Movie review: Finding Dory
—
If *Finding Nemo* is pure gold, then *Finding Dory* is about 90% pure gold, which is still much better than most movies in this genre. There was plenty of fun to be had, and the messages of inspiration were well told. I think kids will enjoy and learn from this movie. Adults who liked *Finding…

Movie review: Aliens
—
This is, hands down, the best science fiction action movie of all time. There’s nothing more that need be said. I don’t think anyone gives Carrie Henn, who plays Newt, enough credit for delivering, what I think, is the best child performance ever. She simply nailed it. And then never, ever, appeared in another film…

Movie review: Wonder Woman
—
I think this is easily the best of the Justice League series so far. (Not that that bar has been set very high.) What this movie has going for it is great casting. Gal Gadot as Diana/WW and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor have really good chemistry together. There were plenty of humorous and touching…

Movie Review – Spider-Man Homecoming
Definitely one of the better Avenger movies, and I would say it’s easily the best *Spider-Man* of the bunch. This is a much lighter film than its predecessors. There was laughter throughout the movie, with a few really hilarious moments. The acting was superb. Tom Holland, as the Spider-Man, was delightful. Michael Keaton (Vulture) brought…

Movie Review – Father Figures
—
Father Figures made me laugh out loud numerous times. I loved the amount of big names spread throughout the movie. Each one of them brought just a little more shine. This film finishes with a fairly heart-warming ending — it did surprise me. Right at the end, they turned this light comedy into something a…

Movie Review – Justice League (RunPee Dan’s POV)
I enjoyed the movie. Not a lot, but enough. There was some decent humor — most of which revolves around Barry Allen/Flash. The action/fight scenes were fine. A few awesome moments here and there. The actors all did a good job. I’d say Ezra Miller, as Flash, stood out as the best. Ray Fisher, as…

Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express
—
The beauty of this movie lies in the scenery and videography; definitely not in the story. I went in as one of those people who had heard of the story, but never read the book, nor watched any of the previous versions. I didn’t care for the investigation, the characters, or especially the outcome. The…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Thor: Ragnarok?
Yes, there are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Thor: Ragnarok. Anything Extra Details The initial credits are basic animated colored silhouettes of some of the scenes from the movie. There is a short, but good, scene after this. Then the main credits run, and afterward there is another short scene. The…

Movie Review: Thor 3 – Ragnarok (Dan’s POV)
Sometimes you leave the theater loving a movie, but after giving it a little thought it starts to diminish. Other movies don’t make an immediate impact, but after some thought, and rewatching, becomes a favorite. I think Thor: Ragnarok will be one of the few films that accomplishes both. I enjoyed the movie throughout, and…

Movie Review – Geostorm
—
The only reason I would give this movie a C- is because the production values are decent; otherwise this movie falls flat in every respect. The acting is forgettable. It’s hard to completely fault the actors, because the script they had to work with just doesn’t have any zing to it. The plot was ridiculous.…
