Movie Review – Back to Black
—
Back to Black left me speechless. Marisa Abela nailed that role. I kept forgetting that I wasn’t actually watching Amy Winehouse. She perfected Amy’s mannerisms and voice. It was an absolute delight watching her take control. I’ve been a fan of Amy Winehouse from the very beginning, she had the most beautiful way of singing.…

Movie Review – IF
—
If greatly disappointed me. Ryan Reynolds is one of the top actors in the world, everything he touches turns to gold. That’s why I was so excited to see IF. I don’t know what happened but it was so dull and lifeless that the children I took weren’t even watching the movie. I noticed as…

Movie Review – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
—
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a great start to what I’m hoping will be at least a trilogy. I’m absolutely enamored with these movies. I miss Caesar but they’ve done a great job of bringing the new ape characters to life. You develop feelings for them very quickly. There is a great deal of humor…

Movie Review – Tarot
—
Tarot, the name of this movie, can be credited as the best thing about it. While the movie had a healthy pace and an interesting storyline, the acting was forced at best, and it was exceptionally predictable. I’m all over these types of movies, and I couldn’t leave fast enough. If you are looking for…

Movie Review – The Fall Guy
—
Going in I had higher than normal expectations based on the cast, Emily Blunt, Ryan Gosling, et al., and Director David Leitch’s previous successes with action/humor movies such as Bullet Train, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. I’m happy to report that I didn’t feel a shred of disappointment. The story is engaging…

Movie Review – The Da Vinci Code (extended version)
—
If there’s anything better than The Da Vinci Code it’s the extended Da Vinci Code. The extended version adds about 25 minutes of extra footage and clocks a total runtime of three hours. In truth, there are only a few extra scenes. The majority of the extra runtime is comes from extending existing scenes for a…

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.…
