Movie Review – Priscilla
—
A24 did it again. They left me scratching my head and asking, “What did I just see?” I have a long-running love/hate relationship with their movies. I’ve learned that I need to keep an open mind and watch them spin their tale to the very end. I will admit that I gave them reviews that…

Movie Review – What Happens Later
—
It was charming to see two of my favorite actors from my early adulthood back on the big screen. But, David Duchovny and Meg Ryan are old now so that means I’m… That can’t be right. 🙂 If it wasn’t apparent from the movie preview, this is like a two-person play. The only other person…

Documentary Review – After Death
—
Writing a review on a documentary is way different than writing one for a movie. I think the way I’ll sum it up is if you are interested in what happens after you die, or more to the point, a near-death experience, check out this production. It delves deeply into the unknown. There are a…

Movie Review – Five Nights at Freddy’s
—
Five Nights at Freddy’s surprised me. After watching the trailers, I figured this would be a bloody slasher film. There was actually a lot of depth to it, and the story was quite intriguing. I enjoyed it a lot more than I initially expected. My problem with the movie was the casting. The acting was…

Movie Review – Freelance
—
So far, Freelance has a 0% on RottenTomatoes from the critics with 14 reviews in. What exactly did they expect? There’s no question that this isn’t a great movie if you’re comparing it to, you know, all movies ever. But for what it tries to be, it does a pretty good job. No one will…

Movie Review – Dicks: The Musical
—
Wow, OK, here goes nothing in writing my very first movie review for RunPee App fans. It is indeed an honor that the review could, by pure happenstance, be this movie. In the words of one of the creators, “They don’t make movies like this anymore.” I wholeheartedly agree! So, to point out that the…

Movie Review – Killers of the Flower Moon
—
If you don’t want to read any spoilers before seeing this movie then I can just say that I found the movie to be shallow and unnecessarily long. These characters were real-life people. I can’t write a proper movie review without getting into the characters and their actions so there will be spoilers ahead. You’ve…

Movie Review – The Exorcist: Believer
—
The Exorcist: Believer, the highly anticipated sequel to the horror classic, unleashes a terrifying tale that will leave audiences trembling. Directed by a master of suspense, this movie brings a fresh twist to the possessed genre. One standout element is the stellar performance by Ellen Burstyn, who not only delivers a convincing portrayal of a…

Movie Review – Dumb Money
—
I think the obvious comparison is to liken this movie to others such as The Big Short, Margin Call, et al. If you’re familiar with those movies then I’d say that this one isn’t nearly as dark. The events around Game Stop in 2020/21 are tragic to a few, rewarding for more than a few, and game-changing for an…

Movie Review – Saw X
—
Saw X is by far the most sedate of the entire franchise. My 10-year-old granddaughter begged me to take her and I finally caved. I had really tried to talk her out of it because if there was one thing I was sure of, his torture devices would scar her for life. Let’s fast forward halfway…
