The Top five Worst films of 2015

Image
The Star Wars Force Awakens film was up longer, because i needed to take some time off, the Christmas holiday was just around the corner, which gave me two choices, anger my family, deal with the consequences of not spending time or take some time off and come back strong in 2016. The main reason for the top five worst films of 2015 is because, i always wanted to do one, and the concept of a mini list of movies.  Before Reeltime took life, i used to have a Podcast, with my friend Tim, couple years ago, we had created something special, a little podcast called "The Movie Bin," a fresh look at movies, we had a following a great beginning, but after sometime, we both went our separate ways, not because of the podcast, but because of limited time, we really had no time, and by the time we published, we were at it again, it sucked to much out of us, so we decided to end things.  Afterwards i went on my own, the drive to write reviews, and a second chance to do what i love, and

Remember the days when you find the time to sit in on your recliner, or whatever comfortable zone that pleases you.  Pop open a cold drink, slide the DVD of that old James Bond film.  Sean Connery's smile in the 1962 Dr. No. Clearly your senses go overload, after all it is a Bond film; And the older films are my

Perry Cast: Ryan Reynolds (Jerry/Mr.Whiskers), Gemma Arterton (Fiona), Anna Kendrick (Lisa), Jacki Weaver (Dr. Warren), Ella Smith (Alison), and Paul Chahidi as Dennis Kowalski. Hope your Thanksgiving was good, staying with family is a wonderful thing especially when your the one invited, not the cook.  Anyway, we head right to December month, was going to review a Christmas film each week but, that would be a bit boring, at least for me it would. Plus, Star Wars is just two weeks away, and that's a target film i would like on my site.  The first week of December has been busy for me, to say the least.  My kid had two concerts, one was a full School band thing, all the Middle School kids were up on stage playing their favorite instrument.  My daughter plays the Clarinet, she's really good at it, so proud of her.  The week continued with the next concert, choir.  Yes my kid sings as well, her voice is trul

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on this planet, i know it's a bit much, but i don't care, love this time a year.  The fact that families get together and feast is a wonderful thing.  I always wanted to do a Thanksgiving special, and on that note the reason why i picked Strange Magic an animated film, because in my opinion it's perfect. Marianne the lead character felt empowered by the fact that she found out her significant other cheated on her, but that's not the main reason wh

Director: Nick Powell Writer: James Dormer Cast: Nicolas Cage (Gallain), Fernando Chien (Captain Wu), Hayden Christensen (Jacob), Anoja Dias Bolt (Anika), Byron Lawson (Captain Peng), Shie Liang (King), Andy On (Shing), Yifei Liu (Lian), and  Elderly  Daxing Zhang.   This review has been a real problem for me, not because i didn't like it, but all week getting off at a reasonable time, picking up my daughter after work, and getting into a fender bender that really made me a bit mad, not at the guy who hit my truck, but because it was getting late, i was on my way to pick up my kid at work, and the accident occurred.  Things happen, and usually i get ahead in writing, but this time around, not being ahead is kind of aggravating.  So i hope you guys love this review, i still and will always love to review movies, despite my week of hell. The film opens up some issues, historical issues, here they are; The crusades were a part of the story so why not expand on it. Im

There is a list of films i could've used for action, but this time around i wanted a recent one, and a  well known action star,  Jason Statham is that guy, he did movies like Homefront, Redemption, Safe, Parker, and Blitz to name some.  This star is established as a huge action star, packed with a lot of kicks, punches, fists a cuffs.  Wild Card is just one of those films, and with Simon West at the helm, it was a combination of both action and story.  Hope you guys enjoy the review, here we go, Wild Card. The scenes were shot up clos
