Movie Review – Roma – Alfonso Cuaron and his Netflix Masterpiece
I decided to do a movie review of Roma for a couple of reasons. It’s not a widely-released in movie theaters in the US, and it will not be a part of the AMC Theaters Best Picture Showcase (#AMCBPS) despite being one of the eight nominated films for Best Picture. Why? From what I read,…

Quotes Quiz – Movies with Groundhogs Day Themes
A Groundhog Day Movie repeats the same day over and over (and over) until the main character gets it “right.” Basically the person trapped in the time loop needs to use science/magic (or something never actually explained) to ‘level up’ to the next day, and continue their lives. Seen any good movies like that? There’s…

Movie Review – The Kid Who Would Be King is Charming and Sweet
This character driven movie was about a half hour too long, and that’s the only negative thing I have to say about The Boy Who Would Be King. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It has all the ingredients needed to keep the audience of children entertained: out of control roots, things on fire,…

Movie Review – Serenity
—
Serenity is one of those movies that you’ll either love, or really hate, or maybe a little bit of both. Not everyone will get this movie, so I’ll follow that statement up with this: you need to pay attention to the screen. There are visual clues and verbal clues, but they all have a…

Happy Death Day – All the Clues to the Killer (SPOILERS)
On first viewing, the twist in Happy Death Day seems to come from nowhere. But the filmmakers have played fair all along. If you watch it a second time, all the clues are there for an observant audience member to piece together what’s happening. (I’ve said it in the the title and this should be…

The Bourne Identity Song by Moby – Extreme Ways Lyrics and Video
Extreme Ways is one of the first songs I really noticed at the end of a film that I felt a need to go home and look up — it was that good, and that arresting. It haunted me the whole drive home after viewing The Bourne Identity and I became a big fan of…

Rewatch Review – Mary Poppins – The Original & Classic Film
As we approach the Oscar season, I decided to rewatch the original Mary Poppins (MP). I’m certainly torn as to which one is better, considering that Mary Poppins Returns is not a remake; it’s a continuation of the Banks family drama. I love Julia Andrews and Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins. They both have a…

Virgin Review – 22 Jump Street (and that truly incredible end credits scene)
22 Jump Street seemed like it would continue the precedent set in 21 Jump Street (and we’re talking about the 2012 & 2014 movies, not the 1980s Johnny Depp TV show), and in one sense, it did. It took two young(ish)-looking cops and sent them undercover as kids. In 21, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s…

Queen – You’re My Best Friend Video & Lyrics from Shaun of the Dead
The classic zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead features not one, but two Queen songs in their wonderfully amusing British zombie film from 2004. Don’t Stop Me Now is definitely the better showstopper, but You’re My Best Friend is a great end track. If you haven’t seen this fantastic movie (it’s not scary — I promise!)…
