Marvel Cinematic Universe will release four movies in last five months of 2021
It feels like we’re rounding the corner from the effects of COVID19, and if the vaccinations can outpace the variants then maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a normal second half of 2021. I’m sure that’s what movie lovers, and especially movie theaters, are hoping for. And the MCU is certainly going all in on a return…

Movie Review – Boss Level (2021’s Groundhog Day Loop film)
As the queen of Groundhog Day (GHD) time loop movies, of course I viewed and reviewed Boss Level. It’s only viewable on Hulu. This is too bad, because in a normal (ie, not CoVid year) this would be a crowd-pleasing blockbuster on the big screen. Seriously, Boss Level is a fantastic actioner that’s more comedic…

And the 2021 Oscar Nominees are…
It’s been a harsh year for movies. The pandemic closed down movie theaters. There are many that have yet to reopen. The pandemic also cut short the theatrical runs of films like Emma. Most major films moved their release dates to 2021 or beyond. Some films like Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch remain in limbo…

A Take 2 Movie Review – Flesh Is Heir To
Recently, our UK RunPee reviewer Rob Williams reviewed this movie. The movie studio complained, so we decided to give it another look. I offered to watch it to give a counterpoint review. However, I didn’t enjoy the movie any more than he did. (Note: I have not yet read his review so as not…

Movie Review – Voyagers (2021)
—
Voyagers was a decent movie. It was very predictable but there were such strong performances given, I will overlook that. Namely Tye Sheridan. I’ve seen him in multiple roles now and there is just something about him that I like. I hope to see him go far with his career. There was a ton of…

10 Movies About Authors That Will Inspire You To Write
There’s a reason good movies about authors aren’t common; while their creations can be an awe-inspiring journey into fantastical lands or a hard look into fictitious or non-fictitious pasts, the process itself lacks the excitement big screen productions need to succeed. The anger and frustration of producing written works is internalised and difficult to express,…

Sundance Film Festival Movie Review – One for the Road
When Bong Joon Ho won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film last year for Parasite, he said, “”Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” I love this sentiment. As a teenager, I was lucky to have a mother willing to take me…

Star Trek Movies and the Bechdel Test — How do they stand up after all this time?
I wrote an article on how the Star Wars films stood up to the Bechdel Test, which is a simple measurement to determine whether any named female characters have a conversation about something other than men. This is not a stance for feminist debate so much as an observation. For what it’s worth, lets dive…
