29: ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ Starring Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Kenneth Branagh
This week on the show it’s Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Tom Clancy’s marquee character returns to the big screen and puts the “meh” in “meh-diocre”. What is there to say about a movie whose villain’s “iconic” moment involves threatening someone with a light bulb? As it turns out…not much. So join us for a meandering […]
25: ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch
After a week off Reel Spoilers is back and more spoilery than ever. This week it’s all about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Here’s a little Tolkien trivia for you. Did you know that Wikipedia describes Smaug as a “fictional dragon”? This can only mean that dragons are real! Holy shit! It must be […]
12: ‘Riddick’ Starring Vin Diesel, Katee Sackhoff and 5 Minutes of Karl Urban
Vin Diesel willed a new Riddick movie into existence and we tackle it this week on Reel Spoilers. It’s one of the odder cinematic experiences of the year…and that’s not a compliment. Also, it’s story time once again as Tom tells/bores us with what Monday Night Football, a cartoon rabbit, and Riddick have in common. […]
30 Movies Featuring the Workplace, In Honor of Labor Day Weekend
This week is pretty light on new releases. So instead of basing a list around another film that’s open (as is are usual ritual) we are instead building a list for the holiday – Labor Day. And, as it turns out, we cast a pretty wide net. As Tom & Dan (not be confused with […]
9: ‘Kick-Ass 2,’ ‘The Butler’ and ‘jOBs’
This week on Reel Spoilers we’re still short two cast members but that doesn’t stop us from treating Kick Ass 2 like month old milk. Also, Kevin gives us his take on Jobs (or is it jOBs?) and Tom gets all “Glenn Beck” and asks the question, “Are White critics afraid to not like The […]
8: ‘Elysium’ Starring Matt Damon, Sharlto Copley
This week on Reel Spoilers we bust out our flux capacitors and travel forward in time to 2154 for Neill Blomkamp’s latest work, Elysium. Blake and Dan were gone this week, so we brought in intrepid Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa Steve to discuss the film. He does such a fine job, you won’t even notice […]
6 Movies Featuring Motorhomes, In Honor of ‘We’re The Millers’
This week We’re the Millers hits theaters. Jason Sudeikis plays a smalltime pot dealer forced to smuggle a large amount of marijuana across the Mexican border. In an effort to evade the law he assembles a fake family consisting of a stripper (Jennifer Aniston), a teenage runaway (Emma Roberts) and a nerd who lives in […]
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 […]
1: ‘Man of Steel’ Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon
Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated Man of Steel opened to large box office returns a couple of weekends ago, but critics were split down the middle. Although audiences seem to be enjoying the reboot, which once again aims to jump start the Superman franchise, it currently sits at 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. In the inaugural episode […]
Movie Review: ‘After Earth’ Starring Will and Jaden Smith, Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Will Smith returns with his latest sci-fi, ummm…“epic” After Earth, set 1,000 years after humans have abandoned the planet for the safer of confines of Nova Prime. Smith plays a space ranger (but not the Buzz Lightyear kind) whose ship crash lands on the now-forbidden planet. He and his son (played by his real life […]
