- Rewatch Movie Review – Stardust – A Great Vintage Fantasy Film“A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?” Pointless, really…”Do the stars gaze back?” Now that’s a question.” And with those opening lines we are immediately enchanted by the world of “Stardust” (2007). And enchanting is …

- First View Movie Review – Jumanji (1995)Adoring as I do Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle — my favorite film of 2017 — I looked forward to finally watching the original Jumanji with Robin Williams. My understanding was the game updates itself for its era, meaning the 1995 game would be a vintage style board game …
- Movie Review – X-Men: Dark PhoenixThe X-Men Universe, produced by 20th Century Fox, had a twenty year run. Now that it’s over, they should be applauded for the influence they’ve had on the superhero movie genre. Fox movie assets are now owned by Disney. That means the X-Men can, at some point, be wrapped into the …
- A Godzilla Newbie Watches King of the MonstersHaving 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 …

- All Modern Godzilla Movies, RankedI’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 …
- Godzilla End Credits Song Remix By Serj TankianBlue Oyster Cult is probably most famous for their song Godzilla. It’s a must if you want to set the mood for seeing Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But, better yet, give a listen to the remix by Serj Tankian that plays in the movie as the credits roll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOO8Um_jmLI https://runpee.com/godzilla-lyrics-and-video-from-blue-oyster-cult/ https://runpee.com/movie-review-godzilla-king-of-the-monsters/
- Movie Review – Godzilla: King of the MonstersLet’s face it, no one watches porn for the plot. Two barely dressed women order pizza and minutes later a buff young man knocks on the door. You know what happens next. Likewise, no one watches mega monster movies expecting Inception level plot twists. We watch to see monsters eff each …
- Rewatch Review – A Look Back at The Hunger Games SeriesThe Hunger Games, My current favorite franchise. Again… Last night I wasn’t in the mood for TV. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch a movie, read a book, play the PS4…On a whim, I started the Vudu app on the fire stick and browsed my digital copy collection. When …
- Life on Earth After Avengers: Endgame (Post-post Snap)NOTE: Spoilers start right away for Avengers: Endgame. Although it’s a beautiful moment in Avengers: Endgame when Dr. Strange‘s portals opened and The Vanished step back into existence, the sudden return of all these people is very problematic. Let’s assume for a minute Strange’s sorcerers planned ahead and saved all the people …
- Rewatch Review – Godzilla (1998) – More overthinking than this film deservesI really don’t want to make this a long review, since the movie’s trash and it’s not worth a lot of my day. I say all this in advance and with apologies to Matthew Broderick, who’s a fine actor. Broderick is always adorable, and can normally pull a film out any …
- Virgin Movie Review – Godzilla (2014) – Not as bad as the last oneDid this movie do Godzilla right? Yes, better than the previous Godzilla. How’s that for a ringing endorsement? (It isn’t.) The 2014 Godzilla HAD to be an improvment over the 1998s Matthew Broderick mess, just to even things out. But I’ll save that for its own review. In case you find the …
- Movie Review – Brightburn – An Ingenious Anti Superman FilmLast night I was thoroughly entertained. Brightburn has something for everyone. There is horror, science fiction, humor, drama, suspense — the list goes on and on. The special effects garnered most of my applause. There were sequences I’ve never seen done before. One scene in particular was a literal jaw dropper. …

- Are We Sure These Wick Movies Aren’t Another Version Of The Matrix?I’ve gotta say, I disagree with RunPee Dan’s John Wick 3 review on Parabellum. Some of what he says holds true with the choreography and perhaps the length of the film. But I didn’t get bored with the action. Very light, vague John Wick Parabellum spoilers lie ahead… The end of the …
- Movie Review – John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum (Not as good as the first two)I loved the first two John Wick movies, especially the first, which really brought new life to the action genre. But I found myself getting bored by the monotonous action in John Wick Parabellum. I think the movie might have been better if it had been a little shorter. Many of …
- Interview with John Wick director Chad Stahelski – from stunt double to directorRemember the 1990s movie The Crow, staring Brandon Lee who was tragically shot on set during filming?

- Is Godzilla: King of the Monsters a Sequel to Kong: Skull Island?The trailers for the new Godzilla movie have been amazing, but the marketing campaign isn’t the clearest. What’s there to know besides the fact that awesome-looking monsters are going to destroy things for our entertainment? For the true movie lover? Plenty. Here are the connections they aren’t advertising. There’s a …

There’s some speculation about what that hammer sound was at the end of the credits in Avengers: Endgame. Is it something we’ll find out in an upcoming movie? Could be. But that hammering-on-metal audio clip sure does sound a lot …
- How Captain Marvel Stole Shazam’s NameIt’s no surprise that Captain Marvel and Shazam! both had movies released within weeks of each other this year. Despite being from separate comic universes, the two superheroes have always been inextricably linked by a connection with their name. Shazam was the original Captain Marvel?! The DC Comics character Shazam was originally …
- Captain Marvel – Video and Lyrics to Just a Girl by No DoubtCaptain Marvel is a girl. We kind of all knew that in advance. But while her origin story sends the girl power message a bit over the top, Just A Girl by No Doubt still really works, cinematically. It’s a fun, feel-good movie moment. The entire film’s 90s sound track is …
- Avengers Easter Egg – Where We Saw That Random Kid in Endgame Before in the MCUWho is that teenager from Avengers Endgame standing there at the end with our heroes — but a little apart — looking vaguely familiar?
