The Grey, Haywire, The Divide, Shame, Contraband »

Yeah, I’ve been slacking.  Sorry…
Kimbaliano has been hobnobbing with the glitterati in Sundance and I am sure she is working up quite a wrap up post.  For now, I thought I would touch base on my last few flicks…and yes, I love the dot, dot, dot…I’m working on that as well…(dammit!)
I was on the road [...]

A Roving SUNDANCE reporter and…wait for it…Dark Knight Rises Prologue »

I am just returning from a great week in DC, I must say I am most envious of my favorite Indie Girl, Kimbaliano, who is currently rubbing elbows with film glitterati in Park City.  There has been a great deal of buzz about this year’s Sundance Film Festival and I am excited to get a [...]

Reel Rhino’s Top 15 Films of 2011 »

So here it is folks…I know you all have been waiting with baited breath.  Feel free to exhale for the wait is over.
I have be honored to be a part of the Blinkin Blogs team, and I thank the site management for allowing me to continue to post.  I relish my relationship with movies and [...]

Beauty and the Beast »

My junior year in high school I found myself lucky enough to have me a steady.  She was an interesting gal…some of my cronies came to refer to us as Beauty and the Beast.  They enjoyed using that name for us quite much, and it stuck until the end of the year when we broke [...]

Some Words on Film: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and We Bought a Zoo »

In the interim between the honorable mention picks and my top 15, let me take a break for a couple of reviews.
This weekend has a couple of interesting movies on the horizon, but really nothing that grabs my full attention.  Contraband, the Mark Wahlberg flick, is sitting at 59% on RT and some of the [...]

The Best of Film in 2011 – Honorable Mentions »

There is so much that I love about the movies.  While I regret putting together the “worst of” list, it seems to be a necessary evil of this critique racket.  I’m very happy to wash the stink of the bad off of me and get into the great…the things I loved this past year, and [...]

Film Stinkers – The Bottom 10 of ‘11 »

I hate this list with a passion.  Not the movies on the list, but making the list.  I truly believe that for every movie that is made, there are hundreds of people that care about it so deeply, that its failure is not only upsetting, but also heartbreaking (to them, that is).  Some of these [...]

Happy New Year (For Movies!) »

Happy New Year’s, Reel Rhino fans!

I am pleased to see we have all made it to 2012, which according to the Mayans (and to Roland Emmerich) this may be it for us, so thank God we will at least be getting 2012 releases of The Avengers and of course the final flick in the Twi-Hard [...]

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Take II) »

I loved the Millenium Trilogy, as it was delivered in its original Swedish version.  Sweden being the country to which author Stieg Larsson called home until his death in 2004.  Talk about missing out on the party, in 2008, Lasson was the second best selling author in the World, currently having sold over 53 million [...]

MI4, Young Adult, War Horse, Sherlock Holmes…That’s a Good Week »

I am the victim of my own good fortune.  While I encountered a rather dry first few weeks of December, the last few days have been rich in movie going.  Three movies in three days.  I am short on time prepping for the holidays, so I am going to limit my words on Young Adult [...]

A Much Better Week Ahead…Oh Yeah, I Saw The Sitter »

I think that the Holiday release season sits only second to the Summer Blockbuster Season.  It has something to do with extreme weather, I think  Granted, here in KC, we hit the low 60’s this Wednesday with a Spring like wind, but the snow and the cold are certainly on the way.
First, old business.
THE SITTER: [...]

Arthur Christmas and a Weak 2 Weeks in Cinema »

Look at me…new font…nice.
I have been promising this Arthur Christmas review to people for the better part of this week.  I am currently under the weather, coming out of a week of teaching photography, and headed into the weekend needing a pick me up, that just isn’t there.
What in the holy hell has been going [...]

Review: TOWER HEIST and REEL RHINO is an ASS? »

So I’ll cut to the “I’m an Ass” part first.  I did go and see Tower Heist this evening.  I would like to think that for around 150 movies at the theater a year, that I am a sensitive movie goer.
I hate when folks bring loud and inappropriate aged kids to the theater.
I [...]
