Movie Review – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
—
Review Coming soon. Grade: B About The Peetimes: I’ve got several excellent Peetimes, none of which will make you miss the main plotline. Fortunately, in the 1st Harry Potter movie there are several diversionary scenes that are easy to summarize. There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Harry Potter and…

Movie Review: A Star Wars Ewok Adventure – Caravan of Courage
Because I’m a masochist completist, I decided to watch everything Lucasfilm put out about Star Wars. Even if it sucks. I’ve got the atrocious yet fun Star Wars Holiday Special under my belt, plus The Battle for Endor (just bad bad bad), and now mockumentary Return of the Ewok (terrible production values, but enjoyable). RunPeep…

Movie Review – Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
—
What Birds of Prey lacks in story it makes up for — mostly — in humor and action. Margot Robbie single-handedly saves this movie from toilet of underachieving movies. And let’s face it, no one is going to see this movie for any other reason than Margot’s wickedly perfect personification of the pseudo protagonist —…

Star Trek The Next Generation – Playing Poker with Superheroes
I always wondered at the Bridge Crew of The Next Generation of the Enterprise blithely playing poker together. Even while Data says in Cause and Effect, “The cards are sufficiently randomized” (and actually, they aren’t in this case), that doesn’t mean a thing to the senior staff of the NCC-1701-D. Half of them are superheroes,…

Star Wars Mockumentary Movie Review – Return of the Ewok
I’ll start this mini-review saying Return of the Ewok is quite sweet, if you can get your hands on a copy — even the bad one currently up on YouTube. This fun little 25-minute mockumentary features Warwick Davis as himself and Wicket the Ewok (inserted Forrest Gump-like) into various scenes of Return of the Jedi.…

Star Trek does Groundhogs Day! The Next Generation Episode: Cause and Effect
What’s strange is that this episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation does a Groundhog Day theme a year before Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day movie comes into play. While there are a lot of GHD plots in various genre and film and TV shows, I think Star Trek’s might be first. Did they get the…

Star Wars – A Galaxy of Daddy Issues
Daddy issues. What would Star Wars be without them? And how many Star Wars movies center around this one big Oedipal question? I have to wonder about George Lucas’ extreme father fixation. Darth Vader even means ‘dark father’, which is a seriously big clue right off the bat. Daddy Issues are a huge thing in…
