Christmas First View Review – An American Christmas Carol (1979)
Here we have an attempt to prove the ubiquity and relevance of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol by taking it from Victorian-era London and plonking it down in Depression-era Concord, New Hampshire. I don’t if there’s any significance in the location but the time has obviously been chosen as one of widespread poverty, debt, and hardship.…

Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I ask if Home Alone deserves…

What was the Merovingian ranting about in Matrix: Resurrections?
—
If you’ve seen Matrix: Resurrections you know that the scene with the Merovingian rant is partially undecipherable. Not only does he rant with a thick French accent, but there’s also a fight going on at the same time. Below is a copy of the closed captioning of his lines. I hope it helps. You? Oh! It…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of The Matrix Resurrections?
—
There are extras during the end credits of The Matrix Resurrections. At the very end of the credits is a 30 second extra scene. It’s snarky and doesn’t involve the plot or any main characters, or hopefully, anything to follow in The Matrix franchise. You won’t be missing anything if you skip it. The credits run for approximately…

Movie Review – The Matrix Resurrections
—
There’s so much to break down here. I’ll keep the review spoiler-free to begin with and give you a warning before I get into spoilers. I’m a huge Matrix fan. I’ve seen the trilogy, plus Animatrix, a number of times and just finished a complete rewatch of all 4 prior to Resurrections coming out today. Overall, I…

Vintage Christmas Film Short – Scrooge: Marley’s Ghost (1901)
Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start… Before I get going, here’s a thought for a series of articles. How about first-time viewings of wildly popular films that I haven’t seen? I say this because I’ve never actually seen The Sound Of Music, Saturday Night Fever, or Citizen Kane. Anyway,…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Sing 2?
—
There are extras during the end credits of Sing 2. During the 1st two minutes of the credits the song, “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” by Shawn Mendes plays, while some of the characters from the movie dance randomly. The credits run for approximately 8 minutes. [/wbcr_text_snippet] Read the RunPee movie review for Sing 2 by Jill Florio.…

Movie Review – The King’s Man
—
Let me start off by saying, this is an origin story for Kingsman, and it serves its purpose well. The origin story was mentioned briefly in the first Kingsman when Harry (Galahad) introduced Eggsy to the secret service. This movie fits that storyline and delivers it well and digs it deeper with the father-son relationship.…

Movie Review – Sing 2
Sing 2 is an ADORABLE movie with spectacular song and dance numbers, great animation, and a lot of heart and humor. The story is a fine follow-up to the lives of the animals well-loved from the original, with some cameos of minor roles in the first few minutes…so try not to be late. Where Sing 2 falls down…
