Movie Review – Spirit Untamed
Spirit Untamed was exactly what we were all looking for. On the opening show we — myself, Runpee Mom, my daughter, and my granddaughter — went to see Spirit on the big screen. All four of us have seen every episode numerous times, due to the fact that my granddaughter worships horses and loves Spirit.…

Movie Review – The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

As expected, I thought the movie was great. I’m a die-hard fan of this franchise and I’ve got zero complaints on The Devil Made Me Do It. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] The Warrens investigate a murder that may be linked to demonic possession.[/su_spoiler] Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson were marvelous. The way they have brought Ed…

James Bond Rewatch – Live and Let Die (1973)
—
Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond, and Live & Let Die is my favorite Bond film. Do you remember your 1st Bond film in the theater? (Mine was 1979’s Moonraker, which has SPACE in it, and thus I loved it.) So it’s natural that Moore was ‘my’ Bond. Moore also did the most Bond…

Movie Review – Cruella
Let me start by apologizing for not being able to do Peetimes on the opening night, cause I got sick in the theater. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] A live-action prequel feature film following a young Cruella de Vil.[/su_spoiler] Dan and I went back and watched it together the next day, and we both agreed this movie…

Movie Review – A Quiet Place Part II
—
A Quiet Place 2 is like a delicious sauce left to simmer until only the essentials remain; at under 90 minutes runtime, not counting the end credits, it walks the fine line between not one scene feeling rushed, nor one that drags on longer than necessary. It is a masterful work of storytelling. [su_spoiler title=”Plot…

Movie Franchise Rewatch Analysis – Star Trek: Nemesis
—
I haven’t finished my Star Trek franchise rewatch yet, but I’m pretty sure this is the worst stinker in the 13 movie run. I was pleasantly surprised by most of The Final Frontier being better than I remembered. And while I need to rewatch Into Darkness to see how it fared over time in comparison,…

Movie Review – Dream Horse

The supporting cast did a great job. The different personalities and viewpoints were on-spot. The chemistry flowed flawlessly, adding another layer to the film. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] Dream Alliance is an unlikely racehorse bred by small-town Welsh bartender Jan Vokes. With no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help…

Movie Review – Here Today
—
Here Today blew me away. The story was gut-wrenchingly sad and so perfectly acted by Billy Crystal. It felt like in each and every scene, he was my own father going through it. My emotions were right there with Charlie. Top-notch performance! [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] When veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz meets New York street…

Movie Review – Those Who Wish Me Dead
—
Have you ever had your friend tell you a story that they were excited about but sounds bland to you and they end with, “I don’t do it justice, it’s better if you were there”? This is that kind of movie. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] A teenage murder witness finds himself pursued by twin assassins in…

Movie Review – Finding You
—
Drama/romance movies, made for a young adult audience, typically litter the C-grade reviews here at RunPee. Let’s face it, these are not made to be award-winning movies. They are cheaply made movies that attract a limited audience not known for their discerning tastes. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] Finley, a talented aspiring violinist, meets Beckett, a famous…
