Trailer Into REaction: Wally’s Wonderland (2020) | Official Trailer

As you can probably guess, I really like words though as a focus of a television show it’s probably not something most people would find engaging. Then again there’s Netflix’s History of Swear Words. What makes it interesting is not only that it takes commonly used curses – which if you’ve existed on this planet […]

REview: Wolfwalkers (2020) | Animation that Captivates and Amazes

As I’ve aged (gracefully, I like to think) I’ve noticed that I don’t tend to watch much animation; I don’t dislike it, and in fact respect it as an art from in and of itself, though it just doesn’t engage me. Part of the problem is that I grew up on hand-drawn animation. And sure, […]

REview: Don’t Tell A Soul (2020) | The Ties That Bind Can Also Destroy

I received an invite from Dread Central to catch an early release of Alex McAulay’s Don’t Tell A Soul, which I went into it blind. I’m not sure why I did though I’m really glad that I did because after having seen it, if someone called it a “masterpiece” I could understand where they were […]

REview: Daniel Isn’t Real (2019) | A Creepy and Weird Surprise

By my reckoning the best sort of movie is one that takes you entirely by surprise. The type of movie you go into not knowing a thing (or relatively little) about to discover a really awesome experience. And that’s what Daniel Isn’t Real is. The movie revolves around a young person, Luke (Miles Robbins, the […]

REview: Tenet (2020) | Few Movies Are As Fascinating (And As Irritating) As This One

Having seen Tenet recently from the relative safety of my apartment, I’m glad that I didn’t risk my life to see it in a theater because it’s not only too long – at 2 1/2 hours it could have easily been whittled down at least a half hour – but it’s also more than a […]

Trailer Into REaction w/ News: The Reckoning (2020) | Official Trailer

I’m trying something new with my Youtube channel, Trailer Into REaction w/News because there’re sometimes things I want to comment in the entertainment news arena on don’t necessarily want to spend an inordinate amount of time on a particular topic. And besides, I don’t have a dedicated “News” feature on my channel and I’m not […]

REview: We Can Be Heroes (2020) | Children May Not Like This (With Good REason)

We Can Be Heroes is the first of the movies that Robert Rodriguez occasionally writes and directs for children (Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Spy Kids) that I have watched in it’s entirety and it’s as banal as I always assumed that the movies he’s written and directed for children would be. And it’s worth mentioning that […]

REview: Grizzly (1976) | One of the Better “Jaws” Imitators

Having read a bit about the bizarre story behind Grizzly II: Revenge (1983) I was really curious about not only it, but the movie it’s a sequel to, 1976’s Grizzly (currently spooling on Tubi). And it’s okay though what works for a shark doesn’t quite work for a massive, 15-feet tall bear (standing on its […]

REview: Primal Rage (2018) | Flirts With Bigfoot Perfection (though Comes Up Short)

Good Bigfoot movies are hard to come by. Off the top of my head I can recall (“sorta” as far as the former is concerned) The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972), Willow Creek (2012) and Exists (2014). Which isn’t to say that there’re aren’t more, just that they aren’t particularly good. Prove me wrong. They’re […]

REview: The Isle (2018) | Just Because Something Seems Old Doesn’t Make It Good

Not to be confused with The Aisle (which you’d think was the title of this movie as often as I’ve corrected myself). Anyway, the fetishization of black and white filmmaking by some has always bothered me because they typically imply that it began as an esthetic choice, as opposed to filmmakers having no other option. […]
