How I Came To Love Guardians Of The Galaxy
There are certain films that hook you from the very first time you see the poster, let alone the trailer, and there are those that you really struggle to see why they bothered. For me that spectrum ran from “Leon” (BIG fan of Luc Besson) down to “Dangerous Liaisons,” which I’ve sat in front of…

Watching Outbreak in the time of CoVid-19
I recently rewatched the 1994 disaster film Outbreak, because 1. I always loved that movie, 2. kind of dig diseases (I like science, okay?), and 3. there’s a real global pandemic happening right now. You’ve probably heard about that. Also, 4. I needed to get Peetimes for Outbreak, because I’m not the only person currently…

A Return to Americana – Drive In Movie Theaters Are Back in Style
With every movie theater closed in America because of the deadly Co-Vid-19 outbreak, a bit of 1950s style Americana is back in vogue. People are heading back to drive-in theaters, where they can watch a double feature from the comfort and socially distanced safety of their cars. Everyone stuck in quarantine can now enjoy blockbusters,…

Movie Review – Ingrid Goes West
—
Ingrid Goes West could have taken the path of becoming a nasty, bloody horror flick. All the ingredients are there: a mentally disturbed antagonist (Ingrid), a somewhat naive protagonist (Taylor), a hapless boyfriend (Dan), and a whole gaggle of mean girls. Instead, we’re given a dark dramedy, full of raw emotion. This is not a…

Movie Review – Operation Finale
—
Let me start off by saying I’m not into historical movies. I prefer to walk into a theater and be amused or scared for a couple of hours. If I wanted to learn about a specific historical event, I’d pick up a book and read about it. That’s why Runpee Dan usually doesn’t send me…

Maybe you forgot, but the Mission: Impossible movies offer some solid entertainment that ranges from decent to awesome, with one exception for MI:II.

Movie Review – Emma.
Fans of Jane Austen are going to enjoy this latest big screen production of her novel, Emma. Even though Ms. Austin’s writing provides for a fun two hours of witty dialog, it’s the magnificent visual impact of the English countryside with its equally magnificent manors that takes Emma. from a B rating to an A.…

Movie Review – Misbehaviour
—
Misbehaviour joins the growing list of films I remember actually happening in real life! This took me back to England in the 70s. The clothing fashions were spot-on and the interior decor was eye-achingly accurate! Back in 1970 I was a thirteen year old with a normal teenager’s interest in the opposite sex, but even…

Movie Review – I Still Believe
—
This movie hit all the notes you would expect given its genre. There’s no doubt that it will be a crowd-pleaser. The actors did a fantastic job of delivering heartfelt and sincere dialog: that was well written. There’s really not much point in saying anything else. Grade: B About The Peetimes: The middle Peetime is…

Movie Review – The Hunt
—
I haven’t had this much fun at a movie in a long time. From the beginning, right up to the final line, The Hunt was filled with amazing characters that had such screen presence it oozed off the screen onto the audience. My theater really enjoyed this film. You know those moments where people talk…
