The Reel Pineapple ·

2023/07/22

Since we're on the eve of Barbieheimer, why not celebrate one of the first documentaries to really shine a light on the cultural impact of Barbie?

2023/06/27

Since Reno celebrates Pride in July, I'm going to try and get a few more pride reviews done before we hit August, but this is a review of a 2022 film that was HORIRBLY slept on. It's a damn shame because Gabrielle Union gives the performance of her career, Jeremy Pope is a young person who is on the come up, and Elegance Bratton is a director truly to keep an eye out on. I don't even want to tell you too much of a synopsis on this film outside of Jeremy Pope plays a young man who joins the service

Kraven the Hunter Trailer Breakdown

2023/06/19

I really hate that Sony is going to continue with this facade of "we can make villain movies without Spider-Man, and make them work......you'll see. Dear Sony, NO ONE GIVES A YOU KNOW WHAT ABOUT A KRAVEN THE HUNTER MOVIE WITHOUT SPIDER-MAN, no one cares about a Madame Webb movie........if y'all had anyone intelligent working in the live action department you'd have a Silk or Spider-Woman movie made by now. But no, you're going to keep torturing us with these films. Also, the person who wrote this

Well, it's another year another live action Disney adaptation........they're really never going to stop with these are they? Halley Bailey stars as Ariel(why is Ariel black, thanks Biden), who simply wants to know what it's like to be human, and yet her dad King Triton(Javier Bardem) forbids here from exploring life outside of the ocean floor. Directed by Rob Marshall, does this movie earn its sea legs, or does the movie.......flouder? Check out my review of the 2023 remake of The Little

White Men Can’t Jump(2023) Review

The Reel Pineapple ·

2023/05/19

Did we really need a remake of this movie? Look, I just learned who Jack Harlow was like a month ago, but filling Woody Harrelson's shoes are a big ask for anyone, let alone....Jack Harlow. A re-imagining(or at this movie would say a remix) of the 1992 film, we get Sinqua Walls and the aforementioned Jack Harlow stepping into the Wesley Snipes/Woody Harrelson roles as two basketball players, who are addicted to gambling trying to hustle to achieve their dreams. How does this..........remix measure
