The Bourne Identity Song by Moby – Extreme Ways Lyrics and Video
Extreme Ways is one of the first songs I really noticed at the end of a film that I felt a need to go home and look up — it was that good, and that arresting. It haunted me the whole drive home after viewing The Bourne Identity and I became a big fan of…

Virgin Review – 22 Jump Street (and that truly incredible end credits scene)
22 Jump Street seemed like it would continue the precedent set in 21 Jump Street (and we’re talking about the 2012 & 2014 movies, not the 1980s Johnny Depp TV show), and in one sense, it did. It took two young(ish)-looking cops and sent them undercover as kids. In 21, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s…

Queen – You’re My Best Friend Video & Lyrics from Shaun of the Dead
The classic zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead features not one, but two Queen songs in their wonderfully amusing British zombie film from 2004. Don’t Stop Me Now is definitely the better showstopper, but You’re My Best Friend is a great end track. If you haven’t seen this fantastic movie (it’s not scary — I promise!)…

Edge of Tomorrow – Lyrics and Video to Love Me Again – A Kickin’ Action GroundHog Day Themed Movie
Live. Die. Repeat. A lot of people know Edge of Tomorrow only by the above tagline, and they’re not far wrong: this Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt adventure slash sci-fi slash action flick ticks every box of awesomeness anyone could want for an evening of movie fun. It doesn’t hurt that Cruise and Blunt know…

Theme Song from Flash Gordon – Queen Video & Lyrics
FLASH! Ah-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Okay, you probably know this strange little song, even if you’re too young to have ever seen Flash Gordon on the big screen. (I’m actually too young to remember if I did or not, but this isn’t the point.) The point is that Queen was so versatile they could create hugely memorable tracks…

Everything is Awesome – Video and Lyrics to The Lego Movie Theme Song
Last Thursday, while I waited in my theater for “The Dog Movie” to start, I was thrilled to catch two cool trailers: one for a fresh new Men In Black sequel (with Chris Hemsworth!), and the newest Lego film, called, appropriately enough, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It also reminded me of that…

Virgin Movie Review – 21 Jump Street
21 Jump Street is a sweet little film that flew under my radar until last night. When my mother DVRed it (and subsequent sequel 22 Jump Street) to her TV for our movie night, I was confused. Wasn’t this a TV show? A cop procedural from the 80s? She promised me it was definitely a…

Lose Yourself – Video & Lyrics from the Eminem Movie 8 Mile
—
Have you heard the young adult rap anthem Lose Yourself, from Emimen’s featured movie 8 Mile? This is an interesting song, with a clear appeal to a lot of people trying to make a name for themselves in life. Can we find something that’s uniquely ours, something to stand ourselves apart from the crowd? [pullquote]Listening…

Is A Dog’s Way Home a Sequel to A Dog’s Purpose?
Well, is it a sequel? Yes. And no. It’s also kind of a remake. I’ll get to that in a minute. A Dog’s Way Home and A Dog’s Purpose, both written by W. Bruce Cameron, are intended as the first two parts in a “shared universe” dog trilogy. This is slated to culminate in A Dog’s Journey later…

Movie Review – A Dog’s Way Home – A Harrowing Experience for Dog Lovers
A solid B film where I ugly-cried six times, including within the opening three minutes. That’s got to be some kind of record. I wrote down how many times I cried as I jotted down notes for Peetimes (and my male companion cried three times, so it’s not just a girl thing). In any…
