Movie Review – Alita: Battle Angel – Lighter, more Enjoyable than Ghost in the Shell
Alita: Battle Angel is a sort of YA version of Ghost in the Shell, and I’m not exactly thrilled to see the same thing re-done in so short a period of time. At least this one was more enjoyable, with better humor, more likable characters, and a universe that might be more interesting to…

Movie Review – Happy Death Day 2U – Still Fun, but more Sci-Fi than Horror
It’s interesting to watch a sequel film that genre-hoppingly morphs from one thing to another. I’m not a horror fan, but genuinely loved Happy Death Day 1, probably because it had an emphasis on comedy, and the actual scares were light. It was creepy still, with the “uncanny valley” baby mask — shudders —…

Main Song from A Star Is Born – Video and Lyrics from Shallow – by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
One of the top movie hits from 2018 is A Star is Born, starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and their best film song is Shallow, a duet that slays everyone who hears it. It’s almost a perfect song, and it won the awards to prove it: Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song Grammy…

In Da Club by 50 Cent – Video & Lyrics from the Happy Death Day 2U Trailer
Happy Death Day is the most funny and outright cute horror film I’ve ever seen. It’s not scary at all (although the school mascot baby mask is genuinely hideous to behold.) I can’t believe I waited this long to watch it the first time. I wanted to get caught up on my Groundhog Day themed…

Lego Movie 2 – Video and Lyrics to Everything’s Not Awesome
I was surprised how pleasantly musical the second official Lego movie was, with at least three, and perhaps four, really cheerily/moodily stand-out hits. The original Lego Movie only had the one notable Everything is Awesome tune. It was such an earworm that WB execs clearly decided to build on that base for the continuing adventures of…

The Lego Movie 2 – Super Cool Song by Beck (video and lyrics from the end credit scene)
One of the fun surprises about The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is how it became a full-blown musical ensemble, unlike in the three previous Lego films, which had only the one notable song (Everything is Awesome). In Lego 2, there was a moody reprise of Everything is (Not) Awesome, a show stopper bringing…

The Lego Movie 2 – Video and Lyrics to Not Evil (by Tiffany Haddish)
In a Lego Movie sequel full of big musical earworm hits, Tiffany Haddish managed to pull the house down with her showstopper Not Evil, as Queen Whatevra Wa’nabi explains that while she’s a completely totalitarian Duplo Queen, she’s honestly just sweet and loving, and completely misunderstood. (Also, her name makes meta sense if you say…

The Lego Movie 2 – Video and Lyrics to Catchy Song (This is song is gonna get stuck inside your head)
One thing the Lego movies do so well is serving up fun, fantasmic, and catchy super-chipper songs, guaranteed to take over your brain for days and nights without cease. Good for them, right? That’s a good viral marketing goal for Legos…but it’s a little hard on us, the viewer, trying to have mental peace. [pullquote]The…

Are the Four Lego Movies Sequels or Prequel Films?
As an adult, I’m surprised at how fun these Lego movies are. Are Legos considered kids’ toys? Or are Legos nostalgic and expensive boxed kits for adults who refuse grow up? Let’s take a look at how each Lego movie fits into the series so far. They all have adult humor mixed in with exciting…
