Yesterday

Yesterday
Coming Off the Reels

This week we discuss the latest film from Danny Boyle, Yesterday. I know that this movie was released to mixed reviews across the board. Some people who love the Beatles felt like it did them a disservice. Some people who don’t like The Beatles just didn’t care for the premise in general. Still others felt the whole thing was a little too schmaltzy. But hey, Ed Sheeran turned out to be pretty funny, and in general, we at COTR like a little schmaltz.

Enjoy!

127 Hours

127 Hours
Coming Off the Reels

Danny Boyle has long been one of our favorite directors here at Coming Off The Reels, and 127 Hours doesn't disappoint in any way.  Beautifully shot, masterfully scripted and acted, it should be at the very least a shoe in for a number of Oscar nods if not wins. Oh, and I think maybe we also talk about Tron...
