This modern version of Suspiria is nothing like the original 1977 version directed and written by Dario Argento. The original takes a more direct approach into the horror genre whereas as 2018 will be giving hopeful fans a more artistic version. One of the main stars of the film, Tilda Swinton, refers to it as …

Time for a Reel HUNTER KILLER review
What kind of a name is Hunter Killer for a movie that doesn’t involve serial killers in some fashion? I’m sure that most of you are wondering the same thing. Well, as it turns out, “hunter-killer” in the naval world of things is a designation that is assigned to an attack vessel. In this case …
Time for a Reel THE OATH review
We’ve all had challenging times with friends and family during holidays, although it’s usually family that gets under our skin the most. I mean after all, you can choose your friends but family, not so much. Well it’s very doubtful that any of us have an experience that’s been as crazy as what one extended …
Time for a Reel HALLOWEEN review
I don’t know about you but the name Michael Myers has become synonymous with the season of Halloween. It all started back in 1978 when a virtually unknown young director from New York brought to the big screen a terrifying story of a derailed individual hellbent on killing. From there, director/writer John Carpenter, as one …
Time for a Reel BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE review
It’s hard to believe that Drew Goddard has only directed one movie prior to the newly released Bad Times at the El Royale. Considering the unexpected success that his directorial debut The Cabin in the Woods (2012) received, you’d think that opportunities would have had him behind the camera again much sooner than this. Whether …
Time for a Reel A SIMPLE FAVOR review
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. He has been a champion for female actors, allowing them to get the recognition they deserve by putting them in positions to thrive. …
Time for a Reel THE PREDATOR review
Technically speaking, The Predator is now the sixth movie in the franchise featuring the technologically advanced hunters from another planet. It all started with the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led Predator (1987) which is now more than 30 years old. Yikes! The sequel, Predator 2 (1990), followed before going dormant for more than a decade, presumably because fans …
Time for a Reel PEPPERMINT review
To most people, family means just about everything. We live our lives while taking so much for granted, not stopping often enough to appreciate all that we have. For one very unfortunate mother, everything that she holds near and dear to her is about to be ripped away in an instant. People are capable of …
Time for a Reel THE NUN review
What started off as a story about real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring (2013) became a smash-hit at the box office and a franchise was born. The Amityville Horror was their most famous case, yet it turned out that there was way more to their works than most of us knew. Warner …
Time for a Reel ARIZONA review
Expectations can be everything, so going into Arizona blind was an advantage that I had. If you’re reading this review, you won’t have the same luxury. First-time director, Jonathan Watson, easily exceeds reasonable expectations. Whenever Danny McBride is involved, audiences can never know for sure in which direction his works will take you. This title …
