Movie Review – A Simple Favor
—
What a fabulous movie!! What I just watched surpassed many movies in my list of favorites. It’s probably hit the top three. I enjoyed this movie better than a day off from work with no bills to pay. From the moment the movie started, I was hooked. The characters are so deep and odd that…

Movie Review – White Boy Rick
—
White Boy Rick was very well done. The acting and directing was superb. They were able to completely immerse the audience in that time and place. Mathew McConaughey was awesome. He rocked this role, just like he always does. I’m pretty sure he can do anything. I’ve never seen Richie Merritt in anything before, but…

Movie Review – Doctor Strange
Weird, weird, weird. Yes, in a film pointedly titled Strange, this is very bizarre stuff. I haven’t seen the character in comic book media, but I imagine it took until our current technology to make all this mental scat look so good, so pretty, on film. Folding cities, broken mirror landscapes, characters running up and…

Movie Review – Peppermint
—
Peppermint was a tough film to grade. It doesn’t suck. But it’s also not that great. Ultimately, if you want to see it, I’d suggest waiting for the DVD, or a streaming option. [pullquote]It’s a ‘heart warming revenge tale’ along the lines of many stories we’ve seen in this genre before. The only thing making…

Movie Review – God Bless the Broken Road
—
Even though the critics panned God Bless The Broken Road, I did find a few redeeming qualities I’d like to share with you. The movie touches on a few issues, that sadly, are all too prevalent in our world today: we have the ‘war widow’ trying desperately to hold her world together without the support…

Movie Review – The Nun
Sit back, relax, and pull off your habit. It’s time for The Nun to have some fun. Seriously, I’ve been waiting for this movie since the day I was born. I felt it in my bones. The Conjuring Universe has consistently been one of the greatest franchises ever put to film. The amount of expectation…

Movie Review – The Little Stranger
—
Yuck. If I could get away with a one word review, that would be it. That’s it folks. Usually I can find some redeeming quality to a movie, but with this one I’ve been digging deep and still come up empty. Let me think on it a while and I’ll be back. Seven hours and…

Movie Review – Searching
—
Rotten Tomatoes critics and audience-goers on average have given *Searching* a 92% and 97%, respectively. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a movie that takes place on a computer screen, but from the first scene to closing scene I was impressed. The first few minutes of the movie are exquisite. We see photos and…

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.…

Movie Review – The Happytime Murders
—
The Happytime Murders was a major disappointment. Here’s the lowdown on the plot: It’s a raunchy film noir style Muppet murder mystery. It takes place in a seedy Los Angeles, where muppets are viewed as second class citizens. With that storyline, I felt the possibilities for humor, surprises and gags were endless. Most every aspect…
