"The Predator" (2018) attempts to breathe new life into the iconic franchise with a mix of action, humor, and sci-fi elements. However, the film struggles with a convoluted plot that juggles multiple storylines, leading to moments of confusion. While "The Predator" offers some entertaining moments and nostalgic nods to its predecessors, it ultimately leaves viewers divided on its effectiveness as a continuation of the franchise.

"Before Midnight" is a thought-provoking and heartfelt film that offers a mature look at love and commitment. It may not have the same whimsical vibe as "Before Sunrise," but it wraps up the trilogy in a powerful way, leaving you with plenty to think about. If you're a fan of the series or just love a good exploration of relationships, this one's definitely worth a watch.

"Before Sunset," directed by Richard Linklater, is a remarkable film that beautifully captures the complexities of love, time, and the human experience. As the second installment in Linklater's "Before" trilogy, this film goes beyond the typical romantic narrative, offering a profound exploration of connection and the passage of time.

Django Unchained tackles the brutal realities of slavery with unflinching honesty while also delivering a thrilling story. The film's bold approach to its subject matter, combined with its stellar performances and masterful direction, makes it a standout in Tarantino's illustrious career.

Join us on our latest podcast episode as we dive deep into the cinematic worlds of Quentin Tarantino with a thrilling review of "Death Proof" and "Inglourious Basterds"! We'll explore the gritty homage to grindhouse cinema in "Death Proof," dissecting its unique storytelling while also unraveling the audacious reimagining of World War II in "Inglourious Basterds," where revenge and dark humor collide.

From the very first frame, the film captivates with its stunning cinematography, vibrant colors, and meticulously choreographed fight scenes. Uma Thurman's portrayal of The Bride is nothing short of iconic, delivering a performance that is both fierce and vulnerable. The supporting cast, including Lucy Liu, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, and Daryl Hannah, add depth and complexity to the story, making every character memorable.

While Jackie Brown may not enjoy the same mainstream fame as Tarantino's other films, it is undoubtedly one of his most mature and thoughtful works. It's a film willing to take its time, diving into its characters' intricacies and motivations, making it a deeply satisfying watch for those willing to appreciate its subtleties.

Robert Winfree, Alexis Hejna and Mark Radulich present their Wolf Man 2025 Movie Review!Wolf Man is a 2025 American horror film directed by Leigh Whannell from a screenplay he co-wrote with Corbett Tuck. A reboot of The Wolf Man (1941), the film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger. The plot follows a family man seeking to protect his wife and daughter from a werewolf, only to become infected and slowly transform into the creature. Jason Blum produces alongside his Blumhouse Productions banner.The film was announced in 2014 and was to be part of the Dark Universe, a shared cinematic universe centered on the Universal Monsters. Aaron Guzikowski and David Callaham were attached to write the script. After the failure of The Mummy (2017), Universal shifted its focus to standalone films. The success of Whannell's The Invisible Man (2020) rekindled Universal's interest in the Monsters franchise. They accepted a pitch by Ryan Gosling, who was also set to star, for a new Wolf Man film with Derek Cianfrance to direct. However, Cianfrance left the project in 2023 and Gosling dropped out of the role, remaining as executive producer while Whannell took over as director with a new cast. Principal photography occured in New Zealand in early 2024.Wolf Man was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on January 17, 2025. The film received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $16.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Today, we are holding space for the 2024 film starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Wicked. Chris Derosa (Fixing Famous People) is back on the podcast to talk about what it felt like to sit through Wicked once….twice….possibly three times and be riveted at the return of talent and magic in theaters. We will honor the feelings we had to make room for when Defying Gravity was sung. The press tour and the reactions to the film will be analyzed We will also bring into question why it gets so hard for us to celebrate a film that is being championed by two women who are unafraid to show their true emotions about female friendship and the power behind their latest project.. Mostly, this will be a celebration of this massive film that got us through the end of 2024.Support the Show:Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram! https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

The Secret of NIMH is a bold and memorable entry into the world of animated cinema, even if its narrative ambition occasionally outpaces its execution. It is a film that rewards patience and appreciation for artistry, though it might leave some viewers yearning for a more focused and balanced tale.

Wes Anderson's Asteroid City offers a visually stunning, quirky escape, yet feels like it's missing some of the emotional depth that has grounded his previous work. Set in a stylized, 1950s desert town, the film presents an eccentric ensemble of characters, with performances that range from deadpan to delightfully absurd. Anderson's signature color palette and meticulous framing are in full force, lending each shot a painterly quality that fans of his aesthetic will adore.

Released in 1995 and directed by Joe Johnston, "Jumanji" is a beloved family adventure film that captivates audiences with its imaginative premise and thrilling visual effects. Based on the 1981 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg, the movie follows the story of two children who discover an ancient magical board game that brings its dangers to life.

“Rambo: First Blood Part II” is a must-watch for fans of action films and 80s cinema. It solidifies John Rambo as a cultural icon and delivers a thrilling, high-octane experience. While it may not be the most nuanced film, its action-packed sequences and Stallone's performance make it a standout in the genre. The film's influence can be seen in countless action movies that followed, and it remains a beloved classic for its unapologetic embrace of over-the-top action and heroism.

