We all like a bit of news, gossip, rumor, and speculation about movies! Now that it seems like the world is returning to normal after a terrible pandemic, there is a new fervor surrounding film and TV releases. Sometimes there just isn’t time to read long, flowing articles that speculate on what’s coming over the…

Best of British Biographies – Gary Oldman
Throughout this series of Best of Brit articles, there has been a relatively common theme; a lot of the people I’ve spoken about have spent some of their earlier years in one of the renowned theatrical training grounds such as the RSC, the National, or RADA. This chap is a bit different in that he…

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…

Movie Rewatch Review – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
My favorite of all the Harry Potter films — and books for that matter — this is just an A+ good time. If you like a quest-type adventure story, Goblet of Fire is a fine addition to the ranks of high fantasy. Unfortunately, I can’t speak for how well this tale holds together if you…

Everything wrong with Wonder Woman 1984 and suggestions to fix it
Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84) is an insult to storytelling. It’s popular to blame the writers and directors in cases like this, but I think it’s clear that the decision makers — asshats — at Warner Brothers are the real reason WW84 is so bad. There’s a great article over at ThePlaylist.com that goes…

A Godzilla Newbie Watches King of the Monsters
Having not seen any of the previous Godzilla movies, I’m not sure what I was expecting going in to see this 4th film. I had no notion what was coming, other than ‘large monsters destroying cities’. The beginning of the movie does a fair job filling the viewer in to what’s going on, but there…

All Modern Godzilla Movies, Ranked
I’m not a die-hard Godzilla fan, but I’ve gone on a bit of a giant lizard binge-watch lately. I’m happy to admit Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the best one yet. Not only did the big beasties get plenty of screentime, but the people plots didn’t entirely suck. People and entire cities can be…

The Matrix Trilogy After 20 Years – A Retrospective: Different Kind of Hero, New Kind of Science Fiction
The year was 1999 and all any sci-fi fan could think about was: finally, another Star Wars movie. Had Phantom Menace come out in the age of social media it would have been, well, pretty much what we’re seeing with Avengers: Endgame right now. But, I remember reading an article online — I don’t recall…
