13 Going on 30 is getting a new reboot over at Netflix. Emily Bader and Logan Lerman star in the new version of a millennial favorite. Brett Haley is attached to direct. And, don't worry Jennifer Garner is aboard the project as an executive producer. Deadline reports that the project is a go over
While this weekend's The Running Man isn't exactly a remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name, most moviegoers will head into it thinking it is. The film is a more faithful adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel and is certainly its own beast compared to the more
If you are familiar with my reviews, you know, for the most part, I am not anti-reboots of old films and TV series. So, when I learned Hulu was remaking the classic 1992 film, White Men Can’t Jump, I actually thought it was the perfect background to update it for a new generation. The original
Lost in the Reel's video review for Reboot If you have felt like there has been a dry spell of solid, legitimately funny comedies in recent years, you are not alone. In a time when everyone is so easily offended and eager to "cancel" a performer or an entire production for one bad joke or
This is it. We are in the last episode of HBO Max’s And Just Like That… Man, this series was one heck of a ride. This show is a fabulous example of how reboots can be great if done properly. It continues the narrative, without making it feel like the same old story we have with the

This past Friday, we had news of a remake/reboot/sequel to The Lost Boys. It's safe to say that the reaction was tepid from horror fans. Depending on where you looked, there were people who were excited that we're getting more than just a direct-to-DVD sequel to the original film, or you had people
Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger feels like a movie that’s selling itself as something deeper than it ultimately is. There’s an expectation that we’re going to get this grand story about the Gallagher brothers reconciling, putting aside their differences, and coming back together for these
There will be many moments during Paul Greengrass's new film The Uprising that create chilling parallels to recent historical events. His exploration of the 1381 peasants revolt in Medieval England is rooted as much in historical fact as it is relevant to the present day. Some of this is clearly by
“By Any Means” treads familiar ground, but Mark Wahlberg shines as real life Hitman-turned-Fed informer Gregory Scarpa, and behind the tropes and cinematic conventions is the kernel of a true story that has relevance to this day. Mark Wahlberg is distracting (mostly in a good way) throughout
