Movie Review – Unhinged
—
This is a hard movie to watch. With everything going on in the world right now… Well, let me just say that if you think your opinion of people could use a kick in the pants, then this movie will do just that. But, that’s not to say the movie doesn’t have some (little) merit.…

As we know, movie theaters are shuttered, due to mounting case totals of CoVid-19. Happily, drive-in theaters are relevant again and seeing a filmatic resurgence.

Classic Movie Review — Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Mike Myers has the best chemistry with himself. This carries through the Austin Powers trilogy, where in each film he plays more versions of himself than before.

Null Movies are a thing After many weeks discussing how we grade movies at RunPee, from A+ through F-, I thought I was done. But NOT SO FAST! There’s an even worse film than the lowly F-. How about a null score that statistically nobody has a good thing to say about it? It’s so…

Classic Movie Review – Austin Powers and should you watch it with your kids?
The first is the best film in the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery James Bond spoof threquel. I’m pleased to see the simplest, most original tale stuck the landing best. NOTE: All Classic Movie Reviews have spoilers. I’d have been happy to keep Vanessa as a “married” Bond girl in the next movies, but…

Ta-dum! Netflix has a new extended theme composed by Hans Zimmer
—
The Netflix “Ta-dum” theme is short and to the point. I like it. But they couldn’t leave well enough alone so Netflix convinced (and I’m sure paid) Hans Zimmer a handsome amount, to make an extended version of their theme. You can watch/listen below. What do you think? Better, worse, indifferent? Let us know in…
