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!)…

Movie Review – Glass
Glass is one of those movies the fans love and the rest of the world does not. My theater was packed with die-hard Shyamalan fans. There were laughs, and applause throughout the movie. I polled a few fans as they were leaving and it was unanimous; they loved it. And for that, I give the…

Movie Review – Escape Room – Surprisingly Lively, Clever, and Fun
—
Escape Room is one of those simple little movies that caught me by surprise. I didn’t see any trailers for it, and it looked like a low-grade horror film from the poster. Not the genre I tend to enjoy; I didn’t have any expectations going in. Now I want to shout to everyone: SEE…

Movie Review – Mortal Engines
I’m still digesting this pretty darn awesome movie. I’ll just say I’ve never seen a better Steampunk film (not that there’s a lot out there…). This has interesting characters, amazing world-building, and spectacular set-pieces. It’s a brilliant effort by the producers of The Lord of The Rings. I’m a happy girl tonight. Loved it.…

Movie Review – The Possession of Hannah Grace
—
Hollywood pulled off another movie that actually had me a little bit afraid. I’ll say I was very tense during some scenes. That sure doesn’t happen very often anymore. They did an incredible job of setting the tone of this horror flick. The ambiance was perfect; it kept you on the edge of your seat,…

Virgin Movie Review – 10 Cloverfield Lane
I hadn’t seen any of the films with Cloverfield in the title, not Cloverfield itself, or 10 Cloverfield Lane, nor the Cloverfield Paradox. I’m not clear if they’re even related to each other. Some sources say yes, but think it might indicate a anthology of unrelated trippy stories, like a movie analog to TV’s Twilight…

Movie Rewatch Review – Patriot Games
Patriot Games was always on my list of favorite films, up until some other good stuff came along (like the Harry Potter films, the Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, and even The Martian) to push it off my personal Top Ten List. Still, it’s a very fine movie. Really! The soundtrack and Enya crescendos…

Virgin Movie Review – Gone Girl (with Spoilers)
I feel physically unclean after seeing Gone Girl. Seriously. Please excuse me while I take a scalding shower…. Okay, I’m back. Very clean. HEY, past this point, there be SPOILERS in DETAIL about Gone Girl. I think I washed the stench of evil from my skin. Eeeeevil. E-VIL. The ‘girl’ is the scariest psychotic imaginable.[pullquote]…

Movie Review – The Girl in the Spider’s Web
It’s a sad fact: sometimes a good book can make a not so good movie. Such is the case of The Girl in the Spider’s Web. The pacing was frenetic, making the plot hard to follow. There were scenes that went by so quickly, I hardly had time to incorporate them into the movie…
