The Matinee Review by RE & MBLisa FrankensteinUnfortunately, Ryan and Mark don't have very many nice things to say about this movie. They both give it a 5/10 and cannot recommend this film. The movie does have some good elements to it and some great acting but overall it just isn't very good. The story isn't very good and often the movie comes off as a bit random. There are good parts that are exciting and interesting but just when you think it might be going somewhere good, it lets you down.The movie is about a young girl struggling to fit into teen life...

The Matinee Review by RE & MBArgylleArgylle is a really great movie and then it isn't. Ryan and Mark give this film a 7 and 6.5, respectively. It has a strong cast starring Bryce Dallas Howard. The acting is great as you would expect with such reputable actors. It starts out really strong and then just takes a turn for the worst. As Mark put it, it heads toward "lunacy" with the last 30-45 minutes of the film just getting too crazy.Ryan and Mark both recommend seeing it but don't rush to the theater and temper your expectations.Send us a text

The Matinee Review by RE & MBI.S.S.I.S.S. (International Space Station) is overall a good movie. Ryan and Mark give it a 7/10 and 7.5/10, respectively. It is about a conflict that goes on in the I.S.S. after Nuclear war between the US and Russia has broken out back on earth. The three Americans that occupy the station have been advised to take over the station using any means necessary. The three Russians received the same communication.The movie is very thought provoking and forces the audience into the shoes of the astronauts. Ultimately, nationalities are forgotten (by most) as the group...

They both recommend seeing it.Send us a text

The Matinee Review by RE & MBThe Boys in the BoatThe Boys in the Boat is arguably one of the better movies of the year and is also based on a true story. Ryan and Mark both recommend seeing it sooner rather than later and give the film a 9 and 8, respectively. The movie is an underdog story that follows a junior varsity 8-man row team that defies all expectations and ends up in the 1936 Olympic games with a reasonable chance to win a medal. Send us a text

The Matinee Review by RE & MBSilent NightThis John Woo film was not amongst his best. Ryan and Mark give this film a 5 and 4.5, respectively. It stars Joel Kinnaman as an unconsolable father that has lost his son in seemingly senseless gang violence. He is hellbent on getting vengeance and is willing to lose everything and die for it. The film does have some really good parts and elements to it but overall it is a bust. The characters are completely silent throughout the movie and while that concept starts out intriguing it gets played out pretty quickly. It also has some over-the-top ridiculous s...

The Matinee Review by RE & MBNapoleonIn this episode, Ryan and Mark review the highly anticipated Napoleon starring Joaquin Pheonix. The movie follows the actual events of the life of the well known French Emperor Napoleon. While there are some historical inaccuracies the film does a great job of displaying Napoleon as he really was which you might find is much different than you've heard.Ryan and Mark both recommend this film and give it a 7.5. This rating was reached because while the film is mostly great it does skip through some seemingly big events with little explanation about the meaning of those...
