Movie Review – Blinded by the Light

Rather than Blinded by the Light being a semi biographical movie about Bruce Springsteen, it was more a movie about race, struggle, bigotry, and cultural survival. But more than that, it was a movie about a father and son who could only hope to bridge the generation gap that threatened to tear the family apart. […]

Movie Review – Rocketman

  I had a hard time with this review. Rocketman is both extraordinary (in costuming, sound, and visual sequences) and by-the-numbers (a creative life plagued by inner demons). Elton John’s musical biopic is a grand fantasy with exciting numbers that feel like a top notch Broadway extravaganza. It’s got great pacing, fun set-pieces, an ideal […]

Movie Review – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen Will Rock You

Tears — check.  Racing heart — check. Goose pimples — check. Foot stomping good fun — check. A deeper appreciation for a beloved musician and band — double check. I love Queen’s music; always have, but I’ll be honest: I knew nothing about the band members and their story, and I’m glad I didn’t, because it made this […]

We Didn’t Start The Fire – Movie References

Billy Joel made an historical hit in 1989, with pop song We Didn’t Start The Fire. Historical pop songs are a small genre (I can also think of One Week and Big Bang Theory, both by the Bare Naked Ladies), but mighty catchy to listen to, try as you might to catch all the cool […]

Quiz – How well do you know Freddie Mercury?

Even though I included a few musical questions, I wanted this quiz to honor Freddie Mercury the man, not just the band Queen. [quiz-cat id=”11096″] It’s a shame that when most people hear the name Freddie Mercury, they think about how he died, rather than what a musical genius he was. I hope I’ve changed […]

Funny Harry Potter Fan Film Short – The Mysterious Ticking Noise

Are you a really big Harry Potter fan? Here’s a somewhat silly, but super fun fan video, called Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise. These guys made a lot of little Harry Potter puppet shorts, but THIS is the best, the most beloved and well known. We Potterhead types have been known to play […]

Voldemort Will Funk You Up

I love the video of the Dark Lord Funk, a parody of Uptown Funk, and how it so cleverly sends up the Harry Potter mythos from the perspective of a hip and urban Voldemort. You have to view this one a few times, once for overall enjoyment, once to catch the rich visual humor, and a […]

Sand: A Star Wars Story (Darth Vader Hates This Song)

When I first heard this song about Star Wars and Sand, I played it a few times and realized it was way too catchy — impossible to tune out. But it’s so darn cute I don’t mind having the Force bouncing around in my skull for a spell. The funny thing, in the wake of […]

Movie Review – Forever My Girl

Forever My Girl was your average sappy sweet film. It had some serious — albeit predictable — ups and downs, but it kept you entertained. No, it’s not ‘The Notebook’ worthy, but I’m not angry I watched it. All the actors did a great job together and kept the flow going. The little girl, Billy, […]

Movie Review – Pitch Perfect 3

Pitch Perfect 3 did not disappoint. These movies are always fun and totally crazy, just like the actors and actresses they cast. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson have fantastic chemistry together, and work the screen like it’s a catwalk. This third installment was a bit more action oriented, which I found refreshing. I think anyone […]
