Movie Review – Widows
—
Widows is a tightly wound drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat with perfect pacing, incredible acting and spot-on directing. I want to give kudos to Joe Walker for the amazing way this movie was edited. In the opening scene, he takes us from a sexy bedroom scene to a chaotic…

Virgin Movie Review – Gone Girl (with Spoilers)
I feel physically unclean after seeing Gone Girl. Seriously. Please excuse me while I take a scalding shower…. Okay, I’m back. Very clean. HEY, past this point, there be SPOILERS in DETAIL about Gone Girl. I think I washed the stench of evil from my skin. Eeeeevil. E-VIL. The ‘girl’ is the scariest psychotic imaginable.[pullquote]…

Movie Review – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen Will Rock You
—
Tears — check. Racing heart — check. Goose pimples — check. Foot stomping good fun — check. A deeper appreciation for a beloved musician and band — double check. I love Queen’s music; always have, but I’ll be honest: I knew nothing about the band members and their story, and I’m glad I didn’t, because it made this…

Fact or Fiction – First Man and Neil Armstrong
—
First Man is a surprising film. It’s surprisingly devoid of excitement, I mean. Instead of a rousing tale of man’s journey to the moon, it focuses narrowly on life through the eyes of the taciturn and insular Neil Armstrong. He’s a strange choice to be awarded the honor of the first person to set foot…

Movie Review – Mid90s
—
First off, I’d give Mid90s a solid B. It’s a strange, unhappy little movie. I think it’s worth a watch, but it’s NOT a comedy. Ignore the hype saying that. This is a slightly artsy slice of life about a 13-year-old skateboarding kid who makes some seriously bad choices. I even put an Alert Peetime…

Movie Review – Indivisible
—
I’m wondering, has the Hollywood ‘think tank’ gone dry? I wonder this because it seems that every other movie RunPee covers is based on a true story. That’s okay, if the movie has a good story behind it, it can be enjoyable. Not so true for Indivisible. The story behind this movie deals with the…

Virgin Review – Legend of Tarzan
I thoroughly enjoyed this somewhat lightweight movie. It was a different take on the Tarzan story; a more adult version. Clearly, it was filmed on location, and the African settings were breathtaking. I’m going to have to make a trip to the Congo…and I’d be honored to assume a submissive pose to a gorilla troop (heads…

Virgin Review – Source Code
Source Code (2011) is based off yet another story by Philip K. Dick, always an excellent go-to for exciting mind-bending films about space, time, and supra-realities. Look at past movies mining P.K. Dick: Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, and Paycheck. I know I’m missing others, but the point is he’s a reliable “source” (ha!)…

Mary Queen Of Scots has long been my favorite monarch. The life she led was both exciting and tragic. With the new movie coming out — Mary Queen of Scots — this is the perfect time to brush up on your knowledge of her fascinating life. How well do you know this complex queen? Take…

Quiz – Queen Elizabeth I
—
The story of Queen Elizabeth l is an inspiration for women determined to make their own path through life. She possessed strength, wisdom, and courage, something normally not often seen in women during the time of her reign. We’ve had a few movies over the years about Elizabeth, and those are worth rewatching to get…
