RoboCop (1987)

Rye Smile Films ·

2019/03/16

This week, we wrap up our final film in "The Corporation from Hell!" cask which is another film directed by Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop. This insane sci-fi/action film is not only one of those most violent films of the 80s but also a smartly thought out satire that plays on many themes. Journey with us as we go back to witness the death and resurrection of Alex Murphy along with the dealings of the evil Omni Consumer Products.

Rye Smile Films is back with a new cask, this one titled "The Corporation from Hell!" This week we take a detailed look at Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece, Alien.

Double Indemnity (1944)

2019/02/16

Journey with us as we tackle everything from the casting of the film to its dark themes of betrayal, murder, and romance. Our Flight for the week asks, "What is the most un-orthodox film couple" to go along with the Valentine's Day

2019/02/09

Welcome back as we unveil the next film in our "Gun and the Girl" cask which is Basic Instinct. This taut thriller, directed by Paul Verhoeven, spawned a slew of imitators but none could ever match the relentlessness of the seductive Catherine Tramell. Journey with us as we look at the themes and the production history and lets prepare to cleanse the pallet with a trip to the early 90s.

Glass (2019)

Rye Smile Films ·

2019/01/26

Today, we disembark on the final stop of Eastrail 177 with the highly anticipated release of Glass. A sequel, 19 years in the making, is something fans have been clamoring for since the that fateful twist ending at the end of Unbreakable. Is this the satisfying conclusion to the remarkable trilogy, or does Shyamalan revert back to those dark days of the later 2000s. Journey with us as we breakdown the film for all its brilliance and shortcomings. The flight for this week asks, "What is the best 3rd

2019/01/19

Welcome back to Rye Smile Films! This week we continue our trek on Eastrail 177 with a trip to the world of Split starring James McAvoy. This film serves as the delicious appetizer to this week's release of Glass. Is Split a return to form for M. Night Shyamalan or is this another serious misstep for the once promising director? The flight for this week plays "what if" and what sequel we could erase from human existence. Our night cap for the week asks, "What is one sequel we never got, that we so

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Rye Smile Films, the new film review podcast that highlights new/old and strange films. In anticipation of the release of the film, Glass, we look at the film that started it all, Unbreakable. Does the first part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy suffer the same fate of some of Shyamalan’s other films, or is it a criminally underated classic. Our flight for the week will also include a review of the most surprising and disappoint films of 2018. We conclude with a
