his way through the regular Casta content as we (amongst other things) review Friends with Benefits, Apollo 18 and Kill List.

The trailers discussed in this episode’s Trailer Power (*insert lightning here*) were: 30 Minutes or Less, Melancholia, Dream House and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and as referenced in the dying seconds of the episode, I am Legend 2: Awakening.

We’ll be back for another Wakeman-less episode in a fortnight. Kisses!

Apologies for the delay Casta Fans but here’s your brand new episode, just a little later than usual. We’ve got reviews of Cowboys & Aliens, The Inbetweeners Movie and Conan the Barbarian (oh and Chris references my review of  The Guard) as well as the usual fun which will leave you chewing leather (question mark?exlamation mark!)

The trailers in this episode’s TRAILER POWER!!! (or as Chris wrote it; TrailerPower) are; Blackthorn, the Woman in Black, Abduction, Margaret, Puncture & The Father of Invention. Let us know your thoughts on these or any other trailers out right now.

Just as Chrazza Mazza has himself all set up with internets, Chrazza Wazza decides to go on a month long honeymoon! Never fear though friends as there’ll be some new content in the break between episodes proper with a very special appearance from a Casta La Vista favourite. Until then!

What’s this? A new episode? AND IT’S TWO DAYS LATE?!

Calm down Casta fans! We feel your pain! Having just moved house, Chrazza Mazza is struggling to find any internet (anyone got any spare?!) but nevertheless we continue to power through and bring you some new Casta amazetimes! We’ve got reviews of Super 8, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Mr Popper’s Penguins for you, as well as some new inbetween bits and Castamind’s replacement – let’s hope it’s good enough to live up to the high quality demands of Adam Castwell!

And for those of you keen to see the carnage for yourselves here are the trailers reviewed in the show: Glee 3D, Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked, Happy Feet 2, Spy Kids: All The Time In The World, Arthur Christmas.

Hopefully back on time for next episode but… no promises! Other than to BLOW YOUR MIND!
