Movie Review: Mean Girls (2024)
—
The Plastics are back. The reboot of Mean Girls has got a few good callbacks to the original, but mostly this 2024 version doesn’t impress. You need to know this remake is a musical. The songs are pretty continual, and so much of the crucial story was truncated in favor of making the movie fit…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of Firestarter?
—
There is nothing extra during, or after, the end credits of Firestarter. The credits run for approximately 4 minutes. Read the RunPee movie review for Firestarter by Christene Johnson. Movie review grade: F We have 3 Peetimes for Firestarter. Learn more. About The Peetimes I’ve got 3 times for you to use. If you are squeamish about animals being hurt and killed I’d…

Lion King – Animated vs Broadway vs Live Action
The “live action” (actually CGI, folks) remake of The Lion King is hitting theaters. This new version of the Disney 1994 classic features significant differences. Now is a great time to return to Pride Rock — and revisit Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Mufasa, Zazu, and Rafiki — as we compare the animated, Broadway, and the…

Is Bumblebee a prequel or a reboot?
Prequel or reboot. Or, soft-reboot — whatever that is. Just where does Bumblebee fit in the Transformers universe? Officially, Bumblebee is a prequel, set in 1987. But when you watch the movie you better wear your best retcon glasses, because there’s a lot that just can’t fit with the story we already know. For instance: in…

Movie Review – Once Upon A Deadpool
The Deadpool Before Christmas was hard to grade. I had to wonder if it’s better than the original Deadpool 2, if it added anything impressive to the canon, and if it’s worth spending your cash on what amounts to a re-tread of the same movie you saw last summer. For real Deadpool fans, this…

Movie Review – Robin Hood
First off, I’m going to say this movie doesn’t deserve an involved review, but I’ll tackle it anyway. It’s bad. My theater was full last night, but when talking to others after the film ended, they weren’t impressed. It’s a disposable version of the old story, adding nothing to the tale. I’m scratching my…

Where the Cast from the Original Overboard is Now
When I saw the original Overboard in 1987, I was delighted with its wit and charm. It had a lightness, a sense of playful adventure, and a sweetly romantic conclusion. It made me laugh. It made me happy. Although the plot was implausible — and vaguely sexist even for the 80s — I was willing…

Is there anything extra during the end credits of The Incredible Hulk?
No, there are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Incredible Hulk. Nothing extra? No wonder this movie is barely considered to be a part of the MCU. 🙂 In this movie the Bonus scene comes before the credits begin.
