[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] After watching the first episode of Syfy’s new reality competition series, Cosplay Melee, cosplayers can finally breathe a sigh of relief – it’s actually really good. Produced by the same team that has brought us eleven seasons of Face Off, each episode is stand-alone (meaning that in each episode four cosplayers compete for […]

20 years between films might seem long, but director Danny Boyle knew what he was about with T2 Trainspotting.  Do you remember in the late 90’s-early 2000’s there was a massive treasure trove of well done indie films?  This T2 (non terminator) really harkens back to that golden age of super special and important storytelling. The original […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Kong: Skull Island is a refreshingly new take on the story that gives us a re-imagining that is a fun action adventure mixed in with various cherry-picked elements of the original story. Three parts Apocalypse Now, two parts classic King Kong, and one part Lost, it might be many things, but a rehash […]

Spoiler- Kong: Skull Island perfectly sets up a Kong vs Godzilla showdown to take place in the future.  Just putting that out there right away. In an age where Hollywood is constantly revisiting classic IP (intellectual properties) in an attempt to recapture the movie magic and spectacle, it comes as little wonder that King Kong got […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Simply put, Get Out, the new film from writer/director Jordan Peele is very likely going to wind up being the best horror film of 2017. I realize it’s only February, and there’s a lot of other big-hitters coming out this year, but I think we’ll hit December 31st and be able to look back and find […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Horror films these days generally too often fall into one of two categories – zombies or found footage. And woe to those who combine the two, since they’re almost always dumpster fires from the get-go. It’s when a sleeper film like The Girl With All The Gifts can drop out of nowhere and restore […]

The twitter account for the upcoming King Arthur film has teased out a new 30 second clip ahead of a new full trailer schedule to release tomorrow on President’s Day. We’ve had two trailers thus far – one from back at SDCC last year, then one that’d dropped just shy of a month ago. From […]

A Cure For Wellness on the surface has everything an audience could want in a highly stylized supernatural thriller. Much like how “Dracula” begins with young Jonathan Harker being sent off to the mountains to retrieve a co worker, young Lockhart (Dane DeHaan) is similarly sent by his financial firm from New York to the Swiss alps to […]

Fist Fight was NOT my cup of whisky laced tea.  The situational comedy left me wanting, something that seems to keep happening with modern comedies.  If you are a Charlie Day fan, you’ll probably be more inclined to like this movie. The story centers around teachers in a failing public high school. Charlie Day is English […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] As a horror fan, A Cure for Wellness is an interesting mix of plot elements from a wide range of genre films. It’s about three parts Shutter Island, two parts Phantom of the Opera, and one part each for The Strain and Frankenstein. Dane DeHaan (Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Harry Osborn) plays Lockhart, an ambitious […]
