ReelViews for R movies

During the summer of 2003, Miramax Films is courting controversy. First, with the release of The Magdalene Sisters, the distributor was accused of being anti-Catholic. Now, with the release of Buffalo Soldiers, the charge is one of being unpatrio...

Calling Bug a "horror" film may be misleading. Although the movie includes some of the trappings genre fans would expect - including a moment of gore that will cause some viewers to turn away from the screen - it's more of a psychological drama. I...

For the first time in their four collaborations, the director/actor pairing of Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone misses fertile soil. Bugonia, a remake of Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 comedy Save the Green Planet!, proves to be a mismatch of tone and mat...

If one was to make a list of the best baseball-themed movies of all time, Bull Durham would have to be in consideration. Alongside the likes of The Natural and Field of Dreams, it remains one of the best-loved hardball titles. Filmmakers like the...

This review contains some minor spoilers.Burden is one of those socially-conscious movies where you’re tempted to say, “Well, at least its heart is in the right place.” A historically-based film with an old-fashioned theme of love triumph...

Let me start out by saying that Buried isn't a lot of fun, but it is raw and compelling. In the same way it's impossible to turn away from a grisly accident, taking your eyes away from Ryan Reynolds' hypnotizing performance is not an option. Ther...
