Made before the first Fantastic Beasts movie was even a thing, this little wonder tells the story of how the two powerfulย wizards broke off their previously intense, long-running relationship.

Movie Review – The House With A Clock In Its Walls
โ
I wish this film was better. It started out lively, with some nice funky humor for a while. There were good production values throughout. Unfortunately, the story went downhill fast at the middle mark, and became a dreadful muddle by the end. I watched the children in the theater to make sure it wasn’t just…

60 Movies Standing Up To The Test Of Time
Here’sย list of my favorite films, all of which are somewhere in theย A range, or a high B. I didn’t actually include everything I’ve ever given an A to on RunPee, because they were often graded according to the target audience, and aren’t actually my personal faves. Sometimes I want to upgrade a film…

Concert Review – The Movie Music of John Williams
I’m not a huge fan of live music, but I AM a movie lover. The best, most iconic movies are usually supported by an amazing soundtrack. Think of some of the top films of our time…now imagine them without a stirring score. Imagine the 1977 Star Wars without The Imperial March, or Luke Skywalker’s Theme.ย …

Movie Review – Kin
Personally, I didn’t like this movie. I was expecting some sci-fi action and a futuristic dystopia…and what I got was a boring gangster film. Seriously, not my gig. I would have walked out if I didn’t have to cover it for RunPee. I’m actually mad at this film: it presented itself as a young-adult/sci-fi/dystopian film.…

Star Wars A New Hope – Symphony & Movie
This week I was treated to an outdoor, live symphony in San Diego (at the Embarcadero Marina Park South, August 18, 2018) playing to a large screen-film showing of Star Wars: A New Hope.ย To say it was spellbinding would be an understatement. I haven’t seen A New Hope (just called Star Wars, back in…

Star Trek Movies Lose Both Chrises
Paramount’s rebooted Star Trek movie franchise has a Chris Crisis. Or maybe we should call thisย A Tale of Two Chrises.ย As of this week, the current Trek feature films lost both of their actors named Chris — as in Pine (James T. Kirk) and Hemsworth (James T. Kirk’s late father George).ย Both men reportedly walked…

Sorry YA movies that never finished their franchises
I’m the member of the RunPee family who LOVES the YA (young adult) Dystopian/Fantasy genre. Harry Potter is still an obsession for me (and I’m 50). I re-read The Hunger Games every year, and watch the franchise even more. I even thinkย Twilight was decent, although The Host was better. So, what’s the deal with this…

Movie Review – The Darkest Minds
โ
Here is yet another Young Adult Dystopian film that feels a lot like many others that came out of last decade’s love affair with young people who are either 1. the Chosen Ones or who have 2. Superpowers. Sometimes both apply. These characters even ask themselves what Harry Potter characters they would be in “real…
