Indie Movie Review – Skinwalker
Skinwalker starts off by telling us that we are in the Arizona High Country in 1883. Two grizzled chaps, Benny (Nathaniel Burns) and Hugo (Robert Conway), are creeping through the woods, rifles drawn, looking like they’re out hunting — when they happen across what appears to be a body on a wooden trellis. One of…

Movie Review – 12 Mighty Orphans
The release of 12 Mighty Orphans is perfectly timed for football fans out there clamoring for their football fix. Football news might encircle the calendar these days, but that only teases the appetite until games begin in the fall. Make no mistake, 12 Mighty Orphans is first and foremost an inspirational story, but there is…

Movie Review – The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard
If the plot for Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard were a character, it would have been shot in the head and buried in lava within the first 5 minutes. Not only is the plot bad, as the movie goes on it becomes clear that it was bad on purpose, as evidence of a heavy-handed, early 007 approach…

Movie Rewatch Review – Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
First off, with regards to The First Avenger, I’m surprised we didn’t have a review for this up years ago. We fully believed we’d reviewed everything in the MCU. A RunPee fan just pointed out this gap. So here the review is. Thoughts before the First Avenger rewatch I admit this is my least favorite…

The Big James Bond Rewatch – Thunderball (1965)
I tried watching the Bond films in order with my father years ago. He even bought me the whole series on DVD. We only made it halfway through Goldfinger before getting interrupted. I didn’t see all of Goldfinger until it played in cinemas again a few years ago. So I’ve been meaning to get to…

Movie Review – Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
—
This charming sequel is just as fun as the first. Peter is still a mischievous little bunny, but he wants to be better. A good morality story is intertwined with wild antics to keep the kiddies entertained. But make no mistake, this is a kiddy movie. There’s not much to entertain older kids and adults.…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – For Your Eyes Only (1981)
I don’t think it is any secret that, in my ever so humble opinion, Roger Moore was the worst Bond ever. Hell’s teeth, I even think Woody Allen and Daliah Lavi made a better fist of the job. But I know that there are fans of the Moore-era, as will be seen when my editor…

Movie Review – In the Heights
—
Ignoring the song and dance for a moment, I found the story to be about as predictable as a child’s fairy tale, and in a way that’s how the story is presented as the movie opens with the main character telling the story to a small group of children. However, as predictable as it is,…

James Bond Rewatch – Goldfinger (1965)
Jill, Rob, and I are reviewing the entire James Bond series in celebration and anticipation of Daniel Craig’s final Bond outing No Time to Die. When Jill, Rob, and I did a draft to divide up the Bond reviews, this movie was my first choice. I picked last and was surprised it was still available. …
