Saying that this year Christmas movies from streaming services have been a letdown is an understatement. Prime Video's Something from Tiffany's is mediocre at best. Netflix's Falling for Christmas is boring with zero chemistry; The Noel Diary while good is depressing. Christmas with You hits a lot
This Holiday season I have been mostly disappointed with the fun, cheesy, heartfelt rom-com to come out. Falling for Christmas was supposed to be Lindsay Lohan's big return - falls terribly flat. The Noel Diary is good, but also incredibly depressing and I don't love a cheating storyline. So when I

Lost in the Reel's video review for Samaritan The new film Samaritan shares very similar DNA to Rocky Balboa and Creed, except with superheroes in the mix. So, it's pretty fitting that Sylvester Stallone is headlining this Amazon Prime flick. It also has nearly the same plot as another
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia gives us a true puppetmistress in the form of Boraqchin in Ep. 11 "An Ungraceful Stone". This episode has shown her to be a master planner and manipulator, making her quite the political genius. However, this episode also reveals that the people she's puppeting don't
Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
