Groundhog Day Themed Mouse Movie – Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas

Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas is three short animated films, stacked together to make a slightly longer short… one hour and six minutes. The first part is the one we’re mainly interested in, features Donald Duck and family, and is called Donald Duck: Stuck On Christmas. The second stars Goofy and family in A Very […]

Movie Review – Boss Level (2021’s Groundhog Day Loop film)

As the queen of Groundhog Day (GHD) time loop movies, of course I viewed and reviewed Boss Level. It’s only viewable on Hulu. This is too bad, because in a normal (ie, not CoVid year) this would be a crowd-pleasing blockbuster on the big screen. Seriously, Boss Level is a fantastic actioner that’s more comedic […]

No Watch Film Review – The Butterfly Effect (We can’t watch this movie again. Here’s Why.)

So as Groundhog Day rapidly approaches the people of the United States (honestly, before the film, I’d never heard of it and I think that is true for most people outside the USA), we’ve been doing rewatches or reviews of films that use the time loop trope. Some fit the Groundhog Day format better, while others are peripheral […]

The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. Updated for 2021: All Movies and Episodes with Groundhog Day Loops We realize Groundhog Day has come and gone…but in a pandemic world, it often seems like the same day is happening again and again […]

GHD Indie Movie Review – The Endless

So where do I begin with The Endless? It only just squeaks in as a Groundhog Day type film. Not because there isn’t a time loop, more likely because there isn’t just the one. There seem to be dozens of them. Some only seem to last seconds, whereas others last longer. There is a consistency regarding […]

GHD Indie Movie Review – Blood Punch

Blood Punch is an unusual little film. It starts off with our hero, Milton (Milo Cawthorne) waking up in a wilderness lodge on Tuesday. His first action is to run and throw up in a toilet. While he’s there he finds a screen, a load of wires, and a few other bits and pieces in […]

Triangle

First View Movie Review – Triangle (Groundhogs Day… at sea)

It’s funny how some films never get a chance because of a bit of marketing that doesn’t quite hit the spot, and so you just don’t bother looking past the poster. That’s what happened with me and 2009’s Triangle. The poster in question shows a blonde woman wearing a blood smeared top, holding an axe […]

Movie Review – Naked (2017)

Another Groundhog Day themed film to discuss! As often with this trope, Naked takes a while to get going. Eventually you settle into the rhythm of the repetition and drop a few giggles along the way. With Groundhog Day movies, something has to happen in order to move the day forward, and that something resets […]

Movie Review – Premature

As the resident fan of all things Groundhog Day, I try to keep up with recursive time loop stories. I just made a space in my busy (not really) schedule to view Premature. Released to little fanfare in 2014, Premature is like a modern (read: dirtier) version of an 80s John Hughes film. Did the […]

What does the ending of Palm Springs mean?

The three endings in the Groundhog Day themed movie Palm Springs have a little unpacking to do. Plus, dinosaurs. Let’s get to it. SPOILERS LIE AHEAD. Why does Nyles mention his dog? In the first end scene, Nyles and Sarah are lounging in the pool at his ‘safe house’ on November 10th, the real next day. […]