“The Doors” is a film that will likely divide audiences. Those who appreciate Olivet Stone's kinetic style and Kilmer's intense performance will find much to admire, but those looking for a more balanced or nuanced portrayal of the band may be disappointed. The movie captures the energy and chaos of The Doors, but in doing so, it sometimes loses sight of the complexity and artistry that made them more than just another rock band.

"The Patriot" (2000), a film that intertwines the personal trials of a family with the broader struggle for independence. Mel Gibson delivers a compelling performance as Benjamin Martin, a man caught between his peaceful life and the violent upheavals of war. With its intense battle scenes, emotional depth, and historical drama, "The Patriot" is a must-watch for history buffs and movie enthusiasts alike.

“The Killer” is a gripping thriller that showcases David Fincher's unparalleled skill in creating atmospheric, character-driven narratives. It's a film that demands attention and rewards viewers with a rich, immersive experience. Whether you're a fan of Fincher's previous work or new to his films, “The Killer” is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates masterful storytelling and psychological depth. The film's intricate plot, strong performances, and stunning visuals make it a standout in the thriller genre, and a testament to Fincher's talent as a filmmaker.

“Godzilla” (1998) stands as a visually impressive but polarizing entry in the Godzilla franchise. While it delivers spectacle and thrills, it falls short in character development and faithfulness to the original concept of Godzilla. The film is a mixed bag; it is enjoyable for its action and special effects but lacks narrative depth and character engagement. For some, it's a nostalgic piece of late-90s blockbuster cinema; for others, a missed opportunity to do justice to one of the most iconic monsters in film history.

Emmerich's direction ensures a brisk pace, balancing explosive action sequences with moments of tension and character development. The screenplay, co-written by Emmerich and Dean Devlin, skillfully interweaves multiple storylines, creating a tapestry of global perspectives. This approach heightens the stakes and fosters a sense of worldwide camaraderie, a theme poignantly encapsulated in President Whitmore's rousing speech rallying humanity to fight back on July 4th.It combines heart-pounding action, compelling performances, and state-of-the-art effects to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. The film's enduring popularity is a testament to its ability to tap into universal themes of courage, ingenuity, and the indomitable spirit of humanity. For fans of sci-fi and disaster films, “Independence Day” is a must-watch, a thrilling ride that captures the imagination and stirs the soul.

Stargate is a must-watch for sci-fi enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys a good adventure. Its blend of mythology, science fiction, and action makes it a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences. The film's impressive special effects, engaging storyline, and memorable characters make it a standout in the sci-fi genre

“Universal Soldier” excels as an action-packed sci-fi film with a unique premise and memorable set pieces, but it falters in narrative cohesion and character development. Van Damme and Lundgren fans, or those with a penchant for '90s action flicks, will likely find much to enjoy. For others, the film may feel like a relic of its time, offering more spectacle than substance.

The review section on Amazon.  It is a silly place.  Sometimes you wonder if the people reviewing actually watched the movie they just reviewed. Or understand how to write a cohesive thought.  Well… we know the answer to that.  Jamie has yet again tasked Bret and Andrew to try and figure out the item the person is trying to review. Some of which only sum things up in two sentences. The thing you discover they hate is the biggest surprise of all.  And since it's Halloween, the guys also go into a few of the movies that are at the top of their must watch list every Halloween.  So join us and don't eat too much of the candy you intended to pass out to trick or treaters.

We're back at high school this week as Catherine has chosen Mr Holland's Opus (1995), a film that her 10-year-old self thought was very inspirational. Through the rewatch and discussion she realises that it's really not that good… not every film ages well! We talk about white men doing their jobs and getting congratulated for it; we lament how 90s movies romanticised dodgy student-teacher relationships; and a missed opportunity to meaningfully represent the hearing-impaired community. Instagram | feelthingspodcast@gmail.comPlease leave us a review to help people find us ✨Credits: hosted, produced and edited by Alex Kemp and Catherine Spinks

We've got a special "Warriors" episode of Reel Review for you today! We got together Lt. Col. Olivia Nelson and two female Air Force ROTC Cadets to discuss the first (!) Marvel movie to center a female superhero: Captain Marvel.  Warning: Spoilers! Host Jonathan Schwartz is joined by Lt. Col.

Rhymes for Young Ghouls, written and directed by Jeff Barnaby is set on the Red Crow Mi'g Maq reservation in 1976. It follows 15 year old Aila as she navigates growing up in a country which imposes taxes and violence upon those who wish to preserve heritage, language, and way of living. She must also face the violence & addiction within her family, within her own community. The children of the Crow have a common enemy. The sadistic truancy officer, Popper. Popper torments the children with physical and psychological violence if they remain "truant."  Rhymes is a heist film, a revenge film, a coming of age film, and possibly one of the most relevant for policy films we've discussed on the podcast.  If you haven't seen the movie, beware, this conversation has a ton of spoilers. We highly recommend watching - it's streaming on multiple platforms. Host Jonathan Schwartz is joined by Chris Finley and Aubrey Hicks.

Wonder Woman is finally on the big screen! Raised on an island secluded from the world, Diana trained harder than any Amazon before her. Taught that the world of man was corrupted by Ares, the God of War, Diana sees an opportunity to kill Ares and set the world right after a pilot crashes on the island.
