RICK'S REEL REVIEWS

Horror movies get a lot of flack, but this year, there's been a lot of really decent ones. Sinners and this one are probably two of the top of the year. They're smartly written and tell an interesting story.

IMDB Catch up time. Saw this about two weeks ago. The MCU begins the final phase of the Multiverse Saga (that's been hit and miss, we all...

I was a teen when these originals came out. Didn't watch the series or the direct to DVD sequel, but did follow Love's journey as Julie James. I enjoy horror movies for the fun, the spectacle. With movies like this, I enjoy the mystery element. Trying to figure out who's hiding behind the mask or in this case, slicker hat.

Superman should have heart. Be a symbol for hope. He sometimes questions his decisions and his place in the world because, though he's an alien, he was raised by human and still tends to act like one. This is what Gunn's Superman represents. The ideals of what Superman is and what we all could be.

Cavil looks the role as Superman. The costume and the look, it all worked. He was a tough and serious Superman. What I never realized until after a few watches is that I didn’t feel that spark of hope.

He decided to make it a requel, a sequel to Superman II and a reboot all in one. This, in my opinion, was one of the first steps in making the movie flop. I absolutely love the Reeve movies. Singer should have instead, honored the past and what he loved about those Superman movies and did a full reboot. You can tell how hard he was trying to honor the originals, but you have to grow and evolve as a franchise. Move forward, but remember the past.

What if this could have been a good movie? What if there was potential to be something pretty decent? Not as great as the first two, but potentially better than the third.

So…Superman III. It had its moments? It was flawed with a wide range of problems. The first being that from the jump Christopher Reeve...

AI of course can be a wonderful and useful tool, depending on how we use it. It learns and becomes what it is based on what we feed it. Given the current climate of the world, I would advise against using any AI robots in the military in the distant future. Cause you know...again, Terminators.

Despite the glaring plot holes, this is a great movie. It’s fun and it shows how challenging it is for Clark to be both Clark and Superman. Wanting to live his day to day as Clark with Lois, but having to run off and save the world from terrorists or get a cat out of a tree. He chooses to help. To do good. To make the world better.

As a kid, I grew up with Christopher Reeve as Superman. He was and is my benchmark of all those who take on the role. With the new movie a few weeks I decided to go back and rewatch all the modern day Superman movies (1-4, Returns, and Man of Steel) and review them. Looking back without the nostolgia glasses and give my honest take on the films.

It's a John Wick sequel. It's a summer popcorn movie. Absurd action sequences, but done way better than most movies.

So, it's really been over forty years since Ralph Maccio learned the ways of Miyagi-Do karate. While I never saw the first one in theaters (I was only four or so), I did see the other ones. I watched the original ALL the time, because I freakin' LOVED The Karate Kid. Let's dive into the history before the quick review...

The story was interesting and the characters were great. The pacing felt a little slow to me though.

Fitting end to the franchise. Let it end here.

Just when you thought it was over...Death has returned.

She brought so much depth to the role and as much as David Harbour plays the comic relief as Alexei, we all know he can act. The two of them together were absolute gold.

Was it as good as the game? No. Was it a good sucessor as part of the Until Dawn universe? Kind of.

Date night goes wrong when she starts receiving mysterious image drops to her phone. Along with a simple request...kill her date.

When the family discovers that its blood has regenerative properties, they start to harvest the little unicorn...then mom and dad come for it.

This movie was equal parts action/adventure...little bit of mystery...and a lot wincing in your seat. Let's dive in shall we.

Mickey 17 Mickey and his friend owe the mob. So, what better way to escape than head to sign up to be part of a crew that's heading to...

Based on the Steven King short story, The Monkey is about a killer toy monkey. That's...pretty much it, but let's die-ve in.
