Movie Review – Book Club
I thought this would be an inspiring movie about taking life by the balls (or in this case, the ovaries) in your golden years. The high-caliber cast of aging actresses is stellar; they did a fine job. I am about 15-20 years younger than them, but feel like they have options I will never have.…

Movie Review – Deadpool 2
Deadpool 2. Funny? Without question. As funny as the first? Close, but not quite… Okay, now that I think about it, yeah, it was as funny as the first. Deadpool 2. Great action? Absolutely. Was the action as good as the first? Nope. This has hardly a knock on the movie. The first Deadpool was…

Movie Review – Life of the Party
—
This little movie is pretty darn cute. It’s got a happy spirit to it, and Melissa McCarthy did a bang up job. I’m not a huge fan of hers, but this was highly amusing, and had a sweet bit of heart. The sorority girls are especially charming, and Deanna’s adult best friend steals the show…

Movie Review – Breaking In
—
[Note: Review written by RunPee volunteer Shani Ogilvie] I think this movie was better than I expected it to be. Gabrielle Union, and most of the cast, had good acting. I like how the movie didn’t waste time getting to the point. It had unexpected plots twists and wasn’t that predictable. Though I appreciate the…

Movie Review – Tully
—
Since Charlize Theron won an Oscar for Monster it should be a no brainer for the academy to grace her with a second gold statue for Tully. You should know Charlize gained 50 pounds for her role, stating she wanted to stay true to her character of Marlo. That alone should be reason enough for her…

Movie review: Bad Samaritan
—
What an awesome movie! I hadn’t even heard of it when I was told this was my movie for the week, so I wasn’t really expecting much. This movie grabs you and just plain leaves you breathless. What a roller coaster of a ride. I would absolutely recommend this movie. The moral dilemma that takes…

Movie Review – Overboard (2018)
I’m not sure why anyone felt a need to remake Overboard. The 1987 original has a sparkling and famous cast, led by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. It was sweet, it was funny, and despite the kind of casual sexism often shown in that era of movies, was a small cult classic. I loved it.…

A Quiet Place – Movie Analysis with SPOILERS
I thoroughly enjoyed A Quiet Place, even though I can’t do horror movies. But, you know what? A Quiet Place isn’t really straight-up horror — or more accurately, it’s a sub-unit of such: scary suspense. And those are perfectly fine viewing for movie-goers who don’t enjoy being frightened witless or mentally disturbed after bedtime. I…
