A Stomping Good Time at the Tournament – Video and Lyrics to We Will Rock You from A Knight’s Tale
When Brian May told his group members in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody he wanted the audience to be the instrument for one of their rock songs, I realized just how brilliant the rest of the band was: it’s not all about the immortal Freddie Mercury. All these men had something special, and the glorious anthem…

Don’t Stop Me Now – Video and Lyrics by Queen in Shaun of the Dead
I have two favorite funny zombie films, and alongside the awesome Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead is a near perfect zom-rom-com. (It’s also a great satire about modern man and modern life.) One of the best scenes features the Winchester Pub Team attacking the bar-owner-turned-zombie with pool cues, synchronized to the strains of the classic…

Dances with Gophers – Video & Lyrics to I’m Alright from Caddyshack
—
People have been asking about my morning playlist, and Kenny Loggins’ I’m Alright from the 1980 classic Caddyshack is one of the few songs that helps me wake up and feel ready to strap on another day. As my job and life centers around movies, my playlists tend to reflect the kind of songs that perfectly…

Movie Review – On the Basis of Sex
I’m a little overwhelmed by this absolutely breathtaking movie, and I don’t normally go for the historical dramas. Viewing On The Basis Of Sex I smiled, I cried, I cheered, and was honestly surprised at how great an experience this was. I’m shocked it’s still in limited release at this point. I expect it will…

Movie Review – Escape Room – Surprisingly Lively, Clever, and Fun
—
Escape Room is one of those simple little movies that caught me by surprise. I didn’t see any trailers for it, and it looked like a low-grade horror film from the poster. Not the genre I tend to enjoy; I didn’t have any expectations going in. Now I want to shout to everyone: SEE…

Greet the Morning with Groot – Mr. Blue Sky Video and Lyrics
One of the most memorable scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the opening credits, as the adorable Baby Groot dances to ELO’s hit song “Mr. Blue Sky.” What makes this scene so engaging is Groot’s complete obliviousness to his team mates-slash-parents’ danger as they fight a seriously deranged space monster. The Guardians…

Ring in the New Year With Harry and Sally
I know there’s more than one movie associated with New Year’s Eve besides When Harry Met Sally, but at the moment I can’t think of anything better. And on a re-watch, it still stands up beautifully through time. Ever meet someone you can’t stand at one point in your life, but grow on you through…

Waking up to Deadpool – Lyrics and Opening Scene from Angel of the Morning
I’m not a morning person. That’s why I keep my Alexa unit close to the bed, so I can shake off the cobwebs by playing Juice Newtown’s Angel of the Morning. It’s a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies the gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine…

Got Lice from Movies & Theater Seats? Steps To Get Rid of Your Lice
I wrote an article about how I, an adult avid movie-goer for RunPee.com, got a gross, itchy, rashy head of lice and nits from my local AMC movie theater. My theater is normally a spotless establishment, but since a lice epidemic has taken the nation, all I can say is: pests happen. People are turning…
