[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] London Has Fallen is a film that thinks a great deal of itself. It probably had a somewhat swelled sense of it’s self-importance after the moderate box-office success of it’s predecessor, Olympus Has Fallen. It’s kind of like someone who got first in a small town track and field event and thought they […]

(Editor’s Note: This review comes to us from Aggressor Jason Sparta, the man behind our Creature Feature reviews.) Hello, folks, Mister Sparta here.  I may be the man behind the Creature Feature reviews, taking great joy in watching horror movies and breaking them down for you, the reader. But, this time, in lieu of my […]

Just in time for the Easter season, a new cinematic tale of family, faith, and witches.  What, you thought I was going to be talking about Risen?  The film in which Voldemort’s brother Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) and Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) go hunting for another Chosen One?  Because there are lots of theaters apparently promoting Risen and The VVitch […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] No, the title of the article isn’t a hook, it’s actually the premise of Risen, and the weirdest thing? It’s not all that weird and it actually rather works. Directed and co-written by Kevin Reynolds (the same fellow that directed Tristan + Isolde and Count of Monte Cristo).  There’s plenty of films inspired […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Witch (or the VVitch as it’s labeled on the movie posters, in an homage to early 17th century printers who would use two Vs next to each other rather than a capital W), is a stark, haunting period piece set in 1630’s New England. For this to be a debut feature film […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] It’s been far too long since Fox put out a Marvel-based character property that wasn’t painful to watch. It was 2011’s X-Men: First Class that was the breath of fresh air (and hope) on to the mutant family of films, but now the long holding of breath for the next non-stinker is finally […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] When Zoolander first hit the big screen back in 2001, it was a genuinely funny film. It wasn’t trying too hard, it was somewhat fresh with a satirical send-of of the fashion industry and specifically at the stereotypical perception that male high-fashion models are dumb as bricks. Cut forward 15 years and we’re […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Coen Brothers are at it again – what more really needs to be said? Their latest film, Hail, Caesar! is a love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood. For those not hip on their history of tinsel town, the Golden Age spanned the years from the start of the sound era […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Hollywood is frequently criticized about it’s never-ending recycling of novels and films without adding a drop of anything approaching inspired creativity. It’s the same story time after time, with only new faces speaking the same lines; Jane Austin’s classic 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice has been adapted for the screen no less than […]

I need to start by complaining, and I’m sorry in advance.  It seems to be an ongoing complaint that when I go to a screening (or even a regular showing), but the amount of entitled assholes (both sexes) who go to movies to talk at full volume and laugh during the ‘high tension’ moments is […]
