Time for a Reel SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO review
The battles on both sides the U.S.-Mexico border have been brutal and unforgiving. The amount of casualties, mostly due to drug trafficking, have captured the imagination of filmmakers and showrunners everywhere. Acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve captured the essence of what goes on in this brutal landscape with 2015’s Sicario with both fans and critics coming …
Time for a Reel UNCLE DREW review
Lionsgate went hard with all of their video promoting of Uncle Drew over the past few months. There’s no doubt that the onslaught of comical clips raised a few eyebrows. I even fell into the trap of being intrigued and curious as to how a movie based on a seemingly silly premise would stand up …
Time for a Reel BLACK WATER review
Saban Film’s Black Water marks the fifth time that Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren have shared the screen for an action-packed outing. Wheeler (Van Damme) is a deep cover operative who has been double crossed and detained in a government run black ops submarine that doesn’t exist on paper. Someone has it out for …

Time for a Reel TAG review
You know those crazy stories you hear and think to yourself, “there’s no way that can be true”? In 2013 a Wall Street Journal article captured the attention of quite a few people. It was an unbelievable story of a group of friends that started playing tag with one another when they were just kids …
Time for a Reel SUPERFLY review
In 1972 the original Super Fly was released and did well in theaters. Two sequels were made but it also had its detractors with some seeing the blaxploitation film as a step backwards for the African-American Culture. Even though the character was beloved by many, it just kind of fell silently to the wayside. Several …
Time for a Reel HEREDITARY review
A24 has cultivated quite the reputation for doing more with less, especially when it comes to their horror movie lineup. Films such as The Witch (2016), It Comes at Night (2017) and A Ghost Story (2017) were all made with moderate budgets but each earned the praise of the majority of both critics and fans …
Time for a Reel OCEAN’S 8 review
The run was good for George Clooney, Brad Pitt and the rest of the gang over a six-year span as Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen held all of the cards under the direction of Steven Soderbergh. With the franchise running its full course over a decade ago, the creative con seemed to have been forgotten …
