Movie Review – Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle
This sequel version of Jumanji is adorable and funny. Predictable, yes, but the story is based on a video game plot, so it’s kind of a baked-in thing. It’s also bit too pat in how each teenage character gets the perfect game avatar to grow as a person, but this is yet another thing that…

Movie Review – Father Figures
—
Father Figures made me laugh out loud numerous times. I loved the amount of big names spread throughout the movie. Each one of them brought just a little more shine. This film finishes with a fairly heart-warming ending — it did surprise me. Right at the end, they turned this light comedy into something a…

Movie Review – Pitch Perfect 3
—
Pitch Perfect 3 did not disappoint. These movies are always fun and totally crazy, just like the actors and actresses they cast. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson have fantastic chemistry together, and work the screen like it’s a catwalk. This third installment was a bit more action oriented, which I found refreshing. I think anyone…

Movie Review – The Last Jedi
It’s too soon to know how I feel about this latest installment to the Star Wars saga. A lot happens, at a brisk pace. We have fleeting introductions to a bunch of brand-new characters we never get to know; why they rounded up well-known actors for little more than extended cameos is beyond me. It’s…

All Star Wars Movies, ranked by personal watchablility. Now including Rise of Skywalker
What is rewatchability? It means I can put in a movie and watch it all the way through for fun, over and over and over again through the years. (This is different than having a movie on in the background while cleaning house or something…that’s another category). I want something to lift my spirits, which…

Movie Review: Thor 3 – Ragnorak (Jilly’s POV)
Thor 3, AKA Ragnarok, was incredibly engaging and hard to tear my eyes from. It’s now in my top tier of MCU movies, beaten only by the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Hemsworth’s slightly dim but mighty character is a joy, from his 4th wall-breaking open, to the mid-credit end, and the man’s got surprisingly…

Movie Review – Justice League (RunPee Jilly’s POV)
Now DC has its own cinematic universe. That’s fine: I won’t turn down good entertainment. I’m a geek through and through, and NEED my sci fi fix to sleep well at night. But DC has a history of being either 1. Disappointing, or 2. Really and Truly Grim. Contrast this to Marvel and the Avengers,…

Movie Review – Justice League (RunPee Dan’s POV)
I enjoyed the movie. Not a lot, but enough. There was some decent humor — most of which revolves around Barry Allen/Flash. The action/fight scenes were fine. A few awesome moments here and there. The actors all did a good job. I’d say Ezra Miller, as Flash, stood out as the best. Ray Fisher, as…

Movie Review – Daddy’s Home 2
—
It’s been almost 24 hours since I saw the movie and I’m still laughing. This was perhaps THE funny movie of the Christmas season. I am really curious how it was on the set. It looked like they had so much fun. This cast was stupendous. Each and every actor was great. I can’t single…

New Black Panther Trailer is Fantastic – Watch the Video Show Off Wakanda
I saw the new Black Panther trailer when I went to see Thor – Ragnarok, and it looks GORGEOUS. Sumptuous. Luxuriously detailed and kind of intense. Seriously, I could watch this preview all day. The Marvel Cinematic Universe sure knows how to create anticipation for their constellation of movies. It’s all about the story, and…
