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...

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...

An 80,000,000 budget, a conservative opening weekend, it took some time but the build up to this great film, with the help of the wonderful cast managed to put smiles on audiences faces. The film wasn't difficult to understand, it was something bigger than it really was. The film wasn't just about people, it was the backgr...

Opening Credits: Two weeks ago the film Wonder Woman came out, and the reason the Reeltime wasn't there is because of a surgery i went through. I had a vasectomy done on June 2. I know. To much information. I was thankful i went through the whole ordeal. It's done and over with, now i could jump back on the t...

Opening Sequence: Growing up as a kid watching monster movies, like Godzilla, Mothra, and King Kong. The Japanese Godzilla had a fist to cuffs moment with King Kong VS Godzilla (1962). The film was absolutely fantastic; At least to me it was. Watching old movies, and especially the Godzilla monster battle royal. These movies were all good, yes they're all cheesy, but at least these films had what we want as monster nuts, and that is monster galore. The evolution of these particular movies did roll in the right direction; It was after King Kong Lives (1986) the film received bad r...
