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. That said, Finding You did better than most in its genre. The…

Make a Pitcher of Margaritas for your Cinco de Mayo Movie Marathon (with a Latinx themed film list)
Our RunPee British correspondent never had a margarita. At least not yet. I’m helping him fix this massive oversight, but he probably won’t like them: margs — and tequila — might be an acquired Mexican taste. Or rather, a part of Americana that’s been stolen borrowed from our neighbors South of the Border. Still,…

Movie Review – The Secret Garden (2020)
—
I’m a huge Secret Garden fan and have been since a wonderful teacher read it chapter by chapter to my rapt class in the 4th grade. It’s on my top ten list of favorite children’s books, and will be getting a reread review this year as I work through my stack of morning yoga reads.…

10 Movies About Authors That Will Inspire You To Write
There’s a reason good movies about authors aren’t common; while their creations can be an awe-inspiring journey into fantastical lands or a hard look into fictitious or non-fictitious pasts, the process itself lacks the excitement big screen productions need to succeed. The anger and frustration of producing written works is internalised and difficult to express,…

Movie Review – Godzilla vs. Kong
—
[No Spoilers] Thank gawd. It didn’t suck. Godzilla vs King Kong looked epic in the previews and I’d say it lived up to expectation. Which is a relief because the last movie, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, was pretty awful, especially the plot and acting, and writing, and the monster fight scenes didn’t wow me…

Godzilla vs Kong — Get ready for the Monsterverse finale with these modern-era Kaiju and Kong reviews
Godzilla vs Kong opens next week and at RunPee we’re very excited. Kong, the King himself, has a very special place in our hearts, since when RunPee Dan and I saw Peter Jackson’s King Kong in 2005 we came up with the entire idea for RunPee (go during the Valley of the Bugs scene —…

Indie Movie Review – Werewolf (Wilkołak)
I’m ashamed to say that I know very little about Poland. I know nothing about the arts, the culture, the history, or the people. I once knew a woman of Polish descent, but that would be a bit like me saying I’m of German descent… theoretically true, but practically pointless. All I know for sure…

How to write a Movie review guide for dummies
—
Film reviews are a point of interest for all. Whether you are the audience, a filmmaker, or an actor, writing and reading film reviews can sharpen your ability to critically analyze and evaluate. Once you start writing reviews, you can look beyond the prominent aspects of a filmmaking, e.g., the costume designs. Did you ever…

No Watch Film Review – The Butterfly Effect (We can’t watch this movie again. Here’s Why.)
So as Groundhog Day rapidly approaches the people of the United States (honestly, before the film, I’d never heard of it and I think that is true for most people outside the USA), we’ve been doing rewatches or reviews of films that use the time loop trope. Some fit the Groundhog Day format better, while others are peripheral…
