Breakdown of Movie Grades from the RunPee Peeps

Movie Review – Night Swim
—
Night Swim had it’s great moments and other moments were a total belly flop. I’ve thought about it and I feel the story was weak but the acting made it better. The whole cast really came together for a solid performance but the lack of substance still shows. This could have been appreciated more had…

Movie Review – The Color Purple
—
Yes, yes! I asked myself the same darn question…. How do you turn such a dramatic story into a musical adaptation and still keep the melancholy effect? Well, Director Blitz Bazawule did just that…effortlessly. Let me describe it this way. You know how you watch a traditional movie, and the music is faintly in the background…

Movie Review – The Iron Claw
—
If Zac Efron doesn’t earn an award for this movie, I’ll be massively disappointed. His performance knocked my Santa hat off. This is not a joke, but he brought me to tears. This movie was so well done that I felt the story deep inside my bones. It’s almost like I was saturated with emotion.…

Movie Review – The Boys in the Boat
—
I found this to be a simple but compelling story. I have no idea of the real history of this event, but the way the story is told it is obvious what will happen. However, that doesn’t make it any more compelling. This movie feels more like an old made-for-TV drama. Unless you really want…

Movie Review – Migration
—
Migration had me and my granddaughter rolling with laughter. This was such a fun movie that we lost ourselves in it. There is enough humor to keep the entertainment up to level 10, we never got bored with it. They did a good job of putting humor in there that the kids will get but…

Movie Review – Anyone But You
—
Anyone But You was delightful. The two main characters (Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell) were great together, the chemistry between them oozed off of the screen. There were so many things to like. First, my favorite was the wardrobe choices. Everyone had great clothes! The setting was beautiful, what’s not to love about the coast of Australia?…

Movie Review – Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
—
DC doesn’t disappoint. By that, I mean DC has been so consistently disappointing that I’ve come to expect their movies to be disappointing, and in that way, they don’t disappoint. Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is a fitting end to the DCU, since the DCU is now itself, the Lost Kingdom. This will be the…

Movie Review – Poor Things
—
“Are we really just barbarians?”, a character whimsically asks of her friends in the film. This movie is a deeper, philosophical look at the human condition, nature vs. nurture, love, eroticism, and the impact of economic stratification. It is rare that I am truly “hooked” in the first three minutes of a film, but indeed…
