Time for a Reel SEARCHING review
Have you ever had your life turned upside down in an instant, only to realize that you haven’t reached the worst part yet?

Time for a Reel OPERATION FINALE review
Throughout the history of time where man has walked the earth, there have been plenty of unspeakable acts committed against one another that defies rational explanation.

Time for a Reel ARIZONA review
Expectations can be everything, so going into Arizona blind was an advantage that I had. If you’re reading this review, you won’t have the same luxury. First-time director, Jonathan Watson, easily exceeds reasonable expectations. Whenever Danny McBride is involved, audiences can never know for sure in which direction his works will take you. This title …

Their collaborations, Lone Survivor (2013), Deepwater Horizon (2016) and Patriots Day (2017), have collectively earned over 320 million dollars worldwide.

Time for a Reel ALPHA review
We’ve always been told that dogs are man’s best friend. Where did that saying come from? Genetic lineage has already proven that today’s domesticated dogs are distant relatives of wolves. A new family adventure drama puts forth a story that will show where this legendary bond started. Alpha is that story. Young Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee) …
