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…

in RunPee FAQsThis has been the most financially successful year in RunPee history. I think we’re in good shape to be around for a long time to come. 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

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…

The November Man – movie review
—
Grade: B+ November Man is a very good movie, compared to other movies in the genre. But lets face it, the spi-thriller genre is heavily littered with disappointments. Being better than average in this genre isn’t a steep hill to climb. I happen to enjoy this genre pretty well. Thinking back to fairly recent movies…
