Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – Riders Of Justice/Retfærdighedens Ryttere (2020)
—
Sometimes you review a film because it’s just being released. Another time you’ll review a film because it’s part of a season or a theme. And then there’ll be times when you want to review a film for other reasons. Riders Of Justice or Retfærdighedens Ryttere falls into the latter category. I have to admit…

Movie Review – The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021)
I don’t think there is anyone out there who is unaware of William Shakespeare. You might not have actually been to a theatre to see a production but, paradoxically, that isn’t the only place to see Shakespeare’s words being performed. I don’t think it’s over pushing the point to say that most people haven’t necessarily…

Holy bladder-bursters Batman, your new film is almost 3 hours long

Star-Wars: A Movie Journey from Primitive Technological Si-Fi to the Contemporary Genre
—
Image Credits The brainchild of George Lucas and perhaps one of his finest achievements, The Star Wars media franchise is a grand space opera of epic proportions. From its humble beginnings to larger-than-life influence, there is no doubt that the saga exerts an intense and overwhelming impact on pop culture. The films alone by themselves…

Movie Review – Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania
A solid B movie in terms of animation values, high-quality celebrity voices, low-key warm humor, and a fun direction the plot spins off into. It’s damn hard to get a franchise right in every iteration, but somehow the under-the-radar work in the Hotel Translyvania oeuvre manages to make a good little story each time. They aren’t up…

MCU Disney+ Review – WandaVision
And here we go with the MCU’s dive into television. Incidentally, should it still be the MCU? Or should it now be the MCTVU? I guess that’s one of those questions which doesn’t require looking at too closely. Anyway, WandaVision is the first TV series from Marvel Studios and, also, the introduction to Phase Four,…

Spider-Man Peeple’s Poll results over time
Spider-Man: No Way Home is, as of writing, the most popular movie ever in our Peeple’s Poll (92.6)—just barely squeaking past Avengers: Endgame (92.2). Something I was curious about is how the movie’s rating would change over time. Here is the After Movie Rating for Spider-Man: No Way Home, broken down by day. The range of the…

Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I ask if Home Alone deserves…

Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Christmas In Connecticut (1945)
I’ll admit that this was a total surprise. As is rapidly becoming traditional, here in RunPee Towers, this time of year means that there are Christmas films to be watched. We do try and get other themes going for other holidays but, as a lot of them are unheard of outside of the USA, I…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home?
There are extras during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home. There are two extra scenes. The first begins about 2 1/2 minutes into the credits and lasts about 1 1/2 minutes. There’s a 7-minute wait until the second extra scene comes after the end credits. It’s honestly not an extra scene but more of…
