- The Lego Movie 2 – Video and Lyrics to Catchy Song (This is song is gonna get stuck inside your head)One thing the Lego movies do so well is serving up fun, fantasmic, and catchy super-chipper songs, guaranteed to take over your brain for days and nights without cease. Good for them, right? That’s a good viral marketing goal for Legos…but it’s a little hard on us, the viewer, trying ...
- Movie Review – The Lego Movie 2: The Second PartWhat a charming, amusing, engaging, but ultimately fluffy bit of fun The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is. It’s right up there with the enjoyment level of the original Lego film and The Lego Batman Movie, although perhaps a little less sensibly told, narratively, than either. The story rambles all over ...
- Lego Movie 2 Holiday Short – Christmas is AwesomeI somehow missed this little video treat over the holidays, and maybe you did too. On the eve of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, it’s worth taking a peek at this short Christmas one-off taking place in the apocalyptic ruins of Bricksburg and the Lego Movie crew (including ...
- Russian Doll is the newest Netflix Addition to the Groundhog Day Loop Theme – and it looks GREATRunPeep Shani pointed out that Russian Doll, a new Netflix show, has a Groundhog Day theme. From the trailers it looks like a funny cross between Happy Death Day (sequel coming Feb 14 this year), and the original Murray’s Groundhog Classic. I’m in! We think Shani Olgive will do a binge ...
- Run Lola Run – A Rewind Review for a Rewind Loop FilmEven though I’ve only seen this movie one other time, it’s one of my favorites. There’s plenty to love about Lola. The premise is simple: Lola has twenty minutes to raise the money to save her boyfriend Manni’s life. Each failed attempt causes the clock to reset Groundhog Day-style. Except ...
- Happy Death Day – Every “Day” We Watch, and Rewatch (Spoilers)In the movie Happy Death Day, Tree is murdered on her birthday. Instead of dying, she wakes up and has to relive the day all over again. Tree relives the same day (and gets murdered) seventeen times. (We only see eleven of the murders because a montage is used to ...
- Quotes Quiz – Movies with Groundhogs Day ThemesA Groundhog Day Movie repeats the same day over and over (and over) until the main character gets it “right.” Basically the person trapped in the time loop needs to use science/magic (or something never actually explained) to ‘level up’ to the next day, and continue their lives. Seen any good ...
- Happy Death Day – All the Clues to the Killer (SPOILERS)On first viewing, the twist in Happy Death Day seems to come from nowhere. But the filmmakers have played fair all along. If you watch it a second time, all the clues are there for an observant audience member to piece together what’s happening. (I’ve said it in the the ...
- Queen – You’re My Best Friend Video & Lyrics from Shaun of the DeadThe 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 ...
- Edge of Tomorrow – Lyrics and Video to Love Me Again – A Kickin’ Action GroundHog Day Themed MovieLive. Die. Repeat. A lot of people know Edge of Tomorrow only by the above tagline, and they’re not far wrong: this Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt adventure slash sci-fi slash action flick ticks every box of awesomeness anyone could want for an evening of movie fun. It doesn’t hurt that ...
- Don’t Stop Me Now – Video and Lyrics by Queen in Shaun of the DeadI 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 ...
- Movie Review – Escape Room – Surprisingly Lively, Clever, and FunEscape Room is one of those simple little movies that caught me by surprise. I didn’t see any trailers for it, and it looked like a low-grade horror film from the poster. Not the genre I tend to enjoy; I didn’t have any expectations going in. Now I want to shout ...
- Quiz – ZombielandWho doesn’t love this classic zom-rom-com film with an ideal cast, a perfect cameo, and massive zombie shootouts? This one keeps me laughing, over and over again! Do you recall some of mottoes to live by in Zombieland?
- Making Models – the Jenny Haniver Airship from Mortal EnginesMortal 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 ...
- Is Bumblebee a prequel or a reboot?Prequel or reboot. Or, soft-reboot — whatever that is. Just where does Bumblebee fit in the Transformers universe? Officially, Bumblebee is a prequel, set in 1987. But when you watch the movie you better wear your best retcon glasses, because there’s a lot that just can’t fit with the story we already ...
- Best Non-Christmas Christmas MoviesWhat is a non-Christmas Christmas movie, you ask? I’m happy to explain. It’s a story that takes place over the holiday season but isn’t a Christmas film. The plot isn’t about Santa, reindeer, snowmen, elves, Scroogey Grinches, or magical stockings. Christmas might help the plot along, but these movies stake ...
- Movie Review – Mortal EnginesI’m still digesting this pretty darn awesome movie. I’ll just say I’ve never seen a better Steampunk film (not that there’s a lot out there…). This has interesting characters, amazing world-building, and spectacular set-pieces. It’s a brilliant effort by the producers of The Lord of The Rings. I’m a happy ...
- Virgin Movie Review – Planet of the Apes (2001)Who knew Tim Burton could direct a grand scale epic adventure? I always thought his specialty was weirdos doing wacky things. But I was surprised and pleased with how much I enjoyed this 2001 version of Planet of the Apes, especially since I’m not impressed with the more recent trilogy. I ...
- Dune – What is the Litany Against Fear (and why should we care)?Can an old science fiction book from the 60s offer modern man any surfeit from pain? Do we allow fears — both great and small — to rule our lives? Can we train ourselves to be greater than our anxieties? I’d say yes, although I’ve yet to achieve this enlightened state ...
- Movie Review – The Possession of Hannah GraceHollywood pulled off another movie that actually had me a little bit afraid. I’ll say I was very tense during some scenes. That sure doesn’t happen very often anymore. They did an incredible job of setting the tone of this horror flick. The ambiance was perfect; it kept you on the ...
- Can Dune be done? Should Dune be done? Bringing Long Books to the ScreenUntil the last generation, when Peter Jackson proved The Lord of the Rings could not only be made into a successful film — but be so off-the-charts good that it took home 11 Oscar Awards — it was unheard of to succeed at translating most of the great sci-fi and ...
- Virgin Movie Review – 10 Cloverfield LaneI hadn’t seen any of the films with Cloverfield in the title, not Cloverfield itself, or 10 Cloverfield Lane, nor the Cloverfield Paradox. I’m not clear if they’re even related to each other. Some sources say yes, but think it might indicate a anthology of unrelated trippy stories, like a ...
- Movie Review – OverlordOverlord wasn’t bad; it wasn’t great but it definitely wasn’t bad. At moments it bordered on campy, and then would flow back into a shoot ’em up thriller. It reminded me of the video games my husband plays. It has that type of feel, not quite real, but with a ...
- Best Rock, Pop Songs in Non-Musical MoviesIf you love movies, you’re probably an aficionado of films using rock or pop hits in their stories as well. You can put this mental connection to good use if you run playlists on Alexa/Google Home/cell phone/whatever, loading it up to play songs evoking your favorite films. Use the lists ...
- Movie Review – SuspiriaAs Suspiria ended, for the first time in my career, I didn’t have a clue as to what I had just seen. Fortunately, there was a very pleasant young man seated near me who helped shed some light on this confusing piece of work. He referred back to the original, ...
