Virgin Review – Source Code
Source Code (2011) is based off yet another story by Philip K. Dick, always an excellent go-to for exciting mind-bending films about space, time, and supra-realities. Look at past movies mining P.K. Dick: Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, and Paycheck. I know I’m missing others, but the point is he’s a reliable “source” (ha!)…

Undercover Boss – A Star Wars Parody on SNL
Saturday Night Live has a lot of misses in these latter years of heyday’s past, but when they hit a home run, there’s still good to be found. One of my favorite SNL sketches has Adam Driver reprising his Star Wars role of Kylo Ren, the commander of Starkiller Base (from Star Wars: The Force Awakens),…

Quiz – How well do you know Queen’s music history?
—
I’ve tried to touch on most aspects of Queen’s career, but as prolific as this group was, it would take a quiz of a thousand questions to even come close to paying homage to this band‘s talents. [quiz-cat id=”11102″] I certainly enjoyed making this quiz and discovering that this band has a very rich history,…

Quiz – How well do you know Freddie Mercury?
Even though I included a few musical questions, I wanted this quiz to honor Freddie Mercury the man, not just the band Queen. [quiz-cat id=”11096″] It’s a shame that when most people hear the name Freddie Mercury, they think about how he died, rather than what a musical genius he was. I hope I’ve changed…

Quiz – Queen Elizabeth I
—
The story of Queen Elizabeth l is an inspiration for women determined to make their own path through life. She possessed strength, wisdom, and courage, something normally not often seen in women during the time of her reign. We’ve had a few movies over the years about Elizabeth, and those are worth rewatching to get…

Quiz – Queen Elizabeth l and Mary Queen of Scots
—
Just in time for the new movie, Mary Queen of Scots, this quiz addresses the relationship between Mary herself, and Queen Elizabeth l. Mary and Elizabeth were both powerful queens, ruling at the same time, it’s no wonder that there would be the occasional cat fight between these two monarchs. Good luck with this somewhat challenging…

Movie Review – The Sisters Brothers
—
When I saw this movie yesterday, I really disliked it. I thought I’d sleep on it and see where my mind was later. I still dislike it. Yes, it had an amazing cast. How can a movie with an ensemble like this not prove to be outstanding? I’m going to blame this on the writing.…

Movie Review – Halloween
What a movie! My long awaited excitement was finally satisfied! This was an event of epic proportions. Picture it: I walk into the theater, and it is sold out. The crowd was rowdy and ready for Michael. People were chanting, “Michael, Michael!” It was awesome. The lights went down and the theater became deathly quiet.…

Movie Review – Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer
—
I have to grade this movie the same way I grade animated films; by determining the target audience, and grading accordingly. Rotten Tomatoes audience score is at 98% as of this writing. So does this tell me most of the audience is made up of those who feel strongly about this issue, be it pro-choice…
