Queen – You’re My Best Friend Video & Lyrics from Shaun of the Dead
The classic zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead features not one, but two Queen songs in their wonderfully amusing British zombie film from 2004. Don’t Stop Me Now is definitely the better showstopper, but You’re My Best Friend is a great end track. If you haven’t seen this fantastic movie (it’s not scary — I promise!)…

Everything is Awesome – Video and Lyrics to The Lego Movie Theme Song
Last Thursday, while I waited in my theater for “The Dog Movie” to start, I was thrilled to catch two cool trailers: one for a fresh new Men In Black sequel (with Chris Hemsworth!), and the newest Lego film, called, appropriately enough, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It also reminded me of that…

Virgin Movie Review – 21 Jump Street
21 Jump Street is a sweet little film that flew under my radar until last night. When my mother DVRed it (and subsequent sequel 22 Jump Street) to her TV for our movie night, I was confused. Wasn’t this a TV show? A cop procedural from the 80s? She promised me it was definitely a…

A Stomping Good Time at the Tournament – Video and Lyrics to We Will Rock You from A Knight’s Tale
When Brian May told his group members in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody he wanted the audience to be the instrument for one of their rock songs, I realized just how brilliant the rest of the band was: it’s not all about the immortal Freddie Mercury. All these men had something special, and the glorious anthem…

Why You Need to Care About Carol Danvers – Captain Marvel Facts and Film Updates
Have you noticed the Captain Marvel trailers dropping for the upcoming March 8, 2019 film, set within the (admittedly large and dense) Marvel Cinematic Universe? There’s a lot of speculation on who exactly Ms. Marvel is, how she’s going to fit into the Avengers ongoing storyline, why the movie will be set in the past,…

Don’t Stop Me Now – Video and Lyrics by Queen in Shaun of the Dead
I have two favorite funny zombie films, and alongside the awesome Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead is a near perfect zom-rom-com. (It’s also a great satire about modern man and modern life.) One of the best scenes features the Winchester Pub Team attacking the bar-owner-turned-zombie with pool cues, synchronized to the strains of the classic…

Dances with Gophers – Video & Lyrics to I’m Alright from Caddyshack
—
People have been asking about my morning playlist, and Kenny Loggins’ I’m Alright from the 1980 classic Caddyshack is one of the few songs that helps me wake up and feel ready to strap on another day. As my job and life centers around movies, my playlists tend to reflect the kind of songs that perfectly…

Greet the Morning with Groot – Mr. Blue Sky Video and Lyrics
One of the most memorable scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the opening credits, as the adorable Baby Groot dances to ELO’s hit song “Mr. Blue Sky.” What makes this scene so engaging is Groot’s complete obliviousness to his team mates-slash-parents’ danger as they fight a seriously deranged space monster. The Guardians…

Waking up to Deadpool – Lyrics and Opening Scene from Angel of the Morning
I’m not a morning person. That’s why I keep my Alexa unit close to the bed, so I can shake off the cobwebs by playing Juice Newtown’s Angel of the Morning. It’s a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies the gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine…

Making Models – the Jenny Haniver Airship from Mortal Engines
—
Mortal Engines has the best models and miniatures I’ve seen in a movie outside of the original Star Wars movies and the Lord of the Rings. This should come as no surprise, since Mortal Engines came from WETA Workshop, the same crew who designed The Lord of the Rings. Remember all those rolling cities…
