Movie Review – Overlord
Overlord wasn’t bad; it wasn’t great but it definitely wasn’t bad. At moments it bordered on campy, and then would flow back into a shoot ’em up thriller. It reminded me of the video games my husband plays. It has that type of feel, not quite real, but with a …
Every Harry Potter Film, Ranked, Including Fantastic Beasts
RunPee has an early showing of Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald next Tuesday, November 13th, three days before the film officially opens. I’ll be attending in full Hogwarts robes, with my cherished Elder Wand, getting early Peetimes. In any case, this is as good a time as any …
Movie Review – The Girl in the Spider’s Web
It’s a sad fact: sometimes a good book can make a not so good movie. Such is the case of The Girl in the Spider’s Web. The pacing was frenetic, making the plot hard to follow. There were scenes that went by so quickly, I hardly had time to incorporate them …
Virgin Movie Review – Get Smart
Maybe I’ve been watching too many spy movies this month, but I was bored during this otherwise okay comedy spy film. We have a lot of US spy films, like the Mission Impossible series, RED 1 and 2, the Patriot Games trilogy, and Jason Bourne’s franchise. I recently reviewed a …
Pixar Fast Fact Video – Easter Eggs in Incredibles 2
Be happy, Pixar fans, as the galaxy’s best animated superhero movie sequel is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray. To remind you how good Incredibles 2 is, I’m introducing you to a duo of video superheros themselves, the Super Carlin Brothers. These guys love Pixar, and came up with the mind-blowing, probably …
Virgin Movie Review – RED 2
Well, now. I recently re-watched RED 1, and loved it. I gave it an A. So maybe you can understand my disappointment when I say this sequel was the pits. It made almost no sense, even with Anthony Hopkins doing his usual bang-up performance, acting his heart out in a …
Movie ReWatch Review – RED
To start with, the title RED in this film is an acronym for Retired, Extremely Dangerous. As retirees, we see these characters don’t have much of a life anymore. That’s the set-up, starting with Bruce Willis’ Frank Moses, lost in an empty house devoid of personal decor. I can see …
Best Rock, Pop Songs in Non-Musical Movies
If you love movies, you’re probably an aficionado of films using rock or pop hits in their stories as well. You can put this mental connection to good use if you run playlists on Alexa/Google Home/cell phone/whatever, loading it up to play songs evoking your favorite films. Use the lists …
Movie Rewatch Review – Deadpool
What is it about popular films on TV and their commercials? It seems the more beloved the film, the greater the number of ads. Watching Deadpool with my mother last night, the commercials came hot and heavy every few minutes — I’m positive at least 45 minutes of runtime were …
Once More, with Ant Man. Why him, and why now?
With Ant Man & The Wasp now released on DVD and Blu-Ray, people are struck again with how this movie might tie in with the greater Marvel oeuvre, and wonder anew why the light-weight Ant Man 2 arrived so closely after the heavy ending of Infinity War. — Spoilers ahead for …
Avengers 4 Trailer Hints and Rumors
Several people online are reporting in with seeing the as-yet untitled Avengers 4 trailer, which is expected to drop by mid-November. Here’s the link to the extended observations of the Avengers 4 trailer, possibly titled Avengers: Annihilation. The notes are detailed and sound authentic enough, given the final events of Avengers: Infinity War. Keep in …
Review of The Deadpool Before Christmas – A PG-13 Version – New Footage, New Film
Santa Claus has a super duper maxi big treat for us this Christmas, with an almost-new Deadpool 2 arriving in theaters on December 21. Ryan Reynolds is back in the red suit, just like Santa, re-shooting 15 minutes of original footage, dubbing creatively subversive, yet clean lines for the “new” …
Movie Rewatch Review – Solo (A Star Wars Story)
I don’t know why so many Star Wars fans have a problem with Solo. All I can think of is that it was released too close to The Last Jedi, which really incited the fan base. Otherwise, I can’t imagine why this excellent film was panned. I loved it, and …
What is a MacGuffin? Top Movie MacGuffins, Explained
A MacGuffin is any object that drives the plot and motivates the characters in a movie. You might have seen the name “MacGuffins” over bar bistros in the lobbies of many AMC theaters. That’s an industry in-joke. It sounds like the name of an Irish pub, but it’s really a …
Virgin Movie Review – Independence Day 2: Resurgence
What did I just watch? This movie was incoherent. It’s probably better if you recently did a rewatch of the original Independence Day film before viewing 2016’s Resurgence, but I can’t be sure if this is just me not paying enough attention, or the movie being made mostly of nonsense. In …
Virgin Movie Review – Guardian
Well, this was a typical disaster film that somehow I missed on the first round. I LOVE disaster movies, and thrillers, of which Guardian managed to tick on both boxes. The problem here is that it wasn’t much of a film, being both derivative and predictable. The lead actors seemed …
Hit Song From the Movie Smallfoot – Let It Lie – by Common (with Lyrics)
I loved the animated Smallfoot, and even gave it a coveted A+ rating. One of the highlights that pushed it that stratospheric score are the appealing songs through out. The absolute, 100% standout number, goes to Let It Lie, sang by the StoneKeeper (the singer Common). I listen to a daily, …
Guardians of the Galaxy Song – Guardians Inferno Video and Lyrics
The Guardians of the Galaxy, Vols 1 and 2, are already beloved movie icons, both inside and outside the geek crowd. As a big part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, their reach extends from Disney theme parks, with the hugely popular Guardian’s Breakout ride, to this little gem of a …
Quiz – Stephen King’s The Stand
I’ve wanted to do a quiz on The Stand since I first read the book. I’ll describe a character and you supply their name. Hope you have as much fun taking this quiz as I had in making it! The movie of The Stand didn’t impress me nearly as much …
Quiz – The Hunt for Red October
Hunter Killer is going gangbusters at the box office. Since everyone is excited about this movie, I should pay homage to the submarine genre by doing a quiz on The Hunt For Red October. The Hunt For Red October is a timeless piece of cinema history. I’ve seen this movie a …
Fact or Fiction – First Man and Neil Armstrong
First Man is a surprising film. It’s surprisingly devoid of excitement, I mean. Instead of a rousing tale of man’s journey to the moon, it focuses narrowly on life through the eyes of the taciturn and insular Neil Armstrong. He’s a strange choice to be awarded the honor of the first …
Movie Review – Johnny English Strikes Again
This movie wants to be Austin Powers. It’s the same set-up, the same cringe humor, the same British secret service bumbler who nevertheless gets the job done (in spite of his inherent ineptitude). The difference: Austin Powers is ten times more amusing. Rowan Atkinson tries, and sometimes succeeds, but mostly …
Movie Review – Hunter Killer
It’s movies like this that make me love my job. I went in expecting to be bored since this type of movie never appealed to me. After watching this one, I am going to take the weekend to watch Hunt For Red October and any other submarine movie I can …
Movie Review – Indivisible
I’m wondering, has the Hollywood ‘think tank’ gone dry? I wonder this because it seems that every other movie RunPee covers is based on a true story. That’s okay, if the movie has a good story behind it, it can be enjoyable. Not so true for Indivisible. The story behind this …
Why There Won’t be a Sequel to Cabin in the Woods
If you’ve seen Cabin in the Woods and enjoyed it, you’ll probably love Bad Times at the El Royale. Both are directed by Drew Goddard, and he uses the same kind of narrative deconstruction technique in each. Cabin in the Woods is a sardonically amusing take on the typical “teens in …
