Patrick Stewart has dominated the sci-fi genre for decades and there’s still more to come from this genius. How much do you know about his film career? I’ll describe the plot; you guess the movie. [quiz-cat id=”13588″] I thoroughly enjoyed making this quiz for the fans of Mr. Stewart. If you had fun with it, why…

A Real History – Mary Queen of Scots vs Queen Elizabeth I Timeline (And it’s NOT like we saw in the movies)
Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room: did Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots ever meet face to face? No. No, they didn’t! And whose fault was that? The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Elizabeth. Take a look at the following timeline, and maybe you’ll see what I saw: Mary had…

Is A Dog’s Way Home a Sequel to A Dog’s Purpose?
Well, is it a sequel? Yes. And no. It’s also kind of a remake. I’ll get to that in a minute. A Dog’s Way Home and A Dog’s Purpose, both written by W. Bruce Cameron, are intended as the first two parts in a “shared universe” dog trilogy. This is slated to culminate in A Dog’s Journey later…

Movie Review – A Dog’s Way Home – A Harrowing Experience for Dog Lovers
A solid B film where I ugly-cried six times, including within the opening three minutes. That’s got to be some kind of record. I wrote down how many times I cried as I jotted down notes for Peetimes (and my male companion cried three times, so it’s not just a girl thing). In any…

Movie Review – The Upside
The Upside was a mixture of heart and humor. (Pun intended.) Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston were superb together. The dynamics that developed between the two characters were so well acted that I didn’t want the movie to end. I just wanted to keep seeing these two guys growing and learning together. The laughs don’t…

A Stomping Good Time at the Tournament – Video and Lyrics to We Will Rock You from A Knight’s Tale
When Brian May told his group members in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody he wanted the audience to be the instrument for one of their rock songs, I realized just how brilliant the rest of the band was: it’s not all about the immortal Freddie Mercury. All these men had something special, and the glorious anthem…

Why You Need to Care About Carol Danvers – Captain Marvel Facts and Film Updates
Have you noticed the Captain Marvel trailers dropping for the upcoming March 8, 2019 film, set within the (admittedly large and dense) Marvel Cinematic Universe? There’s a lot of speculation on who exactly Ms. Marvel is, how she’s going to fit into the Avengers ongoing storyline, why the movie will be set in the past,…

Don’t Stop Me Now – Video and Lyrics by Queen in Shaun of the Dead
I have two favorite funny zombie films, and alongside the awesome Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead is a near perfect zom-rom-com. (It’s also a great satire about modern man and modern life.) One of the best scenes features the Winchester Pub Team attacking the bar-owner-turned-zombie with pool cues, synchronized to the strains of the classic…

Movie Review – Replicas
There are two movies coming out this week about dogs. One is A Dog’s Way Home. The other is Replicas, which has no dogs in it, but it is a dog. Question: why does the saying, “This movie is a dog,” imply that a movie is bad, yet we also know this one: “A dog is…
