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 – Judy
I was sitting in the theater watching Judy when I realized I’m the target audience. I grew up idolizing this gifted woman and was well aware of her continuous struggles to rid herself of the demons that seemed to dictate her life. So I feel most qualified to review this movie. When you see Renee…

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…

Movie Review – Brittany Runs a Marathon

Movie Review – Downton Abbey
—
At the premier, everyone in the audience clearly enjoyed themselves. A lot. People laughed so much I could barely get Peetimes. And the entire room was so sold out that I had to sit in the very front row, on the edge. All this is to say I need to see the film again. The…

Movie Review – Hustlers
—
I’m giving this movie an A for sure. I loved it. Watching these women do their thing was so much fun that I forgot I was working. All of the sudden a little thought popped into my head like, “Hey, aren’t you supposed to be watching for Peetimes?” So yeah, what they were doing was…

Video – Opening Scene to La La Land (that amazing traffic jam dance)
It’s no secret I’m not a big fan of La La Land (as in, the movie. The city of Los Angeles is fine.) Mostly I think La La Land is a bit silly and overly sentimental. It won a lot of awards, but I just didn’t love it. (Thankfully, I didn’t have to do the…

Rewatch Review – Dave (1993) … And A Few Notes about Post Scarcity & Star Trek
We should be so lucky to have a real life scenario where Dave, the movie, happens. I was delighted to re-catch the 1993 film last night… and finished off with a real smile on my face. Plus a positive attitude, and a lot of wish fulfillment. Watching again this was a great time and help…
