Movie Review – Black and Blue
—
This movie pokes at your value system quite a bit. Most of us are all too familiar with stories about dirty cops. This story is no different, but how it plays out onscreen is rather appealing because of Tyrese Gibson, Naomie Harris, Mike Colter, and of course, the city of Katrina recovering in New Orleans.…

Movie Review by RunPee Rob – Terminator: Dark Fate
I went into this film with mixed feelings. The original landed in the mid 80s with barely a ripple. A relatively small budget film by a new director, with not a well known cast. But it took off. The early 90s saw T2 launched with a lot of ballyhoo and fuss — and it worked!…

In Defense of Terminator 3
Terminator: Dark Fate opens this week. It’s the sixth movie in the Terminator franchise. However, it is the official sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day…which basically invalidates Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, one of my favorite entries in the entire franchise. Billy Crystal once joked that Arnold Schwarzenegger signed on to make Terminator 3…

Movie Review – Zombieland: Double Tap
Zombieland: Double Tap wasn’t great, but it was better than I expected and certainly satisfying. I’m happy to say that Double Tap avoids the typical disappointment from sequels that were added on to a successful movie as a money grab. #ZL2 has the same charm and wit as the original. I’m not saying it was…

Movie Review – Gemini Man
—
Nothing amazing, nothing awful. This is a stylish little film where every actor gives it their all and makes a nice 2 hour action excursion. Here’s a Pro-Tip for audiences: wait for this to come out on streaming. While old and young Will Smith both look great ( I suspect they aged up one…

What are the Rules for Zombieland?
Here are the rules presented on the big screen in 2009’s Zombieland, one of the two greatest Rom-Com-Zom movies ever made. (Just so you don’t have to guess, the other is Shaun of the Dead.) With Zombieland 2: Double Tap coming out, RunPee thought a refresher on zombie survival rules was in order. Can you…

Best Zombie Movies Ever
Zombieland 2: Double Tap opens this week and I have a feeling I’m not the only one hungry for Twinkies. It’s been ten years since the first Zombieland and if the sequel does well, they’re talking about making a third one in another ten years. In case you need more zombie goodness to tide you…

Movie Review – Joker
—
I have a feeling a lot of people will really like this Joker movie. Personally, I don’t understand how this film can even come close to the MCU and their best films. It’s not funny at all, like EVER, and doesn’t involve any of the Justice League members. I have to admit that we’ve had…

The Essential Will Smith
Gemini Man opens October 11. The name Will Smith has become synonymous with sci-fi action films. Smith has had a long and varied career, even if his genre roles are my favorite. I’ve been a fan of his since I was a kid. Somewhere I have a Soundtracks cassette of eight-year-old me rapping (or…

Best Superhero Movies That Were Never Made
Todd Philips’ controversial new film Joker opens this week. It’s kind of amazing that a character piece with no connection to the DC Universe and no Batman in sight got the green light. Many other movies aren’t so lucky. Even movies with major talent attached to them. Here’s a look at some superhero movies that…
