Movie Review – The Call of the Wild
Call of the Wild maintains the spirit of the story from the original book — by the same name — while making necessary changes so that this movie version will be more palatable for youngsters. If anyone tried to make this movie perfectly loyal to the original story, no parent would dare let their young…

Contagion – a PSA and movie review
What makes the movie Contagion so dramatic is that it’s not overly dramatic. This isn’t a virus that wipes out half the world population. There’s no bleeding from the eyes, no walking dead. However, director Steven Soderbergh manages to turn an everyday scene in a coffee shop into the horror movie equivalent of the young coed pulling…

Dan’s top 10 favorite movies from 2019
—
It feels like Avengers: Endgame came out years ago. Was it really just this past spring? But it would hardly matter what year it came out — it would have been the best movie. Here’s my top 10. I’m not going to just pick the 10 movies I rated the highest. (I gave Uncut Gems an A,…

Jill’s Top Ten Movies of 2019
Here’s RunPee Jilly’s list of top ten favorite films of 2019. Keep in mind that my favorite films may not be ranked the highest as per movie grade. As RunPee Dan says about Uncut Gems, “A film might be graded an A and you still hated watching it.” That’s why I don’t have Rocketman or…

RunPee – Our 2109 Movie Review Rankings (and who was stuck with the worst films!)
$2,797,800,564 world wide. You can buy a lot of Infinity Peecoins with that. 2019 closed out a decade of movies, not so much with a bang, but with a snap. Avengers: Endgame was a tour de force that culminated a decade defined, both culturally and monetarily, by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Between 2010 and 2019…

Golden Man’s Movie Review – Jojo Rabbit
Although I’m a fan of director Taika Waititi, the first trailer for Jojo Rabbit didn’t inspire much confidence. The scene of an imaginary Hitler comforting a ten-year-old boy fell pretty flat. Waititi isn’t the first person to mine World War II for laughs. Charlie Chaplin, Mel Brooks, and the TV show Hogan’s Heroes have made…

Best Zombie Movies Ever
Zombieland 2: Double Tap opens this week and I have a feeling I’m not the only one hungry for Twinkies. It’s been ten years since the first Zombieland and if the sequel does well, they’re talking about making a third one in another ten years. In case you need more zombie goodness to tide you…

Movie Review – Joker
—
I have a feeling a lot of people will really like this Joker movie. Personally, I don’t understand how this film can even come close to the MCU and their best films. It’s not funny at all, like EVER, and doesn’t involve any of the Justice League members. I have to admit that we’ve had…

Best Superhero Movies That Were Never Made
Todd Philips’ controversial new film Joker opens this week. It’s kind of amazing that a character piece with no connection to the DC Universe and no Batman in sight got the green light. Many other movies aren’t so lucky. Even movies with major talent attached to them. Here’s a look at some superhero movies that…
