One Star Movie Reviewreel90.com
Our hosts are highly trained in the science and skill of sitting back and watching movies. They have learned in their studies that some of the greatest films have come from the 90’s… and so have some of the worst. Each episode they will choose a different cinematic adventure from the 90′s and discuss for, what they hope will be, your listening pleasure.

Candyman (1992)

“Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can The Candy Man can ’cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.” I love that they finally made a wholesome family film based off that lovable Sammy Davis Jr. song!…. Wait…, what? Okay, I’m being told that this movie is not what I mentioned above, but is in fact from a sick and twisted story that Clive Baker (of Hellraiser fame) wrote. Hmmm…I guess I should...

The Long Kiss Goodbye (1996)

So this week’s movie is about a secret agent who has lost their memory, and is living a normal life until the bad guys come back to kill’em. Nope, not one of the Bourne movies! It’s a little known action movie from the mid 90’s, written by Shane Black ( Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon 1&2, and Iron Man 3). This action gem has all the great qualities of a Lethal Weapon or Die Hard movie, except a good ending. Our Hosts Ricky Glore Eric M. Hunter Nick Prince The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) A...

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

Welcome to a future where humans can be walking flash drives! That’s right! In this 1995 ACTION/SCIFI film, Johnny Mattdamon…I mean, Johnny Marshmellow… crap… Johnny Mnoma nah… In THIS MOVIE , the future has become a dark greedy place, where corporations will do what they can to induce profit margins. Hmmm…the future you say? We all agree that this is just a dumb, fun action flick that has a little bit too much goin’ on in it, but love the fact that we can say that a character like Cyborg Jesus ...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - the Movie (1996)

“In the not too distant future…” How many times have you thought to yourself, “Man, this old B movie is terrible! I wish I had someone to watch it with me and make sarcastic and snide remarks during the viewing…”? Well now you can with Mystery Science Theater 3000: the Movie! Our pick this episode wasn’t exactly a hit across the board with our hosts. With all of the different “riffing” groups that exist now, it’s nice to see how it all got started.

Freeway (1996)

Reese Witherspoon is such a wretched, vile, angry, annoying piece of white trash… …in the movie FREEWAY. See what we did there? Made ya’ think we were talking about the person, but then made it about the character in the movie…anywhoooo…. Eric Hunter’s pick is a nice change of pace, with none of us having seen the movie, all the hosts get to give an unbiased original opinion on this film. Our Hosts Ricky Glore Eric M Hunter Nick Prince Freeway (1996) Synopsis A twisted take on ‘Little Red Riding...

A League of Their Own (1992)

“It’s time to play…BALL!” Women playing Baseball?!?! Wha-wha-what??? I know it’s crazy, but follow me… At one time in history, a World War happened, well okay, the second time that happened… WW2 breaks out and business men decide that instead of losing money with their star athletes away and fighting in the war, that they’ll take the best women they can find from around the world, and have them play baseball. Let me just tell you this…oh how the comedy ensues! Who knew that misogyny was soooo en...

Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994)

So who had the hovering, silver balls on them to pick this movie?!? Your one and only REEL 90 Host, Ricky Glore, picked this “ball busting” HORROR/ACTION/COMEDY classic. Listen to find out if our other hosts, Eric and Nick, are able to follow the Phantasm III’s storyline, without having seen Phantasm I or II. Listen to find out from Ricky, that if by seeing Phantasm I or II, Phantasm III’s storyline makes any more sense. So sit back, listen, and have a BALL! (I swear the ball puns are done…okay,...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Remember a time when you could do an action movie set in a city, and that didn’t mean Michael Bay would come in and make multiple sky scrapper buildings crumble and get destroyed? We here at REEL 90 do! The lads all agree that the original (OG), Turtles movie, is the way to go and still is a great fun adventure, action packed film. No question about that, no question at all…Wait…There may be one question… WHERE DO THE TURTLES GET THEIR MONEY?!? Our Hosts Ricky Glore Eric M. Hunter Nick Prince Te...

Four Rooms (1995)

What happens when you tell four different stories, by four different writers and directors (only two of which you’ve ever heard of…), and put them all in the setting of one old school Hollywood Hotel on New Years Eve?!? Well apparently the gents at REEL 90 thinks that you get ONE mediocre (or bad) movie. Listen and decide if you think FOUR ROOMS is uneven, or if Betty White’s “Golden Girls” (her boobs), could have saved it! Our Hosts Ricky Glore Shae Hornback Eric M. Hunter Nick Prince Four Room...
