Time for a Reel BEATRIZ AT DINNER review

Beatriz at Dinner

You just never know what someone might be going through on any given day. Always keep that in mind before hastefully passing judgement on that person. We’re all one moment away from doing something great, just like we’re all one moment away from completely losing it and doing something unimaginable. Beatriz at Dinner is a …

Time for a Reel TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT review

Transformers: The Last Knight

Michael Bay’s “robots in disguise” franchise has been a financial force to be reckoned with since the theatrical live action (yeah, heavy CGI counts as live action) debut of Transformers (2007). Since that time, three sequels followed with each making Paramount Pictures truckloads of money. The interesting dynamic is that it didn’t take US audiences …

Time for a Reel ALL EYEZ ON ME review

All Eyez on Me review

In the 1990s the rap game had become mainstream and with its growing success, the financial implications were massive. Mo money, mo problems. Tupac Shakur was right in the middle of everything and his story is one worth knowing, telling and reliving. All Eyez on Me follows the life of this amazing artist from the …

Time for a Reel 47 METERS DOWN review

47 Meters Down review

Shark movies AGAIN? Haven’t we beaten this dead horse enough? Considering how many movies have been made based on shark attacks, there aren’t a heck of a lot of successful movies that come to mind outside of Jaws (1975). The bar is pretty high when it comes to movies about the most feared creature below …

Time for a Reel THE BOOK OF HENRY review

The Book of Henry review

Sometimes you can watch a trailer or read a synopsis and know exactly where a movie is going to end up. In case of The Book of Henry, pretty much everyone will have an inkling where this last chapter will end up. Even so, it won’t make the story unfolding right before your eyes any …

Time for a Reel THE MUMMY review

The Mummy review

Universal first unwrapped The Mummy franchise back in 1932 with Boris Karloff playing the title role. There have been a couple of series reboots since then with the Brendan Fraser-led version being the most recent starting in 1999. Now Universal is ready to move forward again with another reboot but they’ve also decided to go …

Time for a Reel IT COMES AT NIGHT review

It Comes at Night review

When it comes to horror movies, expectations can mean everything. I suppose that can be said with any genre but it feels like the weight is heavier when it comes to these types of films. As it stands, a good horror movie is hard to come by. Expect too much and you’re often left feeling …

Time for a Reel WONDER WOMAN review

Wonder Woman review

It’s 2017 and DC Comics is STILL struggling to find its cinematic universe identity. The “guys across the street” operate like a well-oiled machine while Warner Bros. has been playing a futile game of catch-up. Director Patty Jenkins has been given the keys to the castle and an opportunity to a superhero cinematic splash. Wonder …

Time for a Reel BAYWATCH review

Baywatch review

If you were lucky enough (I suppose) to have watched any of the Baywatch television show during its 11 season run, then you know that it never took itself too seriously. The new comedy reboot, simply called Baywatch, takes the silliness to new depths. Just know going in that comedy comes first and foremost here. …
