Time for a Reel DUNKIRK review

Dunkirk review

Christopher Nolan has been quite the polarizing director over the last almost two decades. Since the turn of the millennia, Nolan has directed eight movies and each of those have gone on to be well received by both the critics and fans alike.

Time for a Reel THE JOURNEY review

The Journey review

Sometimes reaching an agreement is a result of hard work. Other times it’s because of an unrelenting drive to reach common.

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. …

Time for a Reel KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD review

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

No one can argue that Guy Richie has quite the unique way of telling a story. You can always tell his work if you’ve seen any of his past movies. The “guy” is never short on dialogue nor is he shy about making the unconventional conventional. Every time I think, “hmmmm he’s a peculiar chose …

Time for a Reel THE WALL review

The Wall review

Snipers are a special kind of soldier with undeniable skills that can only be harnessed by the best of the best. Whether it’s real life, movies or even video games, John Q. Public gravitates to these elite warriors. Targeting enemies from unfathomable distances while striking them down with robotic type precision is awe inspiring. But …
