Have you ever had your life turned upside down in an instant, only to realize that you haven’t reached the worst part yet?

Time for a Reel OPERATION FINALE review

Throughout the history of time where man has walked the earth, there have been plenty of unspeakable acts committed against one another that defies rational explanation.

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.

This title …

Time for a Reel THE MEG review

August is in full swing which means, in the movie world, this is the time to burn through some titles that weren’t quite hot enough to withstand the summer blockbuster heat. It’s not necessarily that these are bad movies, although some of them definitely will be, it’s more of a case where the smart business …

Not being one to beat around the …
