I made a thing, just for fun. I got a copy of the book for Pretty in Pink that has the original Duckie Wins ending, and provide some commentary, analysis and trivia on the movie, the pros and cons of the possible endings, and then read the original ending. Enjoy!

Wonder Woman. So many reactions to this movie. And for me, the movie itself has not only inspired the Feels, but the reactions to the movie have as well, good and bad. Most reactions that I see are inspiring and wonderful, such as this list of reactions from students in a Kindergarten class, or this awesome video

Black Mirror: San Junipero hit all of my (and Finn’s) sweet spots! I think part of the positive reactions might be due to the fact that Black Mirror is pretty consistently bleak, but reality right now is practically a Black Mirror episode, so an episode that was (possibly) hopeful was such a nice gift. And

I have run fast enough from the theater in the future to break the time barrier and return here to give you my review of the movie. There was a lot about the JLA movie that was sheer awesome! A lot of cool, snapshot poses, a lot of awesome uses of superpowers. But by the

Ghostbusters was great fun. Reading reviews, I see it really being reviewed as four different things, and depending on which, the reviews vary widely: 1) Remake of a beloved classic 2) A comedy 3) A movie, period 3) A work of female representation and empowerment For me: 1) Remake: It was that perfect blend of

Santa Claus has starred in a lot of movies. I can only assume he uses the money from his acting gigs to upgrade his workshop, what with technology always advancing. Hard to build iPods with chisels, ya know? But, sadly, not all of his movies are good. Here are some examples of the not-so-great ones.

I love the Christmas season. But there are only so many good holiday movies. And then you start to get into the less good holiday movies. If you don’t ration properly, you may be watching Earnest Saves Christmas before you know it. I also am a sucker for romance. Anyone whose read my stories probably picked

WHAT? I looked at the critic reviews for San Andreas on Fandango and was surprised to see this as the first review: “The film is so unusually moving and penetrating because it refuses to cloud its emotions in distancing irony, anger, or nihilism.” WHAT? Is this movie completely more interesting and deeper than I assumed?

First, let me just say I wish I had the time and skill to video mash-up Doctor Horrible talking about The Hammer with scenes from Thor. But I made you this picture instead. Thor was simple action movie fun. I had hoped for more substance, with Kenneth Branagh directing and the gravitas and richness of

I know Robert E. Howard wrote both Kull and Conan, and the Kull movie took a lot from a Conan story, but does the new Conan movie really have to look like Kull the Conqueror II? The first Arnie Conan was awesome and launched a wave of fantasy films (including, admittedly, a cheesy Conan sequel). But
