Movie Review – Five Nights at Freddy’s
—
Five Nights at Freddy’s surprised me. After watching the trailers, I figured this would be a bloody slasher film. There was actually a lot of depth to it, and the story was quite intriguing. I enjoyed it a lot more than I initially expected. My problem with the movie was the casting. The acting was…

Movie Review – Freelance
—
So far, Freelance has a 0% on RottenTomatoes from the critics with 14 reviews in. What exactly did they expect? There’s no question that this isn’t a great movie if you’re comparing it to, you know, all movies ever. But for what it tries to be, it does a pretty good job. No one will…

Movie Review – Dicks: The Musical
—
Wow, OK, here goes nothing in writing my very first movie review for RunPee App fans. It is indeed an honor that the review could, by pure happenstance, be this movie. In the words of one of the creators, “They don’t make movies like this anymore.” I wholeheartedly agree! So, to point out that the…

Movie Review – Killers of the Flower Moon
—
If you don’t want to read any spoilers before seeing this movie then I can just say that I found the movie to be shallow and unnecessarily long. These characters were real-life people. I can’t write a proper movie review without getting into the characters and their actions so there will be spoilers ahead. You’ve…

Movie Review – The Miracle Club
—
Two weeks running I have got to see a new film with some old, established faces. Not specifically old as in of advanced years, more a question of having a vast and venerable body of work behind them. Last week it was Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson in The Great Escaper. This week it was…

Movie Review – The Great Escaper
This was one of those films that I went to see with my wife. We had a nice lunch and went for an afternoon showing. Before going we had imagined it was going to be along the same lines as The Last Bus or The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. To be honest, I had…

Movie Review – The Exorcist: Believer
—
The Exorcist: Believer, the highly anticipated sequel to the horror classic, unleashes a terrifying tale that will leave audiences trembling. Directed by a master of suspense, this movie brings a fresh twist to the possessed genre. One standout element is the stellar performance by Ellen Burstyn, who not only delivers a convincing portrayal of a…

Movie Review – Dumb Money
—
I think the obvious comparison is to liken this movie to others such as The Big Short, Margin Call, et al. If you’re familiar with those movies then I’d say that this one isn’t nearly as dark. The events around Game Stop in 2020/21 are tragic to a few, rewarding for more than a few, and game-changing for an…

Movie Review – Saw X
—
Saw X is by far the most sedate of the entire franchise. My 10-year-old granddaughter begged me to take her and I finally caved. I had really tried to talk her out of it because if there was one thing I was sure of, his torture devices would scar her for life. Let’s fast forward halfway…

Movie Review – The Creator
—
This is a tough movie to review because there’s so much to unpack. Sad by probably true With all of the recent advancements in AI/Machine Learning (ML) it really feels that stories like this are moving from science fiction to this shit is about to get real. Robots and AI aren’t something that are over the horizon anymore.…
