Movie Review: JOE BELL Starring Mark Wahlberg, Gary Sinise
Mark Wahlberg’s typical summer film involves explosions and a ton of shootout scenes, Joe Bell is a welcome departure from that type of film. Joe Bell is the story of father who decides to wal across country to spread the message that bullying is not acceptable. He is doing this because his son, played by […]
Interview: Director Sean Anders Talks Inspiration For New Film, ‘Instant Family’

Movie Review: ‘Instant Family’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne, Isabela Moner
Based on the real-life experiences of director Sean Anders (Daddy’s Home, Horrible Bosses 2), Instant Family explores the world of adoption in a way we’ve never seen before. As to be expected, there are plenty of laughs with a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne – but there is also an overwhelming amount of heart. Pete […]
Film Review: ‘All the Money in the World’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer
All the Money in the World is directed by Ridley Scott and is adapted from the 1995 book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty. Aside from a little bit of dramatization, this is the mostly true story of the 1973 kidnapping of the grandson of the richest […]
Film Review: ‘Daddy’s Home 2’ Starring Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Jon Lithgow, Mel Gibson
2015’s “Daddy’s Home” was a quiet hit. The film took in $250 million, as Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell showed once again that they have great comedic chemistry together. The pair starred together in “The Other Guys,” another money maker. It was inevitable that a film that grossed $250 million wouldn’t garner a sequel, especially […]
Review: TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT – The Good, The Sad and the Rusty
The fifth installment in the Transformers franchise is more terrible than meets the eye. As I think back on the latest Michael Bay robot slug-fest, I can’t help to ponder who exactly these movies are catering to. Judging by the box office numbers, everyone sees them. But why can’t they be good? They have a […]
49: ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Starring Marky Mark
If you’ve enjoyed the episodes where we hated that week’s movie then boy are you in for a treat. This week it’s all about Transformers: Age of Extinction. Transformers is the Nickelback of film franchises. Critics hate ’em but they keep making money. Well… we are critics. So critique we shall. Or perhaps “criticize” is […]
Movie Review: ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction” Starring Marky Mark
Michael Bay is a bit of a conundrum. His films are consumed greedily by audiences, and near universally panned by critics. Even the critics who give his films a pass do so begrudgingly. Transformers: Age of Extinction could get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and it will still likely be one of the biggest releases of the […]
Movie Review: ‘Lone Survivor’ Starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Eric Bana
It may be the fact that many of my relatives have served in the armed forces (one of my great cousins was in the second wave at Normandy). It may be the fact that a lot of my friends currently are serving. It may just be that I’m jingoistic to a fault. Whatever the reason, […]
7: ‘2 Guns’ Starring Mark Wahlberg & Denzel Washington
This week on Reel Spoilers our heroes break out their passports, lock and load their hand guns, and head south of the border so we can spoil 2 Guns. Check out Blake’s review of 2 Guns. We’ve made it 7 episodes and they haven’t canceled us yet, so we must be doing something right. Denzel Washington isn’t […]
