60 Movies Standing Up To The Test Of Time
Here’s list of my favorite films, all of which are somewhere in the A range, or a high B. I didn’t actually include everything I’ve ever given an A to on RunPee, because they were often graded according to the target audience, and aren’t actually my personal faves. Sometimes I want to upgrade a film…

All Predator Movies, Rated
There’s a glut of Predator movies in the franchise now, starting with the classic Predator of 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger, through ’til just this week, with The Predator. Since almost each film has basically the same name (except Requiem), it can be confusing to recall which was released when, with what storyline. Also, each storyline has…

Movie Review – Unbroken: Path to Redemption
—
I truly do enjoy faith-based movies, but Unbroken left me a little flat. The acting was pretty good, and the directing was acceptable, however, since I didn’t read Laura Hillenbrand’s book Path To Redemption, I can’t comment on how closely the book was followed.[pullquote] It was interesting that Billy Graham’s grandson played his grand father (Billy…

Movie Review – A Simple Favor
—
What a fabulous movie!! What I just watched surpassed many movies in my list of favorites. It’s probably hit the top three. I enjoyed this movie better than a day off from work with no bills to pay. From the moment the movie started, I was hooked. The characters are so deep and odd that…

Movie Review – White Boy Rick
—
White Boy Rick was very well done. The acting and directing was superb. They were able to completely immerse the audience in that time and place. Mathew McConaughey was awesome. He rocked this role, just like he always does. I’m pretty sure he can do anything. I’ve never seen Richie Merritt in anything before, but…

Movie Review – The Predator
This was the best Predator movie besides the very first with Arnold in 1987. The Predator did a great job revitalizing the franchise in a way that the subsequent ones (from the middling Predator 2 sequel through the two AvP disasters) didn’t. [pullquote]If you loved the classic Predator original, you’ll have a good time with…

Movie Review – Doctor Strange
Weird, weird, weird. Yes, in a film pointedly titled Strange, this is very bizarre stuff. I haven’t seen the character in comic book media, but I imagine it took until our current technology to make all this mental scat look so good, so pretty, on film. Folding cities, broken mirror landscapes, characters running up and…

Movie Review – Peppermint
—
Peppermint was a tough film to grade. It doesn’t suck. But it’s also not that great. Ultimately, if you want to see it, I’d suggest waiting for the DVD, or a streaming option. [pullquote]It’s a ‘heart warming revenge tale’ along the lines of many stories we’ve seen in this genre before. The only thing making…

Movie Review – God Bless the Broken Road
—
Even though the critics panned God Bless The Broken Road, I did find a few redeeming qualities I’d like to share with you. The movie touches on a few issues, that sadly, are all too prevalent in our world today: we have the ‘war widow’ trying desperately to hold her world together without the support…

Movie Review – The Nun
Sit back, relax, and pull off your habit. It’s time for The Nun to have some fun. Seriously, I’ve been waiting for this movie since the day I was born. I felt it in my bones. The Conjuring Universe has consistently been one of the greatest franchises ever put to film. The amount of expectation…
