Nothing But Reel Reviews & More

In all honesty does this movie even need a little synopsis or description? I think the title makes it pretty self-explanatory. In any case, this week we reviewed the world's newest super-hero film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In this DC universe, Batman is pitted against Superman by the evil Lex Luthor. They end up uniting (in probably the cheesiest fashion ever) to take down Doomsday and Luthor. Be sure to listen in and find out what we liked and hated about this Zach Snyder masterpiece.

We could all be on camera right now and not ever know it. Weird. That's exactly what happens to Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, in the film The Truman Show. Join us as we analyze the life of a man who was the star of the world's biggest reality show. We'll tell you exactly what you need to know, and even give you a gem of the week! This is an episode you won't want to miss.

Who knew Tom Cruise would make such a great villain? Apparently Michael Mann, the director of this week's movie Collateral, did. Unlike the film this week, we promise not to keep you hostage at gun-point! We'll leave that to the professionals. Join us to find out exactly what we liked and disliked about this Michael Mann masterpiece!

Often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, The Godfather is a classic from 1972. This week we broke it down and analyzed everything that made it good, or possibly even bad. In one of our most split reviews ever, someone says it was just meh, while another gave it a perfect 10! Find out what we thought of The Godfather, and while you're at it, check out one of our other episodes!

This week we tackle the hip-hop and rap biopic, Straight Outta Compton. The film stars relative-nobodies and is about the godfathers of gangster rap, NWA. The polarizing group - which included by Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E among others - rose to fame throughout the 80s and 90s rapping about their struggles and life growing up in the hood. This film does an excellent job capturing that feeling, and tells their story! Tune in to see what made us like this film so much!

We're pretty sure there are only four elements, but this movie seems to argue otherwise. That's right, this week we reviewed The Fifth Element. The film stars our boy Bruce Willis, alongside Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, and Ian Holm. It centers on Willis and Jovovich as they discover a legendary cosmic weapon that will help them defeat Evil and Mr. Zorg. You'll definitely want to check out this episode, but as always, some spoilers lie ahead!

Damn NBRR&M, back at it again with another viewer request! This week we bring you a review of Bridge of Spies. The film is carried by Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance, and is about the exchange of a captured Soviet spy for the US U2 spy-plane pilot that was caught behind enemy lines during the Cold War. We don't want to spoil this from the start, but we want to clear the air and say that this movie has considerably less bridges built out of spies than we first anticipated. Bummer. Additionally, it is important to note that Rylance won the 2016 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role.

NBRR&M returns with a review of the film Seven Psychopaths. Much like the film In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths was written and directed by Martin McDonagh, and stars Colin Farrell. It follows a screenwriter who is struggling to write his latest film about, you guessed it, seven psychopaths. Be sure to listen to find out what makes this film so good! As always, spoilers ahead!

This week the guys and lady at NBRR&M are back again with a review of the film Practical Magic. Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, the film follows a family of witches that are cursed when they find true love. A premise that might not sound terrible, but we found the movie to be almost laughable. Join us to find out exactly where this film went wrong! Beware Spoilers!

Slow and steady wins the Oscar, or something along those lines! This week we reviewed Cold Mountain, the slow-paced Civil War love story from 2003. The film stars Jude Law and Nicole Kidman, alongside Academy Award-winning actress Renee Zellweger! As good as it may sound, our reviewers were split on their thoughts about this film! As always, watch out for spoilers!

This one is definitely and oldie but a goodie! This week we bring you the review of the 1993 action movie Demolition Man! Starring Stallone and Snipes, the film is about a maniac doing several Murder/Death/Kills in a non-violent future. As cheesy as it may sound, it was more intelligent than probably think! As always, spoilers ahead.

We were planning on doing a review within a review within a review within a review to get our point across, but hopefully just one review will do just fine! Join us as we dive into the Christopher Nolan masterpiece that is Inception. With a star studded cast that features Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy among others, you'll be questioning if this is reality or not! Hopefully everyone has seen it by now, but just in case, SPOILERS AHEAD!

Loaded with more talk about X-men and chimichangas than ever before, NBRR&M is back with the review of Deadpool! This latest installment in the Marvel universe is unlike any other superhero (although we know Deadpool isn't really a hero..) flick we've seen, and we know you'll love it as much as we did! Join us and find out exactly what we thought about the movie! Beware, and I cannot stress this enough, SPOILERS AHEAD!

Unlike this week's film, you're not gonna have to crack a code to listen to this episode of NBRR&M, but we do guarantee the same amount of social awkwardness and bad jokes! Join us as we dive into a listener's request of The Imitation Game. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the film centers on a group of Britain's most-intelligent trying to crack the German Enigma machine during WWII. You're not going to want to miss this!

Another hotly waited episode, this time reviewing an animated film! This week we get all nostalgic and get right into The Iron Giant. Join Matt, Brent and Shley as they try to stay on course (but we all know that's a rarity for NBRR&M) and review the 1999 film that stars Shooter McGavin and Van Diesel. Beware: Spoilers Ahead!

We're bringing in the new month with a hard right hook with the movie Southpaw! If you love terrible boxes puns (I mean who doesn't), you're going to love this podcast! Aside from our usual idiocracy, we break down the Gyllenhaal-driven boxing film from 2015! This is an episode that absolutely delivers a knock-out blow! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Filled with as many digressions as ever, the cast of NBRR&M is back with a review of one of our favorite Alan Rickman movies, Galaxy Quest. Listen in as we discuss this star-studded Star Trek spoof that pits the kind and peaceful Termites versus the wannabe Ninja Turtles. (Watch the movie and try telling us that's not an accurate description!) Also, be sure to check out this week's gem, Girl with a Pearl Earring!

This week we reviewed Art of the Steal, a movie that features characters that sound more like cereal mascots (Crunch Calhoun) than art thieves! It gets pretty silly in this gem turned movie review! Also, we have the results of last weeks Alan Rickman poll, as well as some of the worst movies to ever be made according to Rotten Tomatoes critics. This is definitely an episode you won't want to miss! Some spoilers ahead.

We're not scientists, but we're pretty sure you can't restart the sun by shooting a nuclear bomb into it. Science or not, that's exactly the plot from the film Sunshine. This week we dove headfirst into Sunshine to see how outlandish it was. Additionally, we have a must listen gem in this episode; some have described it as adult Goonies!

What do you get when you cross the #1 rated movie on IMDB, and the reviewers of Nothing But Reel Reviews & More? You get a really excellent podcast, that's what. In this episode we pick apart and analyze our very first fan request, The Shawshank Redemption. We also touch on Oscar Nominations for this year, and have a quiz on some of the most powerful sci-fi weapons to ever be used. You won't want to miss this!
