Movie Review – Jesus Revolution
—
Jesus Revolution is smart, uplifting and has a great soundtrack. The movie doesn’t preach to the audience, instead it offers an opportunity to set back and enjoy watching the lives of some interesting people unfold. Jonathen Roumie nailed his role as Lonnie Frisbee, the kind and gentle soul that kicks off the revolution. Many of…

Movie Review – Marlowe
—
If ‘Marlowe’ were shown in the 1930s or 40s it would keep the theaters packed for weeks. That’s how well Neil Jordan pulled off this film noir movie. The pacing was spot-on for a movie of this kind, and the directing was pretty good. The writing stayed true to the film noir feel, using well-worn…

Movie Review – Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
—
This charming sequel is just as fun as the first. Peter is still a mischievous little bunny, but he wants to be better. A good morality story is intertwined with wild antics to keep the kiddies entertained. But make no mistake, this is a kiddy movie. There’s not much to entertain older kids and adults.…

Movie Review – The Little Things
—
It pains me to give Denzel Washington a less than stellar review, but that’s the best I can do with this movie. It was a very tired, overused plot that added nothing to the genre. The acting was respectable although no one is going to walk away with an Oscar. There didn’t seem to be…

Movie Review – Ingrid Goes West
—
Ingrid Goes West could have taken the path of becoming a nasty, bloody horror flick. All the ingredients are there: a mentally disturbed antagonist (Ingrid), a somewhat naive protagonist (Taylor), a hapless boyfriend (Dan), and a whole gaggle of mean girls. Instead, we’re given a dark dramedy, full of raw emotion. This is not a…

Movie Review – Emma.
Fans of Jane Austen are going to enjoy this latest big screen production of her novel, Emma. Even though Ms. Austin’s writing provides for a fun two hours of witty dialog, it’s the magnificent visual impact of the English countryside with its equally magnificent manors that takes Emma. from a B rating to an A.…

Movie Review – Gretel & Hansel
—
Be advised, I, RunPee Mom, usually don’t do horror movies. That distinction belongs to RunPee Sis — however, she flaked out on me last night. So the task (one might even call it a burden in this case) fell to me. I’ll do my best to grade Gretel & Hansel according to the target audience.…

Movie Review – The Last Full Measure
—
The Last Full Measure was a difficult movie for me to watch. The more recent war movies, such as Saving Private Ryan or 1917, are exceptional representations of a bloody conflict, and I enjoyed both films, mainly from a historical point of view. The Last Full Measure took me to a different place for very…

Movie Review – Richard Jewell
Richard Jewell is an A-grade movie. It’s a tightly constructed biography of a man with a lifelong ambition of becoming a member of law enforcement and how all that goes wrong after doing something heroic.
