Opening Credits: Alien: Covenant was a film i really tried to shy away from. But under certain circumstances, one has to make changes, so i decided to review the film. Now for those of you who are extreme Aliens fans like myself, i will give this review a shot at 100 percent honesty. I have a lot to say so my usual introduction to the film will not happen this time around. We all know the othe...

Fist Fight

Director:  Richie Keen Writers: Van Robichaux, Evan Susser, and Max Greenfield. Cast: Ice Cube (Strickland), Charlie Day (Andy Campbell), Tracy Morgan (Coach Crawford), Christina Hendricks (Ms. Monet), Jillian Bell (Holly), Dean Norris (Principal Tyler), Kumail Nanjiani (Mehar), Dennis Haysbert (Superintendent Johnson), JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Maggie), Alexa Nisenson (Ally), and Stephnie Weir as Suzie. Opening Credits: What is a comedy? Does anybody know. Because lately the mainstream world of film has been making garbage. Comedy to me is pure and simple; Entertainment with the mixed use of satirical sketches which should make you laugh. That is the point isn't it. Making you laugh. At what point does a film take you into the story, and more often than most the film doesn't make you laugh. Go to the manager of the theater and ask for your money back, right? Nope that's not the way it works. The film sometimes has some, but very little comedic content, which...

Opening Credits: The new Spider-Man film is out, and yes i could've reviewed the film. Not saying I'm not going to review the new movie. But with that said John Wick: Chapter 2 drew me in. The continued story of a gun for hire; A man with a definite grudge. The close up fire-fights, to mere grappling techniques. Summer is here, and like the season it comes with a ton of new and exciting films, so alas no worries the web-slinger will have his day here on the www.reeltimemoviereview.com Unfortunately the summer brought us so many bad movies, i guess that's the business. The fact th...

Life (2017)

Image
Director:  Daniel Espinosa Writers:  Rhett Reese, and Paul Wernick Cast:  Jake Gyllenhaal (David Jordan), Rebecca Ferguson (Miranda North), Ryan Reynolds (Rory Adams), Hiroyuki Sanada (Sho Murakami), Olga Dihovichnaya (Ekaterina Golovkina), and Ariyon Bakare as Hugh Derry. Opening Sequence: The world of Sci-Fi, Horror is established in this new film, Life. The film did receive some mediocre reviews. With that being said, films like these are a dime a dozen. Life, Aliens, Alien all Sci-Fi films that entertain, and manage to bring out the little person in you. That side is the imagination, everything changes, your perspective feels a bit different. Why the change? Transformers could've been my new review, but my fore-sight on that movie wasn't very positive. Lately i've been disappointed in Hollywood's line of films. The fact that these rehashed films are coming out, and bombing at the box office; You'd think the studios would learn from their mistak...
