Mission: Impossible – Fallout continues a trend basically unheard of in cinema when it comes to film franchises – that of getting better film after film. Sure there are some sequels that are better than the originals, but to do so over six films in a row? [rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt […]

Unfriended: Dark Web, the latest thriller from Blumhouse Productions, is surprisingly fairly decent. It’s not because it’s a Blumhouse flick that I say that it’s surprising, because they’ve come up with a wide array of really solid films over the past 12 years, including Whiplash, Paranormal Activity, and The Purge. It’s because it’s a part of […]

When the official poster for Skyscraper hit, I knew I was going to have to see this film. An incredulous jump from a crane onto a burning building done by The Rock?  Sign. Me. Up. Of course, fan-made versions popped up everywhere, but they did not diminish the anticipation. It got even better when Dwayne The […]

Let’s be honest: whenever we see that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is starring in a film, we know that the movie isn’t likely to be mentioned much when award season comes around. However, audiences can generally bank on him chewing up the scenery and having a blast of a time doing it. When Johnson is having […]

It’s only taken 25 years for us to get another semi-decent dinosaur film out of the Jurassic Park franchise. Perhaps it’s like a baseball player who after enough at-bats will eventually hit something even if largely by accident. It could of course be that after the original two sequels (which were both horrible) and the […]

When audiences go to see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, they sort of know what they’re getting into.  They expect dinosaurs, and from the literally dozens of trailers, teasers, and featurettes out there- a freaking volcano. Audiences will know there will be something about genetics, something with a human being greedy, and of course, people getting eaten. […]

It’s been a full decade and a half since Pixar first brought The Incredibles to the screen. To try to help set the context for how different the world was then — there was no Marvel Cinematic Universe, and DC’s only entry in nearly the decade since Batman & Robin was Catwoman. Hellboy had just […]

When the cast was announced for Hotel Artemis, it was sure to be brilliant: Jodie Foster, Sterling Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Dave Bautista, Charlie Day, and Zachary Quinto. Those actors by themselves are a who’s-who list of solid action performances and each also known to be able to push some solid intensity. Then came […]

If we’re going to be completely honest, the question of “is Deadpool 2 as good as the first one was” is an unfair comparison. When Ryan Reynolds first took to the screen back in early 2016, it was expected to be fun and irreverent and fourth-wall-breaking, but what we got was such a fresh take […]

This is a really hard review to write spoiler free.  There are SO MANY deep cut Star Wars things in Solo: A Star Wars Story, I was shocked.  If you were a fan of the EU (Expanded Universe), you will be incredibly surprised and more than likely delighted. When I say this will be spoiler free, I’m […]
