Movie Review – After (2019)
—
“After,” a romantic drama from Jenny Gage, was one of many intriguing and diverse movies that the year 2019 brought us. Based on the popular young adult novel of the same name by Anna Todd, the film follows the tumultuous love story of Tessa Young and Hardin Scott. While it may have flown under the…

Movie Review – The Holdovers
—
The Holdovers could be this generation’s Dead Poets Society. I don’t think The Holdovers is as inspirational as DPS, but they serve the same general purpose: an eccentric teacher (the wizard) guiding a young man/hero, who is missing a father figure, through the transition from adolescence into adulthood. There are numerous movies that illustrate this mythic…

Movie Review – The Marvels
—
I didn’t have high expectations for this movie. In fact, I can’t remember an MCU movie I was less enthusiastic to see. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my low expectations. TL;DR The overall direction of the MCU is a mess. It appears that events in this movie were force-fed to the writers, leaving them…

Movie Review – Inspector Sun
—
Inspector Sun looked like it had a lot of promise. I loved the vibe that the trailers put out there but I was slightly disappointed with the overall movie. When I review children’s movies I try to keep them in mind. Do I think kids will like it? Kind of, I’m not sure what age…

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…
