| NEW Wide Release Movie Review -- Freaky So what they did in Freaky was take a horror theme and add a ton of comedy into it. Vince Vaughn nailed it. He was awesome to watch as a girl: the fun they had with the body switching was hilarious. Want to de-stress during these crazy times? Support your local movie theater this week, and go have some Freaky fun! Movie Grade: A+ Read full review |

 | Current & Coming Creative Blumhouse Horror Movies With Freaky released in all open theaters to great acclaim (our Horror Expert RunPee Sis gave it a rare A+ -- see review link above), this is a good time to look at movies past, present, and in production from this prolific, popular, and downright trippy movie house. Blumhouse is known for producing creative, low-budget horror films (Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Happy Death Day, Get Out, and most recently The Invisible Man). So, whenever they come out with a new title, it’s worth taking note. While Blumhouse certainly produces things other than horror flicks (Whiplash, BlacKKKlansman, and The Normal Heart — all worth your time), for the purposes of this article, we’re just going to focus on the scary stuff. Here's *everything* you can look forward to soon. Read full article |
 | The decade of 2010s when female protagonists said #MeToo to Science Fiction Science fiction has long been dominated by male protagonists. But times are a changin’. Some of the most outstanding science fiction of the 2010s featured women as either the hero or as equal partners alongside a male counterpart. Here's seven recent sci-fi female-led favorites. You've probably seen every one of these films, and should add the others to your Watch List, because they're all excellent stories, gender aside. Read full article |
 | Movie Short Review: Dear Guest How can an 11 minute film be so good? It takes longer to brew coffee than watch this gem of a short. We encourage you to give it a quick watch, in the hopes the director will turn this superb start into a full length creepster piece about...well...staying at an AirBnB. ;-) Grade: A- Read full review |
 | Indie Short Movie Review – Wives Of The Skies Since we just reviewed an 11 minute short above, we thought we'd cover another hidden jewel of a short again. "Wives" clocks in at 20 minutes (twice as long as Dear Guest, above), but has a totally different ambience. It's set in a nostalgic 60's era of sexy stewardesses, framed by a mockumentary conceit. It's wacky, it's sexist (on purpose), it's even comedically seedy -- and has fun little grace notes that are extremely entertaining to look for. If you watch Wives as a double feature with Dear Guest, you'll have some excellent entertainment that takes only a half hour out of your day. Off you go! Grade: A- Read full review |
 | Indie Movie Review – The Tent (no spoilers) This full length limited release film is not what you expect. You can watch the trailer all night -- and actually, most of the movie -- and it's STILL not Birdbox or A Quiet Place. But it's almost as enjoyable, making creepy use of an inexpensive setting entirely in the woods, and two intense, low-key, and believable performances. See if you can figure out the secret of what's stalking the eponymous tent. #ThinkOutsideTheTent Grade: B- Read full review |
 | Weekly progress diary on RunPee:NX We are rebuilding the RunPee app from scratch using Google Flutter. Here's a brief report on our weekly progress: I'm still working on the Peeple's Poll. This is really the last major feature to add to RunPee:NX. Well, this and in-app purchases, but in-app purchases will be cake compared to the Peeple's Poll. Good news, you'll be able to edit your grades in case you make a mistake, or change your mind. |
