Movies have a unique ability to provoke profound contemplation on existential and spiritual matters, leading viewers to ponder the concept of God. Filmmakers often use visual and narrative mediums to explore questions about faith, purpose, and the human condition. Whether through allegorical tales, philosophical discussions, or the portrayal of transcendent experiences, movies can catalyze introspection and open a space for viewers to grapple with their beliefs.
In certain films, the exploration of moral dilemmas, the search for meaning, or portraying extraordinary events can evoke a sense of the divine. The cinematic medium allows for depicting mystical or supernatural elements that prompt audiences to reflect on the mysteries of existence. Through powerful storytelling and compelling visuals, movies can stimulate discussions about spirituality, ethics, and the interconnectedness of life, encouraging viewers to engage with questions that resonate with the concept of God and the metaphysical aspects of human existence.

The Shift completely nails it. I could feel the message they were trying to convey, and the cast could too. Neal McDonough as The Benefactor was his best role yet. He was The Benefactor. He made the character! That was a joy to watch. His scenes were my favorite of the whole movie. Kristoffer Polaha as Kevin was just as good but in the opposite way. His character struggles but never gives up. They were both a joy to watch.
I highly recommend this movie, my fingers are crossed that it receives the praise it deserves.
Grade: A
About The Peetimes: I have 2 Peetimes for you. I strongly urge you to use the 1st Peetime, the rest of the movie has such a strong message that trying to summarize it is almost impossible.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Shift.

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.
