As the summer winds down, so does the glitz, glamour and ridiculous budget-hungry films. We’re in that stretch of simple practical movies built on plot and performance. Director Marc Webb gives us his second offering of the year (Gifted (2017) was released in April) that is completely devoid of mind numbing special effects. Unlike his …
Time for a Reel PATTI CAKE$ review
Talk about not knowing what to expect with latest release from Fox Searchlight Pictures release which is just now expanding to theaters nationwide. If you’ve seen the trailer for this very under-hyped drama, you probably were influenced in either a positive or negative way as far as wanting to see this movie. I the next …
Time for a Reel GOOD TIME review
One of the hardest things to overcome as an actor is being typecast, even when whatever has been attached to your name may possibly be the biggest success of someone’s career. This can be even more frustrating for younger actors. Why? Because as proud artists, these individuals want to keep redefining themselves while trying to …

Time for a Reel WHOSE STREETS? review
Unfortunately certain history just seems to keep repeating itself time after time after time. No matter what group stands tall to denounce crimes based on hate, the problem never completely goes away. As far as America has come over the last 5+ decades, there’s clearly a long way to go. And just when you may …
Time for a Reel WIND RIVER review
Taylor Sheridan has quickly made quite the name for himself over the last three years, specifically in the area of gritty dramas. Wind River is only his third credit in the writing chair. The other two were Sicario (2015) and Hell or High Water (2016), both of which had viewers on the edges of their …
Time for a Reel LOGAN LUCKY review
Steven Soderbergh had one cheek firmly planted on the seat of retirement when the temptation of a “no frills” Ocean’s Eleven-esque type script made its way into his hands. Rather than riding off into a comfortable and successful end to his directing career, Soderbergh had that familiar urge to take a lap around the action …
Time for a Reel THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD review
We’re well into the dog days of summer and where August releases are concerned, this usually isn’t a good place to be.
