[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 […]

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 […]

But for all that we know about the spill and it’s aftermath, the details around what happened leading up to the explosion and […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] With the continued popularity of the Walking Dead, there’s been no lack of zombie films and television shows over the last few years. Unfortunately they’re typically incredibly lackluster, with most just running variations of a handful of well-worn story themes. Sometimes there’s just ones that are exceptionally exciting like Train to Busan, but […]

Deepwater Horizon is one of those films you don’t want to see necessarily. But rather you need to see to understand the events of that day.

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Don’t Breathe turns one thing that’s common in the horror genre on it’s head: most often films will start with a solid concept, but then they break down by the third act into a typical cat and mouse game and too often with leaps of logic to tie the ends together. Breathe decides […]

How excited were we when STARZ announced their Ash Vs The Evil Dead mini series? Answer: pretty damn excited, especially when the original creator/director Sam Raimi and Ash himself Bruce Campbell were on board. What can you really say about a low budget horror comedy that launched a thousand super 8 projects and inspired a […]
