The world has lost another of its gifted comedians today with the announcement of the passing of Verne Troyer at the age of 49. He had nearly 60 credits to his acting career spanning more than two decades, but he is most frequently remembered for his role as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers films alongside […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The aw-shucks fish out of water that we find in the latest Amy Schumer vehicle, I Feel Pretty, is far from original. If you’ve seen anything from A Devil Wears Prada to Working Girl to The Secret of My Success, you’ll find yourself in very familiar territory. But there’s nothing wrong with that, […]

During an extended series of tweets on Thursday evening, Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski expressed at length that the award winning science fiction series’ current television rights holder Warner Bros. has no intention of either doing anything with the license themselves, or of letting anyone else do anything with it. Won’t work. They literally told […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s face it: whenever we see a trailer featuring Dwayne Johnson in the midst of some over-the-top action film, we know that the charm will come from watching him chewing up the scenery. In recent years it has only become more of a truism — from Moana to Baywatch to Jumanji, it’s been […]

It’s been a few years since we last saw Uma Thurman on the big screen, and then today we received the first trailer for The Con Is On, courtesy of our friends over at Lionsgate. It’s been in production since 2015 and we’d almost forgotten about it (The Con Is On snuck in under our […]

Directed by Sean McNamara from a script penned by David Aaron Cohen (the fellow who created Friday Night Lights), it’s […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] With the vast wasteland of horrid comedies out there, I did not go into Blockers expecting much more than some frat-level humor, some piss jokes, and no real script to speak of beyond a checklist of contrived scenes. Well I have to admit to being more than pleasantly surprised by the thoughtfulness and […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] I’ve been looking forward to Ernie Cline’s novel, Ready Player One being turned into a film ever since first reading it a few months after it’s release in August of 2011. Then word finally emerged a few years ago that Stephen Spielberg had picked up the project and it added to the excitement. […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Whenever there’s a huge shift from one actor to another leading a familiar franchise there’s an awkward moment where we try to picture them following in the original’s shoes and wondering “can they pull it off”. When we heard that Alicia Vikander was going to be replacing Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the Tomb […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] A Wrinkle in Time is not at all a bad film, in fact it’s pretty darned solid. But to put the film into context, it has to be understood who the film’s audience actually is. These days it’s far too common for the term Young Adult to really just mean any film with […]
