Movie Review – Going in Style
—
Zach Braff does an excellent job reviving the 1979 movie of the same name, starring Art Carney and George Burns. The replacement actors (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin) brought their A game, and gave us a fresh look at an old classic. Critics will say this is a tired plot that’s been done…

—
A all the way. When I was a little girl, next to Scooby Doo, the Smurfs was my favorite cartoon. So, as I sat there watching this movie and hearing my granddaughter laugh her little butt off, it made me smile. We both really enjoyed it. She was glued to the screen like a life…

I don’t even know how to rate this one. For the record, I absolutely hated it. I’m even the target audience, according to the trailers, as I LOVE science fiction and space movies. However, you should all know this is a straight body horror film, with gristly, gruesome, and horrific scenes occurring frequently once the…

Movie Review – Beauty and The Beast (live action version)
The live action Beauty and The Beast is competent, but not hugely compelling.

Movie Review – Logan
The best X-Man movie yet, Logan is a character-driven drama that uplifts the superhero genre. Hugh Jackman, an outspoken fan of RunPee (he tweeted that he checks RunPee for his own movies), gives us the perfect swan song for his iconic Wolverine character.

—
With a new King Kong movie just out, we thought this would be a good time to kickstart this blog with a look back on how it all began at RunPee – with a King Kong movie in 2005. Kind of full circle. Here’s our review of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.
