Let me start off by saying I’m not into historical movies. I prefer to walk into a theater and be amused or scared for a couple of hours. If I wanted to learn about a specific historical event, I’d pick up a book and read about it.
That’s why Runpee Dan usually doesn’t send me to watch these. I’m not the target audience here. Let me stop right there. Not only did I love this movie, I actually came home and looked up some of this info I gathered, and researched it more.
Not being a history buff put me at a disadvantage. The movie starts off quickly, and I realized soon that I didn’t have the knowledge base this movie requires. So yes, for about the first hour, I was lost. The movie did a great job though of helping me connect all of the dots, and my light bulb went off. By the last half of the movie, I was on the same page and was restlessly waiting to see how it unfolded.

The acting was top notch. The story, heartbreaking as it was, was magnificently told. The directing was spot on also. It’s movies like this that impress me. You take a story that’s not quite up your alley and display it in such a way that it grabs the viewer and captivates them. Now that’s what Hollywood is supposed to do. Great job!!
Grade: A-
About The Peetimes: This is a long movie folks, and confusing to a person not up on their history. This was an extremely hard movie to get Peetimes, for but I got 3 pretty good ones. I do strongly suggest you use the earlier ones. The last half is jammed packed with info.

about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
