RIP Mjölnir – Who Can Lift Thor’s Hammer?
Who could pick up Mjölnir, beloved Hammer of Thor, God of Thunder? Who is considered worthy? What does worthy even mean in this context? This topic is no longer relevant, post-Infinity War, but the immensity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe lends itself to fun lists. So…who besides Thor was able to wield the late, sorely-missed hammer?…

10 Ways Ant Man Could Escape the Quantum Realm
Spoilers for Infinity War, and of course Ant Man & the Wasp…don’t bother reading if you haven’t seen those two movies. This will all be gibberish to you anyway if you’re not up to date. Onward… So, that ending in Ant Man 2. It’s nice that Scott Lang finally has a superhero partner, and an…

Movie Review – Alpha
—
Alpha blew me away. This movie was amazing. There are a ton of points I want to make, but I’m going to hit upon the ones that I think may sway your decision to go see it, otherwise we’ll be here all day. First up, there is violence against animals. If this bothers you, it…

Movie Review – Mile 22
—
Mile 22 fails on every level that an action movie can fail, and then makes up some new ways to fail. But wait, there’s good news: the Russian government is the bad guys again. Yeah! (More on that later.) This entire movie feels like the first 30 minutes of a much better movie. Meaning: they…

Movie Review – The Meg
I’m mulling over The Meg. It was a ton (er, rather, several tons) of fun, but after having viewed the original Jaws this week, my expectations are a bit high. I also have high expectations for movies with dinosaurs and other ‘real’ animals (as opposed to ‘monsters’). Megalodon was a real shark, and an ancient…

Best Quotes from Jaws
The 1975 Jaws is a 2 hour one liner machine. Besides being a nearly perfect film, it’s infinitely quotable. Here are some starters – you add the rest: You’re gonna need a bigger boat. I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you…

Does it get better than this? Sooooo simple. Sooooo scary. Is there anything else in the soundtrack worth noting? Because I really can’t recall. This is iconography at its first and best. Short, fun, thrilling: Always gives me the chills! Here’s the icoinc scene with that one liner that’s good for so many real-life applications:…

Movie Rewatch – Jaws – Still A Fantastic Blockbuster
This movie still blows me away (not unlike the way a certain 25-foot Great White got blown) and I am super surprised. I knew it was good, but I didn’t remember it being THIS good. Like A+ level good. Steven Spielberg, while young, was already on his game. It’s hard to hold the title of…

Meet the Real Megalodon
Megalodon, meaning big tooth, is an extinct species of shark that lived approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago. For reference, the age of dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era) was 245-66 million years ago — so, 43 million years separated megalodon from the dinosaurs. It’s a fish, not a dinosaur, for your distinction. Just a mega-sized one.…
