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 – Wonder
—
This is a cute little film with an important message about acceptance, tolerance, compassion, and friendship. It doesn’t try too hard, and rocks along rather gently for almost two hours. Normally I cry a lot during sad movies, and at heartwarming movies too, but this one didn’t toss any low blows at us (except possibly…

Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express
—
The beauty of this movie lies in the scenery and videography; definitely not in the story. I went in as one of those people who had heard of the story, but never read the book, nor watched any of the previous versions. I didn’t care for the investigation, the characters, or especially the outcome. The…

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…

Movie Review – Let There Be Light
—
*Let There Be Light* was a gut wrenching movie to watch. The emotions oozed off the screen. I’m not a religious person, but I was moved to tears many times. I paid attention to the other people in the theater and saw that they were all on the same emotional roller coaster I was on.…

Movie Review: Thor 3 – Ragnarok (Dan’s POV)
Sometimes you leave the theater loving a movie, but after giving it a little thought it starts to diminish. Other movies don’t make an immediate impact, but after some thought, and rewatching, becomes a favorite. I think Thor: Ragnarok will be one of the few films that accomplishes both. I enjoyed the movie throughout, and…

Movie Review – Logan Lucky
—
If I was forced to describe this movie in one word, I’d choose deceiving. We walked into the theater expecting a slap-stick goofy comedy where everything that can go wrong does. Well, let me tell you, we were wrong. It is very funny, but not in a slap-stick kind of way — it was a…

Movie Review – The Hitman’s Bodyguard
—
*The Hitman’s Bodyguard* is really, really darn hysterical. The audience laughed out loud, frequently, as the relationship between Ryan Reynold’s and Samuel Jackson’s characters would ramp up, get deep, get ridiculous, and grow more affectionately abusive towards each other. There are car chases (many) and foot races (also, many)…but the heart of the movie is…
