Contact – Silver Anniversary Movie Rewatch
What links French philosopher Voltaire, The Return Of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, an ancient king of Assyria, and Captain Picard’s tea? The link is one of my favourite films. That film hits its 25th anniversary this summer; that film is Contact. One other thing before I get going, there may well be spoilers. All…

Movie Review – Sing 2
Sing 2 is an ADORABLE movie with spectacular song and dance numbers, great animation, and a lot of heart and humor. The story is a fine follow-up to the lives of the animals well-loved from the original, with some cameos of minor roles in the first few minutes…so try not to be late. Where Sing 2 falls down…

Top 5 Songs from the movie Sing 1 (2016)
It’s no secret I have a guilty fondness for the original Sing movie (2016). In fact, I set my Alexa to wake me up with the chipper, highly singable tunes I play imaginary karaoke to in the privacy of my shower. The movie narrative itself is charming and upbeat, with a great message about inclusivity.…

Weekly Peeple’s Poll Results for January 27, 2020
Everyone is talking about 1917, and justifiably so because it’s an excellent movie, but Just Mercy continues to impress Peeple. By the end of the year both movies will likely be near the top of the favorite movies as voted on by RunPee fans. We had three new movies out this week. The Last Full…

Movie Review – The Gentlemen
—
Guy Ritchie returns to where it all started: the Brit Gangster flick. Albeit, this time with an American lead. I don’t know if Matthew McConaughey was first choice for the lead but, to my mind, he fits it well as the trailer trash Texan who made it to the upper echelons of English society via…

Movie Review – The Beach Bum – A Bum Deal (If You’re Not Actually High)
—
I’m still trying to figure out if any plot happened in this pet project by Matthew McConaughey, but now fully understand why most theaters didn’t play it. Beach Bum is an hour and a half of watching someone else’s party. There are huge doobies and naked boobies, and I guess that’s enough for sitting back…

Movie Review – Serenity
—
Serenity is one of those movies that you’ll either love, or really hate, or maybe a little bit of both. Not everyone will get this movie, so I’ll follow that statement up with this: you need to pay attention to the screen. There are visual clues and verbal clues, but they all have a…

Quiz – Matthew McConaughey – The Sexiest Man Alive
—
This Texan has stolen the hearts of…well…every woman alive. He can even sell me a Lincoln car. 😉 I’ll describe the movie and you give me the title. Easy Breezy. [quiz-cat id=”13469″] Hope you had fun with this quiz, and hey, why don’t you challenge your smug friend who thinks she/he knows everything about MM? Movie…

Movie Review – Interstellar
My one word review would be: disappointed. I think Christopher Nolan tried too hard to make a modern day 2001 A Space Odyssey. The ships looked much like 2001. There were long, drawn out scenes of docking. The robot TARS simultaneously pays homage to HAL and the monolith. And of course the visuals throughout the…
