Movie Review: ‘Nope,’ starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer

Posted: July 20, 2022 at 10:56 pm   /   Film, Movie Reviews

Director Jordan Peele is three-for-three.  His latest horror venture, “Nope,” is a slight departure from his previous two films, “Us,” and “Get Out.”  Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya stars along with Keke Palmer as siblings who own and operate Hollywood’s only Black-owned horse ranch.  Both are perfect in their roles. While Kaluuya is softer spoken […]

Posted: September 19, 2020 at 11:38 am   /   Movie Reviews

With the success of wildly popular films like Get Out and Us, it seems that the increase in sociopolitical horror-thrillers is on the rise. This has created a genre of films that exist within those categories, yet offer an interesting perspective on the social climate surrounding race, gender, class, etc. The latest film to step […]

Review: Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’ Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss

Posted: March 21, 2019 at 12:20 pm   /   Movie Reviews

In 2017, Jordan Peele surprised the hell out of the world with his first feature-length film (and one of my favorites of the year), GET OUT. Two years and one Oscar win later, audiences are clamoring for his next feature titled US which is marketed as “a new nightmare from Jordan Peele.” …and what a […]

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this uncomfortable leaving a movie. Make no mistake about it, Get Out (the directorial debut of comedian Jordan Peele) sets a new standard for modern horror films. While there are some funny moments, the laughs are scarce; this is a film that will be sure to leave audiences shocked and speechless Alison […]

180: ‘Keanu’ Starring Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Will Forte

Posted: May 6, 2016 at 1:08 pm   /   Film, Reel Spoilers

Joe is very excited about the show having reached the 180 mark. We have to gently inform him that 180 is not a milestone. We discuss sodas of yesteryear and at some point we also talk about Key & Peel’s feature length debut Keanu – which reminds Joe of Hot Fuzz and reminds Tom of […]

179: ‘Keanu’ Box Office Report (4/29 – 5/1)

Posted: May 5, 2016 at 2:17 pm   /   Film, Reel Spoilers

We finally make it through an episode without a WWE reference from Joe. Which can only mean one thing… Tom talked about The Monkees. Also, Zootopia is closing in on a billion dollars and Batman v Superman is somehow still in the top ten. Plus, Julia Roberts once killed a hobo and Gary Marshall has […]

Movie Review: ‘Keanu’ Starring Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key

Posted: April 28, 2016 at 6:59 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

After over a decade of killing it in TV sketch comedy, Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key are finally on the big screen together in their first feature film. In Keanu, the comedy duo delivers almost exactly what you’d expect from a bit on their brilliant Comedy Central show, Key and Peele. The movie picks up […]
