Hip Indie Theater Review in Tijuana, Mexico – Cine Tonala
I sit here with delightful empanada pastries, and a nice menu in this three level establishment in downtown’s Cine Tonala — right on the ‘infamous’ Av. Revolucion in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. It’s a sneeze to walk across the main San Diego border, then a longish walk, cheap van-taxi, or short UBER ride from there,…

Movie Review – Lizzie
—
Let me start with this simple statement: if you feel like going to see this movie, just don’t. Save your money; make some popcorn at home, and watch literally any documentary Netflix has on Lizzie Borden. You’ll get the exact same information we’ve been given since August 4, 1892, when the murders took place. Let’s…

Movie Review – Life Itself
—
Typically, I don’t read other critics’ reviews before writing my own. However, I felt compelled to do so after seeing a blurb that condemned *Life Itself* to the fiery pits of Hell. I do not agree. I have to say that disagreeing with the ‘professional’ critics makes me ever so eager to write my own…

Movie Review – Assassination Nation
—
This movie was painful for me to watch. I tried to like it; I really did. However, nothing in the movie could convince me otherwise. It sucked. I will admit I am a little bit over the age of the targeted audience; perhaps that is why the movie didn’t appeal to me. It felt super…

Movie Review – The House With A Clock In Its Walls
—
I wish this film was better. It started out lively, with some nice funky humor for a while. There were good production values throughout. Unfortunately, the story went downhill fast at the middle mark, and became a dreadful muddle by the end. I watched the children in the theater to make sure it wasn’t just…

1st Captain Marvel Trailer Finally Drops – Comments and Speculation
We’ve just seen the first trailer for Captain Marvel, in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe…and it honestly doesn’t show much. It lasts a little less than two minutes. It shows Brie Larson’s character (Carol Danvers, AKA Captain Marvel) falling to the Earth, and then a variety of nano-scenes flash by. We see some…

Movie Review – A Boy. A Girl. A Dream
—
I rate this movie a C, because the dialogue is really slow throughout, and takes some time to build the plot. I also thought the numerous dead spaces of no dialogue got a little boring, based upon the peoples’ faces in the theater audience. It also seemed as though the ending was a little abrupt,…

Fun Details You Didn’t Notice from the Halloween Trailer
The new Halloween movie returns to its roots. Yeah! It cleans up the timeline — ignoring the iffy sequels and remakes. Almost entirely. Right on! It’s full of visual metaphors and clues reminding you of the original movie, and promising what may come. Will we see hints of chilling thrills, and a great concluding narrative…

Free In Flight Movies – they rock, but are harder to find
I used to love Delta Airlines, and willingly paid more for their expensive tickets. Why? They had movies, over a hundred film options (some barely out of the cinemas, plus new popular TV show episodes), built into the backs of their comfy, relatively wide seats. For free. You brought or bought headphones, plugged them in,…

Halloween 2nd Trailer Released, Curtis to Whip Some Psycho Butt!
Halloween is coming — in more ways than one. We at RunPee couldn’t be more excited for Jamie Lee Curtis, after all this time (since 1978!), to scare HER psycho boogeyman Mike Meyers, and whup his deranged butt for once and for all. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to go to prison, allowing for…
