Movie Review – The Grudge
The Grudge didn’t impress me at all. It was a cool story but it was told all wrong. Before I get into everything I felt was wrong with it, my one compliment: there are chilling moments. A few times the hair on my neck stood up. It had potential. My biggest turn off was how…

Movie Review – 1917
—
I usually don’t watch war films, but I was so intrigued by the filming style that I decided to give 1917 a shot. I’m really glad that I did. I think movies these days add a lot of unnecessary dialogue and scenes to add drama. However, this movie did very little that took away from…

RunPee – Our 2109 Movie Review Rankings (and who was stuck with the worst films!)
$2,797,800,564 world wide. You can buy a lot of Infinity Peecoins with that. 2019 closed out a decade of movies, not so much with a bang, but with a snap. Avengers: Endgame was a tour de force that culminated a decade defined, both culturally and monetarily, by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Between 2010 and 2019…

The 6 Most Epic Lightsaber Fights in Star Wars (plus 3 that didn’t make the cut)
So many Star Wars movies. So many lightsaber and “lightsaber-adjacent” fight scenes over 42 years. Which saber duels are the best, the most visually stunning, or emotionally moving? I don’t know much about sword technique (<—- we wrote about that here) beyond endlessly watching Lord of the Rings or Xena: Warrior Princess, but I know…

The Force is dead. Long live the Force.
JJ Abrams and Lucas killed the Force by boxing it into their preconceived needs to tell a story they wanted to tell instead of letting the story tell itself.

Movie Review – Star Wars – Rise of Skywalker (spoiler free)
So. It’s done. After 42 years of buildup, the Star Wars Skywalker saga is over. I liked it! But I didn’t LOVE it. Which is okay, as all I wanted for Christmas was for Rise of Skywalker to not suck. So I can happily say that Director JJ Abrams did his best to undo the…
