Movie Review: ‘Ocean’s 8’ Starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna
I have to admit, as a fan of the previous three Ocean’s films (11 and 13, most notably), I didn’t have very high hopes for Ocean’s 8 when it was first announced. It wasn’t because I didn’t think an all-female ensemble could pull off a heist movie of Ocean’s 11 calibre (believe me, they mostly do), but more so the fact that it […]
16: ‘Gravity’ Starring Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
This week on Reel Spoilers we are set adrift on memory bliss in space. Well, we’re not but Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are. Ok, technically they’re not either. But the characters they play are, in fact, set adrift on memory bliss. Dammit! Why can’t I stop doing that? In space. They’re set adrift in […]
Movie Review: ‘Gravity’ Starring Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
As trite as it is to say – or to be told – Gravity is a movie that has to be seen on the big screen. The vastness of space is captured… or rather, recreated, in such a way, that all the upcharges (3D, IMAX, even the supercomfy lounge chairs) are entirely justified and only […]

Movie Review: ‘The Heat’ Starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy
R-rated comedies can be pretty hit or miss. For every classic, there are dozens more that drowned underneath lazy plot devices and vulgarity. R-rated comedy is a no holds barred affair that requires a deft hand to write the story, and a director who knows when enough is enough. From the trailers, The Heat looked […]
‘The Heat’ Opens June 28! Enter to Win Passes to the St. Louis Advance Screening!
Enter to win a pass for two! Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.’s “finest,” is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the […]
Movie Review: ‘Extremely Loud’ Is Pretty Quiet
I’ve had a hard time writing my review of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – or even beginning it. I worked on a draft, realized it was all wrong, started another draft, pitched that, repeated five more times. I kept feeling like something was missing, but from me, not from the movie. And then I […]

“Gravity” Finds a Co-Star for Sandra Bullock in George Clooney
Alfonso Cuarón is a very talented director to say the least. He directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which some consider as the best film in the franchise. He also directed Children of Men which is a personal favorite of mine. So it’s hard for me to believe that he has had a […]
