Movie Review – Boy Kills World
—
I’m trying to think of what could have been better in this movie, but nothing jumps out at me. First, there is an element of campiness to the story that excuses it from the necessity of complete realism. Like, it takes place in our reality, but not quite. There’s no magic or superhero stuff going…

Movie Review – The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
—
Going into the theater, I expected a movie that leaned into over-the-top action at the expense of plot and character development. I got the opposite. For the most part, the action was kept to a minimum, except for watching Anders go berserker mode. His action scenes were done as much for humor as action. True…

Movie Review – Abigail
—
Abigail is a thrilling experience. It blends elements of humor, blood, and guts in all the right ways. The film excels in balancing the darker aspects of its story with moments of humor, providing much-needed relief from the intense action sequences and dramatic developments. The characters’ witty dialogue and comedic timing add layers of depth…

Coming Soon: The Movie You Want To See. But First: 30 Minutes Of Trailers
—
Have you ever noticed yourself watching trailers in a theater and thought, “Wait, what movie did I come to see?” After 20-25 minutes of movie trailers, I often forget the feature film. This is especially hard for us RunPee Peeps because we’re often there to watch a movie that we’re not actually excited to see.…

Movie Review – Civil War
—
We limit ourselves here at RunPee with only one A++ rating each year, per Peep. I have no qualms about spending my only A++ of the year Civil War. Alex Garland put on a writing and directing master class in Civil War. Leading up to seeing this movie, I was both looking forward to it…

Movie Review – The First Omen
—
In all honesty, this move bored me to death. I took my granddaughter with me and she was even bored. She was hopeful for some great scary moments but it never happened. It dragged terribly and I could barely understand a word they said. They mumbled terribly and they overdid the accents. In the last…

Movie Review – Monkey Man
—
I think the first John Wick represents the very best this genre has to offer. Monkey Man follows the path of revenge storyline of John Wick fairly closely. Acting Unsurprisingly, the acting in Monkey Man is top-notch. Dev Patel is excellent, and the supporting cast all the way around is pretty good. The villains are properly despicable in their…

Movie Review – Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
—
I’m a big fan of the Monsterverse. I have enjoyed all of them, usually more than I expected. But this is probably the worst of all of the Monsterverse movies so far. I’m not saying it was bad. But I just didn’t feel the awesome that all of the other movies somehow managed to capture here…

Movie Review – Immaculate
—
Immaculate blew me away. I did not prepare myself adequately. I want to first address the graphic nature of this movie. It’s rated R for a reason. You will see things that you won’t ever forget. In order to not ruin your viewing experience, I’m not going to give you the ending, just a fair…

Netflix’s Three-body – first episode review
First, let me start with some context. I’m a born and raised in China kind of Chinese, I’m a big fan of the Three-body trilogy. In fact, they are my favourite sci-fi books ever. I read them in Chinese many times, and in an effort to get Dan to read the trilogy, I read the…
