Jason Bateman has seen a sustainable success rate throughout a television and movie career that has spanned four decades. Bateman’s youthful presence has been a constant throughout, although it’s been his sarcastic side that has been in the forefront in this last decade or so. It’s the rated R works such as Horrible Bosses (2011), …

Time for a Reel Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER review
Believe or not, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther is the eighteenth movie this massive ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the last ten years Marvel has totally changed the landscape and measuring stick for what is to be considered a successful franchise. Rather than resting on its laurels, Kevin Feige and company continue to push forward, raising …
Time for a Reel BILAL: A NEW BREED OF HERO review
Last year Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) was a pleasant surprise that seemingly came out of nowhere. By the time that awards season rolled around, the positive buzz could not be ignored. A story was told that was more mature in nature and the animation was stunning. Less than a year later, could we …
Time for a Reel MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE review
Wes Ball’s Maze Runner trilogy will finally reach the finish line this weekend. As many may already know, the production of this last chapter was halted due to a major on-set injury by its lead star, Dylan O’Brien. While momentum may have been slowed due to the extended break between The Scorch Trials (2015) and …
Time for a Reel DEN OF THIEVES review
A trend that’s becoming increasingly more popular comes in the form of longer runtimes. Sometimes they’re necessary while other times it’s just pointless blather. For a movie such as Den of Thieves to come in with such a hefty runtime (140 minutes), I immediately cringed. How long does a run of the mill cops and …
Time for a Reel 12 STRONG review
September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core by bringing war and unrest to its doorsteps. “Never here” we mistakenly thought. That day changed EVERYTHING. There are so many stories of various levels of heroism that have yet to be heard. One such story that hadn’t seen been given a large …
Time for a Reel THE COMMUTER review
Liam Neeson’s career, what can you say? One thing that you can say is that he often finds himself in danger. Thankfully he always has a particular set of skills to solve the problem at hand. Even though his life or death challenges are becoming increasingly unfathomable, Neeson seems beat the odds both on the …
Time for a Reel MAYHEM review
Joe Lynch is still in his adolescent formative years in terms of experience. Knights of Badassdom (2013) and Everly (2015) were the only feature length credits he has to his name thus far. And working from a position of inexperience, he has found a way to entertain audiences without making a huge splash in the …
Time for a Reel THOR: RAGNAROK review
Walt Disney Pictures, still in their embarrassment of riches phase, has pretty much figured out that whatever the studio churns out will make money. Thankfully, Kevin Feige and company have no desire to coast to the finish line. The clear winner here, at least so far, has been the countless fans of the franchise. Being …
Time for a Reel A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS review
Even though Halloween feels like it just happened…wait, it did just happen, focus has already shifted to the most wonderful time of the year. Poor Thanksgiving. There are probably more Christmas movies than all other holiday themed movies combined. Bad Moms (2016) was a major box office success when it was released last summer. A …
