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…

Movie Review – A.X.L.
In all my years as Runpee Mom, I’ve never given a movie the lowest grade possible. Allow me to expound on why AXL took me to the desert wasteland of F-. Watching this ‘robot dog’ being brutalized by a series of nefarious characters hit me like a gut punch. The movie demanded that we not only…

Movie Review – Alpha
—
Alpha blew me away. This movie was amazing. There are a ton of points I want to make, but I’m going to hit upon the ones that I think may sway your decision to go see it, otherwise we’ll be here all day. First up, there is violence against animals. If this bothers you, it…

Movie Review – Mile 22
—
Mile 22 fails on every level that an action movie can fail, and then makes up some new ways to fail. But wait, there’s good news: the Russian government is the bad guys again. Yeah! (More on that later.) This entire movie feels like the first 30 minutes of a much better movie. Meaning: they…

Movie Review – Crazy Rich Asians
—
Crazy Rich Asians is a beautifully done trip to Singapore with a gaggle of interesting people. Each main character gave us a guided tour into their lives, and how it shaped their future. Even though we didn’t see or hear much of the back story of Piek Lin Goh (played by Awkwafina), she did have…

Movie Review – Slender Man
—
Over a year. Seriously, I have been waiting for this movie for over a year now. With the amount of material available on the internet about Slender Man it should have provided the writers and makers of this movie infinite ideas. The final cut was lacking in almost every aspect. It starts off okay. Not…
