Movie Review – Cold Pursuit – Liam Neeson Does Action Right
—
If you like the Coen Brothers, you’ll love Cold Pursuit. This movie runs circles around Liam’s other ‘particular set of skills’ flicks. The well-placed humor that you usually see in the Coen films is refreshing, and sometimes really funny. Sure, we get plenty of head banging “shooting at point blank range” bloody snow scenes to…

Russian Doll Theme Song – Gotta Get Up Video & Lyrics (Netflix Does Groundhog Day)
Have you binged the new Netflix show Russian Doll? Season One is only eight episodes (a half hour each) long, and I snapped them up like candy all on one night. What makes that even better was I watched it on February 2, that oddball American holiday known as Groundhog Day. Used to be that…

Run Lola Run – A Rewind Review for a Rewind Loop Film
Even though I’ve only seen this movie one other time, it’s one of my favorites. There’s plenty to love about Lola. The premise is simple: Lola has twenty minutes to raise the money to save her boyfriend Manni’s life. Each failed attempt causes the clock to reset Groundhog Day-style. Except Lola doesn’t seem to remember…

Movie Review – Serenity
—
Serenity is one of those movies that you’ll either love, or really hate, or maybe a little bit of both. Not everyone will get this movie, so I’ll follow that statement up with this: you need to pay attention to the screen. There are visual clues and verbal clues, but they all have a…

Happy Death Day – All the Clues to the Killer (SPOILERS)
On first viewing, the twist in Happy Death Day seems to come from nowhere. But the filmmakers have played fair all along. If you watch it a second time, all the clues are there for an observant audience member to piece together what’s happening. (I’ve said it in the the title and this should be…

The Bourne Identity Song by Moby – Extreme Ways Lyrics and Video
Extreme Ways is one of the first songs I really noticed at the end of a film that I felt a need to go home and look up — it was that good, and that arresting. It haunted me the whole drive home after viewing The Bourne Identity and I became a big fan of…

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!)…
