April 26, 2020

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 I’ve sat in front of […]

Quiz – Chris Pratt – Not the New Kid in Town Anymore

February 3, 2019

Chris Pratt became a hot item after the first Guardians of the Galaxy hit the big screen. Follow that up with the revival of the dinosaur franchise with Jurassic World, throw in an animated starring role voice for the Lego Universe, and you’ve got the busiest guy in show biz. And don’t forget one-off sci-fi gems like Passengers! Hope […]

Greet the Morning with Groot – Mr. Blue Sky Video and Lyrics

January 1, 2019

One of the most memorable scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the opening credits, as the adorable Baby Groot dances to ELO’s hit song “Mr. Blue Sky.” What makes this scene so engaging is Groot’s complete obliviousness to his team mates-slash-parents’ danger as they fight a seriously deranged space monster. The Guardians […]

Guardians of the Galaxy Ex-Director James Gunn to Direct Suicide Squad 2

October 14, 2018

In a surprise move that, in hindsight, should not be so surprising, DC snapped up erstwhile Marvel director James Gunn. The director who helmed the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy films was fired last July from GOTG Vol3 for offensive Twitter jokes posted over a decade ago, stirring up ire and confusion from legions of […]

May 22, 2018

At this time, there are exactly 19 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ant Man & The Wasp is coming soon (to make an even 20) but that tale will probably be a self-contained story: a palette cleanser after the lingering after-effects of mighty number 19, the Avengers Infinity War. You probably already know Infinity War is […]

Prettiest Live Action Movies

April 26, 2018

Here’s a fun topic, a list of the “prettiest” ever live action movies. They have to be gorgeous on their own merits, plot aside. I’m looking for outstanding visuals.

Lots of color, slick visual or computer generated effects that stand up through time, creative set-pieces, stylish direction, and lavish location scenery.[/pullquote] […]

Best Movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Up to Thor: Ragnarok)

March 29, 2018

Here’s RunPee Jilly’s list of the best-to-worst films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since so many of these movies are good, and there are so many of them, I’ve chosen to rank the films by “tier”. Top Tier, Middle Tier, and Bottom Tier. (And one that is simply Bad.) I’m not going to stress over […]
