Spare Parts – movie review
—
Grade: B Initially I regarded this movie as predictable and a typical formula flick. However, it went a few steps beyond predictable. George Lopez, Jamie Lee Curtis and Marisa Tomei were very good and quite believable in their rolls, but the real stars were the four young actors that made up the science team. […

American Sniper – movie review
—
Grade: A- Just when I thought Bradley Cooper was a great actor he turns in a performance like this one and and makes me consider that he’s a *really* great actor. It seems like every movie I see him in he does something different and keeps doing it at a high level. There are many…

The biggest personal news is that Jill and I bought a house! RunPee HQ is now located in Swannanoa, North Carolina — just outside of Asheville. Here’s a picture…

Are Peetimes just the boring bits of a movie?
Many people assume that the Peetimes we pick for movies are just the boring bits. That’s certainly true for some Peetimes but not all. A more accurate description of Peetimes in general would be: the parts of a movie that are easiest to summarize without the viewer missing anything crucial to the story. Of course that’s a…

Movie Review – The Theory of Everything – More About Stephen Hawking Than Math
—
I’m a bit of a science geek — okay, I’m a huge science geek — so I’m aware of Stephen Hawking and his theories. However, I knew very little about him, beyond his illness. It was a real treat getting a glimpse into the personal life of the guy. Best of all, I enjoyed seeing…

Movie Review – John Wick 1
I loved the movie John Wick; it was violent without being gory. What I liked most about the movie was the choreography of the action scenes. I’ve seen my share of action movies and I must say that the action in John Wick is top notch. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the directors…

Movie Review – Gone Girl
—
This isn’t exactly my favorite genre. Still, I loved 98% of this movie, but I don’t want to say which 2% of the movie I didn’t like, because that might spoil some things for you and I’d hate myself for that, because this is a really good movie — except for the part that isn’t.…

The Equalizer – movie review
—
Grade: A+ First, let’s go over everything that’s wrong with this movie… Okay, now that we have that out of the way… Seriously, there’s nothing wrong; the acting, action, plot, story, characters, pacing, et al., are all spot on. This is the best action movie I can remember seeing since the original Bourne Identity. All…

Maze Runner – movie review
—
Grade: D The movie itself was mediocre — not good or bad. Likewise with the acting. The entire cast is comprised of young inexperienced actors who do an average job — which isn’t a bad thing. No one stood out as great but at the same time no one stood out as horrible. The best…
