Reel Reviews | Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

9 May, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

Much like the apes in the movie forgetting the legacy of Caesar, this film seems to have lost the foundation of the movies that came before it.

2 May, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

The film is a well-executed re-imagining of a fairly unmemorable television series from the early 80’s.

Reel Reviews | Challengers

25 April, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

Except for a couple of tennis scenes (one where the point of view is from a tennis ball being played) the film lags in its service.

Reel Reviews | Abigail

18 April, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

Despite having a textbook plot, this film is engaging and entertaining.  Don’t look for a lot of traditional horror scares but be ready for buckets of blood.

Reel Reviews | The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

18 April, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

The film is fun but easily forgettable.  While the actors and the scenes pack punch, the film, as a whole, does not.

Reel Reviews | Sting

11 April, 202423 June, 2024FilmGordon

A poor script, coupled with decent special effects make Sting an OK movie to watch in theaters but a great movie to watch at home in the creepy darkness of a creaky home.
