Classic Movie Review – Ghostbusters
It’s hard to review really great movies, especially super amazing classics that are A+++ and can do not wrong. I want to do justice to them in the reviewing, and that’s a lot of pressure. Anyway, Ghostbusters is one of those films that in spite of how silly the premise is — or that it…

How movies get C Grades at RunPee
To start with: a C grade isn’t considered a bad movie. It’s just not a good one. It’s average. It can be mediocre, vanilla, fluffy, lightweight, ponderous — or most condemning of all: boring. But in all, these are watchable films. And since every movie is somebody’s favorite, we try to look for the positive…

Movie Review – The Way Back
I try to write spoiler free reviews, but this time it’s unavoidable. You’ve been warned. I don’t want anyone to be mislead going in. This isn’t a feel-good story. There’s basketball in the movie, but it isn’t about basketball. And it doesn’t have a happy ever after ending. This movie is about the demon of…

Movie Review – Seberg
—
An absolute stunning portrayal of a shocking travesty. I feel my previous line says it all, but let’s go a little deeper, starting with Kristen Stewart’s performance.
