Lost in the Reel's video review for Luck It's been five years since Disney cut ties with their chief animator John Lasseter, who built Pixar from the ground up. He is the genius behind Toy Story and Cars. As well as the executive producer of Tangled, Frozen, Zootopia and so many more classic
Is Prey what we all expected out of a Predator movie? Absolutely not. Predator has had a rough go of it historically at the box office and critically. While most agree the first film is a masterpiece of the action/monster genre, some of the sequels after, and especially recently haven't done as
Bullet Train is the type of movie that I will always love to some degree. It's an action-sort of a murder mystery set almost entirely on one set piece, the titular bullet train. There's intrigue, assassins, gangs, murder, comedy, and a giant anime-costumed character that gets punched. If you can't

This year marks the 60th anniversary of one of our favorite Marvel Superheroes, Spider-Man. To celebrate this amazing anniversary I will be taking a look and reviewing a few of the Spider-Man items around the Spider-Verse that Diamond Select Toys (DST) has to offer. The items I will be looking at
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
