118: ‘The Visit’ Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

Posted: September 17, 2015 at 3:36 pm   /   Film, Reel Spoilers

M. Night Shyamalan gives us a low-budget, horror flick with his biggest twist in over a decade…it’s actually a good movie. Or, at least, it doesn’t outright suck. The Visit is weird. It’s quirky. But it (mostly) works. And we’ll explain why. All this plus Joe is imagines naked grandmas where there are none, we […]

We’ve made it 7 episodes and they haven’t canceled us yet, so we must be doing something right.  Denzel Washington isn’t […]

Movie Review: ‘RED 2’ Starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins

Posted: July 18, 2013 at 11:47 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

In 2010 the most unlikely of casts was assembled for the surprisingly entertaining action-comedy RED.  Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren were all labeled “Retired Extremely Dangerous,” and lived up to their designation in the film.  It was a winning formula, combining action with a well-known cast of aging not-so-action-heroes. But was it wise for them to come out […]

Posted: July 8, 2013 at 3:09 pm   /   Film, Local, Reel Spoilers

Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer team up once again with Johnny Depp for The Lone Ranger, in an attempt to capture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Unfortunately for the $215 million dollar summer blockbuster, lightning didn’t strike twice. The film opened over the five-day holiday weekend with an unimpressive $48.7 […]

How Did ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘That’s My Boy’ Do Against Last Week’s Top Films At The Box Office?

Posted: June 17, 2012 at 1:22 pm   /   Local, Movie News

This week’s two big releases had enough star power to propel them to the top of the box office, but did the word of mouth on previous weeks releases keep them from making money? Rock of Ages had the draw of Tom Cruise, “classic” 80’s music, and a built in audience from the stage show. […]

Posted: June 3, 2012 at 5:14 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

1.) Snow White and the Huntsman…..$56,255,00 2.) MIB 3……$29,300,000 3.) The Avengers…..$20,273,000 4.) Battleship…..$4,810,000 5.)

This Weekend’s Box Office Featuring SCREAM 4, RIO

Posted: April 17, 2011 at 6:28 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I have to admit that I did not predict this one correctly.  I would have bet almost anyone that the battle for the top spot between the family friendly RIO and the horror franchise SCREAM would have been much closer.  I might have even been favoring SCREAM 4 to take the top.  This certainly was […]
