[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Sausage Party is one film that I really didn’t expect to like. Actually even after the movie started, I thought how unbelievably crass are we going to get? Well, now I know; some things can just not be unseen. Written by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir, it seems that they […]

Seth Rogen’s R rated animated Sausage Party sure looked promising from the trailer.  Good solid voice talent who’ve worked together NUMEROUS times, albeit some misses in there. And there is no doubt in my mind there is a huge audience out there who will LOVE this film, it just wasn’t for me. Sausage Party is like Toy […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] We’ve all heard about the beleaguered path to the big screen for DC’s latest installment into their Extended Universe franchise of films, Suicide Squad. A rushed script development, multiple edits, Deadpool appeared on the scene causing Warner Bros to second guess their approach to Suicide Squad causing reshoots and another round of edits. […]

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad is probably the film I was most dreading reviewing this year.  Trailer after trailer, brilliantly cut with good songs I’ll totally admit,  were released ahead of the Warner Brothers movie. Which continues this modern thing of “let’s show ALL the good stuff in the trailer to get people to see the […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It would be a challenge to try to pick out which franchise was more of a copy/rinse/repeat approach to it’s storyline, Taken, or Jason Bourne. Right now it really does feel like Bourne has pulled ahead with this latest installment. After five films, you know exactly what the pattern is going to be: […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It was only a few years ago that the Zombie genre was utterly let down by the screen adaptation of World War Z. Since then we’ve largely limped along with random indies or in-joke films. Every time we get another brain-eating film coming out they have too often felt like a Walking Dead […]

How excited were we when The Killing Joke animated film was announced as a sure thing?  Add on to that the electric joy when Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Tara Strong were confirmed as the main voice talents as Batman, Joker, and Batgirl respectively. Toss in another extra few points due to the R rating of […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] In 2009, writer/director and general geek oracle J. J. Abrams performed a near miracle by rebooting the Star Trek franchise with level of success that few people – fans or detractors had suspected. Jumping forward four years Abrams’ Trek ran entirely off the rails with the trainwreck of a film with Into Darkness. Three years […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s get this right out of the way, the new Ghostbusters film has some fine leads. From the four ghostbusters themselves: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones to the 2016 version of the receptionist, this time played by Chris Hemsworth – they are all solid ensemble players. McKinnon has a solid […]

Ghostbusters is the probably the most talked about film of 2016.  Yes, I’d put it above Star Wars: Rogue One and Suicide Squad.  Paul Feig’s reboot of a comedy classic had all the possibilities of not sucking, despite the general outcry of “we don’t need another reboot” which I agree with. I will say this as many […]
