Hello, You’re Dead. Please Wait In Line. Peter Green wakes up in the lobby of Purgatory – with no memory of how he died – wearing only pinstriped pajamas and a white silk tie, surrounded by dead people. Believe it or not, all of this is perfectly normal, one more newcomer who
It’s only a few hours till the Oscars, so guest reviewer reelrealities returns with a look at 2018’s surprise hit “A Quiet Place.” Horror can be a tricky genre to master. We get scores of horror movies each year but remember only a handful by the end. So it’s refreshing when filmmakers give new twists
The Oscars are almost here, so guest reviewer L. Seymour gives us an Australian’s opinion of Vice. Vice is a biographical drama/comedy written and directed by Adam McKay (The Big Short, Anchorman, Step Brothers, and Talladega Nights).

The music is wonderful and Julie Andrews is a treasure, but I’ve always found it to be overly scattered and episodic in nature. For this reason, I was a
Next up in our series on the Oscar-nominated films, here’s a review of “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” from WMK Movie Reviews. There’s almost nothing better than a director who can create something so sophisticated out of a premise so simple, and Marielle Heller does the job so well in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Speaking as a twin, people sure loved to shout “WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE” in my general direction when I was growing up. In spite of that, Kathryn and I always liked the Wonder Twins: Super Friends was a pretty silly show (we knew that even in the 80s) but Jayna and Zan were cool, and
“Be sure.” Every person in Eleanor West’s Home For Wayward Children has their own backstory of the fairytale world they stepped into, and their own reason for desperately wanting to go back. In Seanan McGuire’s latest novella in her Wayward
