2025/11/01

Did you know that there's a town in Oregon that turns into Halloween Town every October? Yeah, me neither. I checked out this documentary about the town of St. Helen's Oregon, where the town brings in nearly 60,000 people each year for their Halloween Town celebration. Is the town haunted? Is it cursed? Is there a Karen who absolutely hates this celebration and wants it to stop? Check out my review of The Spirit of Halloween Town! The Reel Pineapple is your one-stop shop for the latest movie

Blue Moon Review

The Reel Pineapple ·

2025/10/26

Richard Linklater directed one of my favorite films of 2024 in the Glen Powell banger "Hitman". Can Linklater keep that streak going in 2025? Perhaps..... Ethan Hawke stars as the legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart, who is getting feeling sorry for himself, as he faces a future without Richard Rodgers; at the opening night of Rodgers latest offering in "Oklahoma." Is this deserving of all of the critical praise it's receiving? Check out my review of Blue Moon! The Reel Pineapple is your one-stop shop

This is basically "Eat, Pray, Love", but for stoners .

She has multiple "problems" with her parents who won't leave her alone, her ex-boyfriend who she may or may not be stalking, and two detectives who think she's a criminal.
