Waking up to Deadpool – Lyrics and Opening Scene from Angel of the Morning

It’s a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies theย gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine…

โ
If you know anything at all about Dune, the grand brick-sized novel by Frank Herbert, you know there are gigantic, dangerous, and strangely helpful Sandworms featured in it.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – Live, in Concert
I love attending movie showings at venues that set a live orchestra to movie soundtracks. I’ve attended a few of the Harry Potter ones, most recently Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (one of the best Harry Potter films. IMO).

What is a Scaramouch? The Meaning Behind Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen
I love the song Bohemian Rhapsody, and sing it out loud with glee every time I go backpacking (in the woods, no one can hear you sing). But, I have to admit: I don’t understand a lot of the bizarre words in the song. With the new film about Queen, fittingly titled Bohemian Rhapsody, I…

Tears — check.ย Racing heart — check.ย Goose pimples — check.ย Foot stomping good fun — check.ย A deeper appreciation for a beloved musician and band — double check.

Did Rami Malek Sing In Bohemian Rhapsody?
If you’ve seen Bohemian Rhapsody,ย you may be wondering if you’re hearing Rami Malek’s voice during the musical numbers. The answer is a little bit “yes” and a little bit “no.” As amazing as Malek’s voice is, we’re talking about duplicating Freddie Mercury here. No small feat. There’s no shame in being one of a chorus…
