Movie Review – Paddington in Peru
—
The first two Paddington films set an incredibly high bar for family entertainment. They managed to capture both the whimsy of Michael Bond’s beloved character while adding layers of social commentary that resonated with adults. This third installment seems to miss that delicate balance. I don’t remember much about the first Paddington movie other than…

The MCU’s latest entry struggles to find its footing, before it stumbles and falls on its face. Anthony Mackie delivers a strong performance and Isaiah Bradley’s presence adds depth, the movie struggles with execution in ways that even the most dedicated Marvel fans might find hard to overlook. Boring “I was bored.” That’s what my…

Movie Review – Heart Eyes

Before I begin my review, let me share some fascinating facts I’ve recently come across. Runpee has been in operation for over 16 years, during which approximately 1,300 to 2,000 horror films have been released.

Movie Review – Love Hurts
—
Overview There were a few things to enjoy. I liked The Raven and Ashely plot line, and it was fun seeing Marshawn “Beastmode” Lynch on screen.

Movie Review – Flight Risk
—
Flight Risk directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, starts off a bit shaky but really picks up steam as it goes along. Some people have called it a bad movie, but I had a great time watching it! Wahlberg gives a strong performance, but the real standout for me was Topher Grace. He…

Movie Review – One of Them Days
—
Oh boy, “One of Them Days” had me laughing so hard, I nearly bought a new diaphragm! Keke Palmer as Dreux? Absolute genius – the way she delivers those punchlines and her body language? Pure comedy gold. Seriously, it’s like she has a PhD in funny! Now, let’s talk about her bestie, SZA (Alyssa). Bless…

Movie Review – September 5

It is extremely rare that I watch a movie that seems virtually flawless, but this is one of them. It follows the tragic events at the 1972 Summer Olympics when Israeli hostages were brutally held against their will by a terrorist group (Black September). As a child, I remember watching the crisis unfold on TV…
