And the 2021 Oscar Nominees are…

April 12, 2021

It’s been a harsh year for movies. The pandemic closed down movie theaters. There are many that have yet to reopen. The pandemic also cut short the theatrical runs of films like Emma. Most major films moved their release dates to 2021 or beyond. Some films like Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch remain in limbo […]

Golden Man’s Movie Review – Jojo Rabbit

November 9, 2019

Although I’m a fan of director Taika Waititi, the first trailer for Jojo Rabbit didn’t inspire much confidence. The scene of an imaginary Hitler comforting a ten-year-old boy fell pretty flat. Waititi isn’t the first person to mine World War II for laughs. Charlie Chaplin, Mel Brooks, and the TV show Hogan’s Heroes have made […]

Post Oscars Night Comments and Feasting with the RunPee Family

February 27, 2019

The RunPee Family gathered at our Florida HQ to watch the 2019 Oscars event together, live-tweeting, snarking about presenters, shouting who we wanted to win, then cheering and jeering when movie awards were announced. It was much fun. And there was much feasting. (Scroll down for food pictures.) A Few Thoughts From the 2019 Oscars […]

Black Panther – Does Killmonger Have a Point?

February 21, 2019

[Spoilers ahead for everything Black Panther but not Infinity War] For Black Panther Week, and before the 2019 Oscars, I’d like to give this gorgeous and exciting film a shoutout. Black Panther is up for no less than SEVEN Academy Awards, so beyond being yet another fantastic Marvel Universe superhero film, the tone struck a cord with […]

Zero Song – Video & Lyrics from Ralph Breaks the Internet

February 18, 2019

Ralph Breaks the Internet, the lovable sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, plays almost like a Disney princess musical, which it kind of is, as an affectionate parody Disney surprisingly put forth in a very meta manner. (Disney having a sense of humor about themselves floored me in almost every way.) It’s pretty catchy, but not the […]

Movie Review – Roma – Alfonso Cuaron and his Netflix Masterpiece

January 27, 2019

I decided to do a movie review of Roma for a couple of reasons. It’s not a widely-released in movie theaters in the US, and it will not be a part of the AMC Theaters Best Picture Showcase (#AMCBPS) despite being one of the eight nominated films for Best Picture. Why? From what I read, […]

Rewatch Review – Mary Poppins – The Original & Classic Film

January 23, 2019

As we approach the Oscar season, I decided to rewatch the original Mary Poppins (MP). I’m certainly torn as to which one is better, considering that Mary Poppins Returns is not a remake; it’s a continuation of the Banks family drama. I love Julia Andrews and Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins. They both have a […]
