Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life?
Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life? In a word, yes. The girl, aptly played by Millicent Simmonds, is deaf and speaks American Sign Language. And she’ll definitely be in the follow-up film, but presumably older, wiser, and quieter. Representing Disability in A Quiet Place Actor-director John Krasinski pushed hard to…

Unfaithful Horror Movie Adaptations
Horror movie The Turning opens January 24. Aware moviegoers may notice the connection to the Henry James novel The Turn of the Screw. However, aside from a basic premise (a nanny is terrorized by her two charges), the film has little to do with the book it’s based on. This often happens in Hollywood. Here’s…

Critic Movie Reviews v RunPee Family Reviews
Not having professional or writer-educated staff (besides First Officer/COO Jill Florio, who was a journalist and magazine editor back when people still had real jobs), RunPee’s reviews are written from the heart, and are hopefully more useful than what we get from the well-paid critics of Rotten Tomatoes… Because we send RunPee family members who…

Movie Review – Underwater
—
Underwater was much better than I was expecting. I had fun watching it; they definitely did a great job with the suspense. I took my granddaughter with me and she whispered the funniest thing to me half way through. She says, “Don’t worry Grandma, I’m not gonna ask you to take me to the beach…

Movie Review – The Grudge
The Grudge didn’t impress me at all. It was a cool story but it was told all wrong. Before I get into everything I felt was wrong with it, my one compliment: there are chilling moments. A few times the hair on my neck stood up. It had potential. My biggest turn off was how…

Movie Review – Black Christmas
—
I was so excited to find out I was going to get to see Black Christmas on Friday the 13th! It’s always been a lucky day for me, until today. Today …that trend ended. I was so disappointed with Black Christmas. Let me first state that I have not seen the original. I didn’t…

What is the best all-time series franchise?

in Action, Blockbuster, Classic Movie List, Disney, Entertainment News, Horror, Movie awards, Movie News, Movie Opinions and Lists, Movie summary, Ranking Movies, Remakes and Reboots, Rewatch Reviews, Science Fiction, Sequels and Prequels, Shared Universe, Star Trek, Star Wars, Superheroes, Thriller
So many movie franchises, so little time. While it’s easy for producers to add yet another movie to any long-running series, it’s not so easy to have every one of them qualify as good, quality films. And in some series, all are decent, but none are outstanding. How to decide who gets the top spot…

Movie Review – Doctor Sleep
—
I’ll admit to being a bit dubious about coming to see this. Be honest… Did you think The Shining needed a sequel? Or worse still, something that just seemed to be using the name to attract bums on seats? In my defense, I know nothing about the alternative comic book universes so ‘Joker’ may be…
