Are We Sure These Wick Movies Aren’t Another Version Of The Matrix?
—
I’ve gotta say, I disagree with RunPee Dan’s John Wick 3 review on Parabellum. Some of what he says holds true with the choreography and perhaps the length of the film. But I didn’t get bored with the action. Very light, vague John Wick Parabellum spoilers lie ahead… The end of the second Wick movie…

Movie Review – A Dog’s Journey – Manipulatively Emotional, But The Least Heart-Rending of the Dog Trilogy
I’m relieved to say this heartrending three-movie schmaltz-fest is over. I did the Peetimes for each movie in the semi-trilogy, and was relieved that A Dog’s Journey made me cry the least. By which I mean I cried only three or four times, and these were little teary moments, not the big gulping ugly cries…

Movie Review – John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum (Not as good as the first two)
I loved the first two John Wick movies, especially the first, which really brought new life to the action genre. But I found myself getting bored by the monotonous action in John Wick Parabellum. I think the movie might have been better if it had been a little shorter. Many of the fight seems felt…

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Does It Better than The Hustle – A Rewatch Review
Although Dirty Rotten Scoundrels came out 30 years ago, it’s still the movie to beat when compared with the 2019 female-led remake The Hustle. Starring Steve Martin, Michael Cain, and Glenne Headley (who died last year — RIP), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels provides a witty journey with a pair of cons who are as likely to…

Is Godzilla: King of the Monsters a Sequel to Kong: Skull Island?
The trailers for the new Godzilla movie have been amazing, but the marketing campaign isn’t the clearest. What’s there to know besides the fact that awesome-looking monsters are going to destroy things for our entertainment? For the true movie lover? Plenty. Here are the connections they aren’t advertising. There’s a Monster Universe. Legendary Pictures…

Endgame Peetimes – RunPee vs the World
The 3+ hour run-time of Avengers: Endgame inspired numerous sites to publish their own Peetimes for the massively long and greatly-anticipated movie. In a three hour span, most people will feel their bladders calling, and it’s better to know when to go, than sit there squirming, unable to enjoy a great film. Here’s my experienced…

Movie Review – Tolkien – Biography of the Master of Middle Earth
I don’t normally watch biographies. We don’t usually get Peetimes for them either, but this was TOLKIEN. The author of my favorite novel, movie, and world: The Lord of the Rings. So it wasn’t just any biopic to me, and Tolkien wasn’t just any author. Lord of the Rings (or LOTR) is a magnificent 1000+…

Avengers: Endgame – What was that hammer sound in the credits?
Did you stay to the very bitter end of Endgame? There’s some speculation about what that hammer sound was at the end of the credits in Avengers: Endgame. Is it something we’ll find out in an upcoming movie? Could be. But that hammering-on-metal audio clip sure does sound a lot like this scene from Iron…
