If anyone knows me, I am much of a jokester about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make puns on the sameness of all of the movies and the fans that only arrive in droves to see these movies and nothing else. As someone who journeys to film festivals and is at the movies 3-4 times […]
Review (2 of 2): THE LION KING – What The Hell Are We Doing Here?
The following is the second of two reviews on the new Disney Product THE LION KING. Click on the main page to read Managing Editor Jason Whyte’s take on this…movie. I feel nothing.

REVIEW (1 of 2): THE LION KING – The Mighty King Disney Has Truly Fallen
The following is the first of two reviews from GRM contributors on the remake of THE LION KING. Click above on the main page to also read Dustin Burrsma’s take on this new Disney franchise picture. It’s a pretty pathetic thing to think that the only reason that a new version of THE LION KING […]
Review: STUBER – A better title than STULYFT.
The buddy-cop movie is a genre that doesn’t really exist anymore, so when I first heard about STUBER at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival, I was really excited about it. That it was also directed Canada’s own Michael Dowse (FUBAR, IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG, GOON, THE F WORD) captured my interest even […]
Review: ROCKETMAN – Still Standing
Remember when BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY won four Oscars? Please remember that fact when you go to see the far superior Elton John bio-musical, ROCKETMAN, and remember it even harder when this Oscar season sputters into gear, because I can already think of a handful of nominations I would like to award to this film. Not to […]
Review: CRAWL – Storms and Gators and Dogs, Oh My!
Hey, you know those movies that you know are beyond silly but you just love them anyways, warts and all? The new release CRAWL is this movie. It is delightful in its simple existence as a movie that seeks out to entertain, get you pumped up, a little scared and claustrophobic in a singular setting […]
US – Blu Ray Review
Out of all of the big movies that have passed through my eyeballs in 2019 so far, Jordan Peele’s US, a followup to his breakout smash hit GET OUT, is definitely one of the most talked about. Back in March I was standing in an incredibly long line to attend the premiere at the Austin, […]
Review: CAPTAIN MARVEL – Digitally De-aged 90s
Do you think Disney has been digitally de-aging celebrities with increasing regularity over the years in anticipation of this, a film where one of the top-billed stars needs to look like he did in 1995 for the entire duration? This is one of the more pressing questions I had coming out of the latest MCU […]
SxSW 2019 Interview – THE RIVER & THE WALL producer Hillary Pierce
“THE RIVER AND THE WALL is an adventure film rather than a typical essay-style documentary. It’s about five friends who travel the entire length of the Texas-Mexico border on mountain bikes, horses, and canoes to explore the potential impacts of further border wall construction and to see first hand the borderlands and the people and […]
