Film Review: ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ Starring Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Isabela Moner
“Those people are sheep. Treat ‘em like it.” It’s a brash, powerful statement, perhaps even more so coming from the lips of a Mexican citizen, encouraging his younger cousin to lead a group of people across the border. For many, trying to get across the border is perceived to be their best opportunity to make […]
Film Review: ‘Deadpool 2’ Starring Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz
Heeee’s baaaack! The red-spandex wearing merc-with-a-mouth, Deadpool, has come back for a second outing in Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds reprises the titular role that he was all but destined to play with the foul-mouthed but still lovable vigilante, Wade Wilson. This is Reynolds’ third time portraying the character, though we try hard to forget about […]
Film Review: ‘Only the Brave’ Starring Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Jeff Bridges
Maybe it’s because they don’t fight a physical enemy, but for some reason, movies about firefighters tend to be pretty scarce. Sure, there was Ladder 49, the old classic The Towering Inferno, and of course, Backdraft, perhaps the most highly-regarded firefighter movie of all-time. When they announced that a film was being produced based on […]
122: ‘Everest’ Starring Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal
We’re talking Everest this week but what do we know about mountains? So we brought in some experts. Brothers Mike & Steve Reardon have been to Everest. “Been to Everest” might be a bit of an understatement. They were making their way up the mountain when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal. And it doesn’t […]
121: ‘Everest’ Box Office Report (9/25 – 9/27)
This week the box office report is fast and furious (the regular kind not the driving kind). Joe talks about doughnut licking (thankfully that’s not a euphemism), we discuss the mechanics of late night talk shows, Pirates of the Caribbean and its rapidly declining quality and Joe’s hatred of Eli Roth.And if this episode feels […]
56: ‘Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ Starring Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt,
Are you hesitant to listen to an episode of Reel Spoilers until you see the film? Then this is the episode for you since we barely talk about this week’s film. And judging by the paltry box office chances are you didn’t see Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. And honestly there isn’t much […]
31: ‘Labor Day’ Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Peach Pie
This week Hollywood ushers in the month of February with Labor Day. We don’t get it either (other than the chick-flick counter-programing to Super Bowl Weekend). Written and directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) one would think they’d be in for a treat. One would be wrong. The results left all of […]
Movie Review: ‘Labor Day’ Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Gattlin Griffith
What would you get if you took a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, gave them a great director, decent budget and A-list actors? Survey says: Labor Day. So many questions run through your mind when you review a movie with all the right ingredients, but the result is a complete letdown. The first of which is: […]
Movie Review: ‘Gangster Squad’ Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn
Zombieland was one of my favorite movies from 2009. It was fresh, fun, and didn’t take itself too seriously. Director Ruben Fleischer wasn’t trying to be 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead, but rather created his own style – the result of which was a clever and extremely entertaining film. With his latest […]
‘Gangster Squad’ Opens January 11! Enter to Win Passes to the St. Louis Advance Screening!
Enter to win a pair of passes! Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and–if he has his way–every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of […]
