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…

Movie Review – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
—
I didn’t have high hopes, but this was better than I expected. That isn’t a surprise because Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was co-written and directed by Jason Reitman—the son of Ivan Reitman who directed the first Ghostbusters. Jason has missed the mark with a few of his movies. What writer/director hasn’t? But he’s hit it out of…

Movie Review – The American Society of Magical Negroes
—
“Welcome to the American Society of Magical Negroes!” is said to Aren (Justice Smith) as his world has now completely shifted from the mundane to now possessing magical powers, a la “Men in Black”. (In fact, both films use “erasing your memory” as the ultimate punishment when banished from their respective societies). Anyway, Aren now…
