Time for a Reel NIGHT SCHOOL review

Kevin Hart has been a money printing machine in the eyes of studios with his massive consistent box office hauls movie after movie. Recently, Tiffany Haddish has had modest success and an ever-growing fan base with her over-the-top comedic performances.

Coming off of huge box office successes such as Bridesmaids (2011), The Heat (2013), Spy (2015) and I’ll even throw in Ghostbusters (2016), director Paul Feig can seem to do no wrong.

Time for a Reel ARIZONA review

Time for a Reel THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME review

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) is a classic James Bond film starring Roger Moore in the iconic lead role.

English author A. A. Milne had moderate success as a novelist but gained the highest level of notoriety in 1926 when he first published Winnie-the-Pooh. The rest, folks, is history.
