Movie Review – Redeeming Love
I went into this thinking it would just be work and that I’d watch Spider-Man: No Way Home again afterward for my reward. To my great surprise and pleasure, Redeeming Love is a wonderful film about the Wild West, the Gold Rush, and women’s agency. It’s never boring, the characters are well-drawn and acted, the costumes are perfection,…

Movie Review – Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania
A solid B movie in terms of animation values, high-quality celebrity voices, low-key warm humor, and a fun direction the plot spins off into. It’s damn hard to get a franchise right in every iteration, but somehow the under-the-radar work in the Hotel Translyvania oeuvre manages to make a good little story each time. They aren’t up…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania?
—
There are extras during the end credits of *Hotel Transylvania: Transformania*. The credits run for approximately 10 minutes. The first three minutes continue the story and gives us a nice tie-in to the quite good animated Hotel Translyvania TV show. The very last second showcases the kind of vulgar humor Adam Sandler is known for.…

MCU Disney+ Review – WandaVision
And here we go with the MCU’s dive into television. Incidentally, should it still be the MCU? Or should it now be the MCTVU? I guess that’s one of those questions which doesn’t require looking at too closely. Anyway, WandaVision is the first TV series from Marvel Studios and, also, the introduction to Phase Four,…

Non-Christmas Christmas Films: Home Alone 2 – Lost in New York (1992)
It’s another Christmas, a year later, and young Kevin is lost again. I’m not sure if there’s some intensely bad parenting involved, or if the kid just attracts trouble, but so it goes. It’s basically Die Hard 2, with a ten-year-old, and everyone in-universe pretty much knows it. “Not again” is the theme, which I…

Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I ask if Home Alone deserves…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Sing 2?

During the 1st two minutes of the credits the song, “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” by Shawn Mendes plays, while some of the characters from the movie dance randomly. The credits run for approximately 8 minutes. [/wbcr_text_snippet] Read the RunPee movie review for Sing 2 by Jill Florio.…

Movie Review – The King’s Man
—
Let me start off by saying, this is an origin story for Kingsman, and it serves its purpose well. The origin story was mentioned briefly in the first Kingsman when Harry (Galahad) introduced Eggsy to the secret service. This movie fits that storyline and delivers it well and digs it deeper with the father-son relationship.…

Movie Review – Sing 2
Sing 2 is an ADORABLE movie with spectacular song and dance numbers, great animation, and a lot of heart and humor. The story is a fine follow-up to the lives of the animals well-loved from the original, with some cameos of minor roles in the first few minutes…so try not to be late. Where Sing 2 falls down…
