Reeder's Movie Reviews: The Odyssey
The Odyssey takes an iconic work of literature, dissects and rearranges it, and packages it as a distinctive, thrilling entertainment for modern audiences.

Reeder's Movie Reviews: Disclosure Day
It may well become the most discussed line of dialogue in any movie released this year. A line we don’t actually hear, by design.
