—
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.

Movie Review – Before I Fall
—
Before I saw this movie, I had geared myself up for a saccharine chick flick. However, instead I saw a well written, well directed, and well acted movie. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie for all age groups. Grade: A About The Peetimes: Before I Fall is a nicely paced movie, allowing for two good Peetimes…

Movie Review – Power Rangers
—
I’m giving Power Rangers an ‘A’ for one reason only: the audience. At my theater, the audience was very involved with the movie. They clapped, cheered, booed, and laughed themselves silly. This was the first showing for the movie at my theater, and I was stunned at the long line waiting to get seated. The…

Movie Review – Get Out – Jordan Peele Hits A Home Run
—
Jordan Peele hit a home run with his first attempt at writing and directing. Get Out was a refreshing look at the horror genre, and I can’t wait to see more of his creative juices. The movie was both frightening and funny, often at the same time. The acting was good, the pacing was perfect,…

Movie Review – The LEGO Batman Movie – One of the BEST Batman films, ever
I liked this better than the original Lego Movie – this one is skewed a little more sophisticated for the grownups – but still has lots of color and spectacle for the kiddos. It’s a very charming film, with a surprisingly good storyline. Things move quickly, and there is a lot to see, making you…

Movie Review – A Dog’s Purpose – A Brutal Experience in Non-Stop Crying
This was a hard movie to rate, because I feel so angry at the producers for even making this emotionally manipulative sob fest. Nobody should see this. The target audience: people who love dogs beyond measure, AND don’t mind crying almost nonstop for an entire film. I can’t even begin to describe how painful this…

Movie Review – Split
M. Night Shyamalan is back, and has brought with him what is likely the best movie he’ll ever make. The down side is that it was released so early in the year, and the Oscar committee has a ridiculously short memory. For certain, James McAvoy deserves an Oscar nod for his role, as Kevin Crumb,…

Movie Review – La La Land
—
As always, I address my reviews to the target audience. If you enjoy musicals, La La Land will be your favorite movie of the year. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were so absolutely adorable, and their on screen chemistry just about set the film on fire. If you’re not a fan of musicals there’s no…

Movie Review – Passengers
Grade: A+ I am exhausted from a long, late night movie, so I will be short and sweet tonite. Mainly, I want to say: SEE THIS FILM. I never give an A+ rating, and this movie deserves it. Chris Pratt is a treasure; Jennifer Lawrence brings her A-game, and this movie is a pure delightful mix…
