[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Doctor Strange is Marvel’s latest entry into the pantheon of their wider Cinematic Universe which includes all of the films other than the X-Men and Fantastic Four (both franchises are both held in a death grip by Fox) and until his appearance in Captian America: Civil War, Spiderman (which is only loosely being […]

As the Marvel Movie machine chugs ever forward to the Infinity War, we get a small rest stop with Doctor Strange.  Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, The Imitation Game) dons the wizard white at his temples and goatee most notable for the spell slinger in this film from director Scott Derrickson. Don’t go into this film expecting the […]

Do you guys remember when Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code was all the rage?  Yeah, apparently neither does Sony Studios. Director Ron Howard decided to (hopefully) finish out the Professor Robert Langdon trilogy with Inferno, another story centering around symbols and mysteries needing to be solved before a great calamity befalls the world. Don’t get […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] One thing we rarely expect to find when dealing with sequels and prequels to below-average horror films is that they’re an improvement over the original. Generally the best that can be hoped for is that it’s at least on par with whatever came before. Ouija: Origin of Evil is one of those rare […]

Just when we think we don’t need more movies based on boardgames, Ouija: The Origin of Evil scares it’s way into theaters.  If you’ll recall, we’ve already had a film in this franchise, back in 2014.  Sure, it maybe wasn’t a genre redefining turn, but it wasn’t too bad. Someone thought that meant we should TOTALLY […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] While we’ve never been sold on Ben Affleck’s performance as Batman, his latest performance as Christian Wolff in The Accountant is a wonderful case of casting. One doesn’t typically think of pen-pushing accountants as being the most effective (or exciting) of roles for a top crime world agent, but the script by Bill Dubuque […]

The Accountant may be the Batman film we’ve been waiting for.  I say this because the film has everything you could want in a modern telling of a superhero, and the fight sequences are really good. This is coming from someone who DIDN’T (and really STILL) doesn’t care for the Batfleck. Director Gavin O’Connor (Miracle, […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] At this point Canadian director Denis Villeneuve seems to be just showing off. Nearly every one of his feature films have garnered some level of award season consideration, including three academy award nominations on his last round out with Sicario. Now with his latest film, Arrival, it feels that the bar is already suitably […]

Editor’s Note: this piece comes to us from guest writer Scott Muchow, who has written a few of these Disneyland previews up for us including Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and now Doctor Strange. We ADORE him, and not just for these special sneak peek reviews.  Thanks so much Scott! So, tonight we had the […]

Birth Of A Nation is not the film you think it is.  Don’t confuse this with the 1915 KKK propaganda piece of the same name,  directed by D.W. Griffith (son of a confederate soldier).  Griffith based his film on “The Clansman,” a book by Thomas Dixon. Yes, writer/director/actor of 2016’s film Nate Parker made the […]
