14: ‘Prisoners’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano
This week on Reel Spoilers we take Prisoners… or take no Prisoners? Take on Prisoners? Hmmm… give me a second here. I’m trying to come up with some clever wordplay. But the movie is a gritty thriller about child abduction so all of our clever puns are pretty offensive. Even to us. And that’s saying […]
Movie Review: Beautiful Creatures Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert
When I first saw the preview for Beautiful Creatures, I was very intrigued. I have not read the young adult book that it is adapted from, so I automatically thought it looked like a Twilight type of film – since they do have some similarities. As I am a fan of the “Twilight” books, I […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Help
The Help is built around a lot of strong performances, but the film doesn’t bring anything new to the table, and does only a couple things really well beyond the acting. An adaptation of the best selling novel, most of you probably know the story. The film looks at life in Jackson, Mississippi in the […]

It’s Kind of a Funny Story
“It’s Kind of a Funny Story” is a dark comedy, with subtle humor that keeps things light-hearted throughout. Although tackling subject matter as serious as being committed into a mental ward can seem intimidating, the film is fun and introduces us to likable characters who keep things entertaining without exploiting the situation. Craig (Keir Gilchrist) […]
