Movie Review – Gifted
—
Grade – A RunPee Mom starts: Gifted unfolds beautifully, and just keeps getting better. The cast was excellent, and the chemistry between the main characters was palpable. There were tender moments and humorous moments. This is a great movie for audiences of all ages. Jill, RunPee Co-Creator adds: This is the second movie this year…

Movie Review – Ghost in the Shell
—
Grade: A- This is a really, really pretty movie. It’s also a seamless use of CGI, and I’m normally really hard on films that rely extensively on computer animation. It totally works in this one. Ghost in the Shell is an origin story for a comic book character called Major, and apparently this isn’t a…

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…

Movie Review – Smurfs: The Lost Village
—
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…

Movie Review – The Fate of the Furious – F8
I’ve been waiting on pins and needle for this movie. I know I said exactly this for the previous movie of F7. It still holds true. Let me start off with the fact that I’m probably one of the biggest fans of this franchise. I’ve seen everyone of them on opening day, and had vowed my…

Movie Review – The Zookeeper’s Wife
—
The Zookeeper’s Wife isn’t for everyone. Animal lovers may be excited to see this movie, but I’ll warn you now: this is a gut wrenching movie and not for the faint of heart, especially for the above mentioned animal lovers. The sight of caged animals blown apart by bombs, or brutally shot by Nazi soldiers,…

Movie Review – The Boss Baby – Adults Love This More Than Infants
Boss Baby is hilarious. It is packed with adult humor that will keep the parents laughing, and the children will enjoy the younger humor used too. I do feel that it’s more geared towards adults than children. They’ll still enjoy it, though. I took my four year-old granddaughter to see it. She has more energy…

Movie Review – 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.
