Alternate Avengers 2 & 3 story
[Note: this is an alternate plot to the Ultron/Thanos storyline; a different version of Avengers 2 and 3. Play along! However, I wouldn’t suggest reading this until after you have seen Infinity War, or it won’t make sense.] So. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Infinity War (Avengers 3). Even though it left me numb from the action and…

Movie Review – Avengers Infinity War – An Unrivaled Marvel Epic
I have to hand it to the MCU creative team. They delivered an epic. Step back and think about that for a second. The lead up to this movie was 10 years in the making; it has a cast of characters that sprawls for pages, yet we know every one of them better than we…

Mark Ruffalo Sneaks in a Hulk Movie
We’ve had two prior Hulk movies no one was happy with, and then Avengers rolled around. [pullquote position=”right”]Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk was the one we’ve been waiting for, gifting us with a charming, quietly surprising underdog in his version of Bruce Banner.[/pullquote] His friendship with Tony Stark enchanted, matching Robert Downy Jr.’s alpha male character unassumingly,…

Best Movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Up to Thor: Ragnarok)
Here’s RunPee Jilly’s list of the best-to-worst films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since so many of these movies are good, and there are so many of them, I’ve chosen to rank the films by “tier”. Top Tier, Middle Tier, and Bottom Tier. (And one that is simply Bad.) I’m not going to stress over…

MCU Movie Rewatch – Thor 2: The Dark World
I was surprised at how easy Thor 2 was to re-watch. I remember it as “the boring installment.” It’s still not exciting on the level of the top tier of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers, Civil War, Black Panther and Thor’s own 3 – Ragnarok). Making myself even more clear, The Dark World…

Movie Review – Pacific Rim: Uprising
I loved the first Pacific Rim. (PR1) Okay, to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about it right off the bat, but it did grow on me. I’ve probably rewatched it a dozen times, here and there, over the years. It’s a great movie to have on in the background while working. Obviously, I was really…

Movie Review – Solo: A Star Wars Story
I’m certainly not disappointed. I think this one was better than the other new Star Wars movies, except for Rogue One. I’m impressed that they managed to hit all of the important back story elements to Han’s character, without it feeling forced or cheesy. My only complaint is that the story dragged on a bit,…

Movie review: Tomb Raider
This movie follows the textbook outline for Writing Action Movies for DUMMIES perfectly. I’m not trying to imply that Tomb Raider was horrible — it’s just incredibly predictable. That’s why the “C” grade I gave it is smack in the middle of average. It’s important to remember: this is a story that began as a video game.…
