Original Jurassic Park Breaks Box Office Records for the Fourth Time
You just can’t keep a 9 ton Tyrannosaurus rex down. Universal Pictures released Jurassic Park — the 1993 original — four times in theaters over the last 27 years. And every single time, it trampled box office records. Including last weekend, which is notable for several reasons: It was Father’s Day weekend, …
Ranking the X-Men Movies
Superhero ensemble films owe a huge debt to the X-Men franchise. Without the thoughtful world-building, frequent levity, and sparkling dialog characterizing the best of the X-Men films, we’d have no Marvel Cinematic Universe. No Avengers, no Endgame, no Iron Man!…just somber Batmen parading by in rubber suits. X-Men blew jaded …
Movie Review – Artemis Fowl
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear… I was really disappointed by Artemis Fowl. Not because it was a bad film — it wasn’t — nor because it was badly made because, again: it wasn’t. The cast was (mostly) good, the effects were spot on, and the acting was fine. My disappointment …

Mon Mothma to appear on Star Wars Cassian Andor show
Remember Mon Mothma? She appears as a revolutionary leader in the classic Star Wars trilogy and the interestingly posed prequel Rogue One. In Return of the Jedi, she has that classic line about many Bothans dying to get the Death Star plans. (Most don’t recall that she’s referring to the …
How do the movies in Star Wars stand up to the Bechdel test?
Do the characters in Star Wars — movies ostensibly depicting future lives and worlds — pass the Bechdel test? I was up too late one night and decided to think this through. What is the Bechdel test, you ask? It’s generally accepted as whether a work of fiction features at least two …
Every Disney Princess Movie Obsessed with Mommy Problems (and 3 that aren’t)
Disney Princesses obsessed with mothers, missing mothers, and evil step-mothers Star Wars is all about Daddy Issues. Yet Disney has a thing for moms: missing, crazy, obsessed, or just plain evil mother figures. What’s the endless deal with parental problems? Why does this speak to us in this day and age, …
5 Older Movies We’d Love Remakes Of (And 5 That Are Perfect)
It is a truth universally acknowledged: a single movie in possession of a large following must be in want of a remake. At least, that’s how Hollywood executives seem to see things! Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the real truth is that remakes aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. And that’s even …
Top 10 Animated Fantasy Movies
Pixar’s latest adventure Onward hit cinemas last March 6, and it’s one of the only films still in theaters (at least those that are now open, including many drive-in theaters). It’s set in a world of mythical creatures such as mermaids, unicorns, gnomes, centaurs, manticores, and elves. I thought it …

The serialized Bounty-Hunter-meets- premise was greeted with nearly galactic reactions of relieved happiness. Star …
Passengers Rewatch Review
I assume you have already seen Passengers. Spoilers ahead. Rewatching Passengers tonight I noticed a flaw in the plot. It was pointed out that the hibernation pods could keep them asleep, and wake them up when they arrived at Homestead II, but they didn’t have the equipment to put someone into hibernation. However, …
Making movies a little better: The Martian
The Martian is a fantastic movie. I just finished watching it for the umteenth time. It’s a masterful work in every aspect. But if I may be so bold, it could have been a little better. My Pitch Mark Watney is alone on Mars. No companionship. Not even a stuffed animal. Except …
Movie Artemis Fowl Going Straight to Streaming June 12, and Why This Matters
In a major movie news event, Disney announced they’re sending their summer blockbuster Artemis Fowl straight to streaming, bypassing any theatrical release. They’re skipping cinemas entirely. This is significant. Every other feature initially on Hollywood’s 2020 summer roster has been rescheduled to late Fall — or next year. Or, in …

Forget life for a while and watch all 9 episodes of Star Wars… AT ONCE
Thank you Internet, for once again delivering something new and distracting for us. Watch this YouTube video of a nine screen split of Star Wars episodes I – IX. It’s crazy! UPDATE: Well, you actually can’t watch this now. Disney managed to find it overnight and yanked it, stating copyright concerns. …
How I Came To Love Guardians Of The Galaxy
There are certain films that hook you from the very first time you see the poster, let alone the trailer, and there are those that you really struggle to see why they bothered. For me that spectrum ran from “Leon” (BIG fan of Luc Besson) down to “Dangerous Liaisons,” which …
Comic Con 2020 is Cancelled
For the first time in 51 years, world premier event San Diego Comic Con is cancelled, due to the Viral Apocalypse. Last year I attended the 50th anniversary of the SD Comic Con, and things were in high swing. Just like it was when I attended the year before, and the …

Sounds too good to be true — sit back during your enforced at-home quarantine and earn $1000 watching Harry Potter? Accio money! You might have even just completed a Harry Potter rewatch on your own, but you’re trapped at home anyway by virtue of the CoVid-19 viral pandemic, and this is …
Colossal – a great movie you probably never heard of
I was entertained throughout the roller coaster ride of Colossal that goes from confusion, to joy, to… a very, very, dark place… and then wraps it up beautifully.
Disease Expert Breaks Down Pandemic Scenes From Film & TV
This is a great scene breakdown of pandemic movies by a CDC expert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feGHmv_eDcw What Brian Amman had to say about procedures and equipment was enlightening. I’ll bet this guy has been called up numerous times since making this video to act as a consultant. Brian hit on my personal pet peeve: viruses …
