Chris Pine Archives - Reel Film Nerds

Happy new podcast day! For Reel Film Nerds Podcast #317 Matt and Mike chat about a movie based on a classic RPG Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. Not misunderstood board game topics include Bones, cats, and allergies.

What a really nice spring surprise. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a really fun movie with a great story, great acting, decent CGI, and surprisingly great humor. D&D is not a monster movie, it is a creature movie. There are lots of fun animals, dragons, and mythical creatures throughout the film. D&D does not try to take itself too seriously. What I mean by that is this, the movie does not try to tell you what to think. It does not try to make you experience an emotional or analytical revelation. It is just a movie with a great adventure, story, and characters. It’s exactly the kind of movie that we are really missing today.

No, D&D is not going to win any awards. It’s not going to have you talking about it with your friends two weeks later. It’s just a really fun time. Mike and Matt think this is a must see film in the theaters. Mike awards Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 4 out of 5 Reels while Matt gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we check out the new release Air starring Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Ben Affleck. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #7 at the end of RFN Episode #317. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy New Year everyone! It’s a new year so why not review a new movie? Today Mike and Matt discuss Wonder Woman 1984 starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. Bonus topics today include Mike still can’t read, HBO Max is killing movie theaters, and the MCU VS the DCEU.

What a let down. Matt and Mike had high hopes for this movie. They both really enjoyed the 2017 original but it’s 2020 sequel fell very short of even average. The acting is good, the sets looked great, and the action sequences were over the top and incredible. Sadly this film is awful thanks to numerous plot holes and a bad story line to name a few flaws. Mike braved the outside world and watched it in the theater, Matt did not. He watched it on HBO Max and he is glad he did. Mike and Matt both agree this movie is only worth a watch if you can see it for free at home. Mike gives WW1984 2.5 out of 5 Reels, Matt with the rare lower score awards it 2 out of 5 Reels.

Next week it is Matt’s pick. Being a metal-head and fan of Riz Ahmed’s acting, he picked the recently released Amazon Original Sound of Metal currently streaming on Prime Video. Thank you for another year supporting our podcast and we will chat at you next week.
