Time for a Reel THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB review
I’m only going to reference the full title to this movie one time for accuracy purposes and the pacification of some studio exec somewhere that thought an eleven word movie title would be somehow beneficial in a social media world of limited characters. The Girl in the Spider’s Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story explores …
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 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 SEARCHING review
Have you ever had your life turned upside down in an instant, only to realize that you haven’t reached the worst part yet? The premise of the new mystery thriller, Searching, is going to put its best foot forward to make audiences feel exactly what I’ve described. John Cho has become quite the well-rounded actor …
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 …
