The Walking Dead continues to play at the emotions of the show’s legions of devoted fans with tonight’s season finale. As with most of their season and mid-season finales, last night’s episode teases deaths, new character reveals and major plot twists. Carol continues her self-imposed exile to try to keep from having to kill more […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Warner Bros. is doing all it can to try to outdo Fox when it comes to how fast it can run their primary superhero property down the drain. Where it should be geek fans having the eternal debates of who would win in a fight between superheroes, instead it’s a conversation of which […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s start this off by saying that no small part of the fun of viewing Midnight Special will come from going into the theater knowing as little as possible about it. Leave it to say that it’s an entertaining road adventure with a young boy named Alton Meyer (played by Jaeden Liberher) who […]

Let’s get this out of the way at the outset – 10 Cloverfield Lane is really good, bordering on great. The final act doesn’t hold up to the level of the rest, but in a unique way, it doesn’t really detract from the effectiveness of the story’s main arc. When Cloverfield first came out back […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] London Has Fallen is a film that thinks a great deal of itself. It probably had a somewhat swelled sense of it’s self-importance after the moderate box-office success of it’s predecessor, Olympus Has Fallen. It’s kind of like someone who got first in a small town track and field event and thought they […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] No, the title of the article isn’t a hook, it’s actually the premise of Risen, and the weirdest thing? It’s not all that weird and it actually rather works. Directed and co-written by Kevin Reynolds (the same fellow that directed Tristan + Isolde and Count of Monte Cristo).  There’s plenty of films inspired […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Witch (or the VVitch as it’s labeled on the movie posters, in an homage to early 17th century printers who would use two Vs next to each other rather than a capital W), is a stark, haunting period piece set in 1630’s New England. For this to be a debut feature film […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It’s been far too long since Fox put out a Marvel-based character property that wasn’t painful to watch. It was 2011’s X-Men: First Class that was the breath of fresh air (and hope) on to the mutant family of films, but now the long holding of breath for the next non-stinker is finally […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] When Zoolander first hit the big screen back in 2001, it was a genuinely funny film. It wasn’t trying too hard, it was somewhat fresh with a satirical send-of of the fashion industry and specifically at the stereotypical perception that male high-fashion models are dumb as bricks. Cut forward 15 years and we’re […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Coen Brothers are at it again – what more really needs to be said? Their latest film, Hail, Caesar! is a love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood. For those not hip on their history of tinsel town, the Golden Age spanned the years from the start of the sound era […]
