Ten years and eighteen films later, Marvel and Disney is releasing their grand culmination of their efforts, bringing nearly all of their heroes together for one epic mash up the likes of which cinema has never been seen before. Avengers: Infinity War hits the ground running with an intensity that manages to put itself into […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The aw-shucks fish out of water that we find in the latest Amy Schumer vehicle, I Feel Pretty, is far from original. If you’ve seen anything from A Devil Wears Prada to Working Girl to The Secret of My Success, you’ll find yourself in very familiar territory. But there’s nothing wrong with that, […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Let’s face it: whenever we see a trailer featuring Dwayne Johnson in the midst of some over-the-top action film, we know that the charm will come from watching him chewing up the scenery. In recent years it has only become more of a truism — from Moana to Baywatch to Jumanji, it’s been […]

It’s been a few years since we last saw Uma Thurman on the big screen, and then today we received the first trailer for The Con Is On, courtesy of our friends over at Lionsgate. It’s been in production since 2015 and we’d almost forgotten about it (The Con Is On snuck in under our […]

Where Tinker was droll and predictable, Sparrow actually carries along the thread of an interesting story to keep the audience engaged.

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Game Night finally breaks Jason Bateman’s losing streak of horrible low-brow comedies. After such dumpster fires as Office Christmas Party, The Longest Week, Mansome, and Identity Thief, we finally get a fun comedy that doesn’t spend it’s entire length trying to come up with ever more tasteless jokes.  The jokes read like the […]
