[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Sequels are usually a dodgy prospect in the best of circumstances; with T2 Trainspotting coming along more than two decades after 1996 original which had become an immediate cultural touchstone of the time, only puts it that much more of a disadvantage. In this case we have something remarkable, not only one of the […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The history of cinema is filled with stories about elderly cynical individuals (who are often portrayed as a few fries short of a Happy Meal) who no longer really fit into the world, but eventually find something to connect with that gives them a new lease on life or at least makes them […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Life has suffered from the outset by yet another case of the trailers giving away effectively the entirely plot of the film. Any follower of the alien/sci-fi genre of movies can write down everything that they will is going to happen, and will probably wind up being more than 90% right. Even without […]

Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer for their upcoming dark comedy, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Written and directed by Martin McDonagh, the film is about a mother Mildred Hayes, played by Fargo’s Frances McDormand, who’s daughter was raped and murdered. When her small-town police force fails to make any headway, she takes out […]

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World writer and director is back with a new action crime (and musical) film, Baby Driver. It stars Ansel Elgort who plays “Baby,” a getaway driver who works for mob boss, Doc, played by Kevin Spacey. The soundtrack of his success skips a beat when he meets the girl of his dreams, […]

Yesterday DC released a few 15 second teasers ahead of today’s trailer release. The teasers gave hints at some of Wonder Woman’s super powers (beyond her fighting ability), and now we’ve got the full version of the third trailer trailer for the Patty Jenkins-helmed entry into the DC Extended Universe. With Gal Gadot starring as Wonder Woman, […]

[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 […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Well shoot, there goes my streak of being able to lambast 20th Century Fox and Hugh Jackman with impunity over his seventeen year run of near-exclusively terrible films. Logan is [almost] good enough to allow you to put everything that came before it out of your head. In comparing it to other best-in-class genre […]

It’s now under a month before Hollywood’s live-action adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s anime classic, Ghost in the Shell, hits theaters on March 21st and the film’s twitter account is teasing out the characters with a series of video cards of the main characters. The main story follows a cyborg named The Major (played by Scarlett […]

[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 […]
