Movie Review – Logan Lucky
—
If I was forced to describe this movie in one word, I’d choose deceiving. We walked into the theater expecting a slap-stick goofy comedy where everything that can go wrong does. Well, let me tell you, we were wrong. It is very funny, but not in a slap-stick kind of way — it was a…

Blade Runner: 2049 review
Blade Runner 2049 was almost an awesome movie. It was a worthy sequel that felt “right”, like settling in after a long break (of actual decades — in both real and movie time) to catch up on old events. Even the new characters seemed to carry echoes of previous incarnations. Hans Zimmer created a track…

Movie Review – The Circle
—
Grade – C+ (a little bit above average) Imagine if Facebook and Google got married, had a monster-child, and named it Circle. There you have it. Could this really happen? Yes indeed, and to take that one step further, I’ll wager that there’s a monster-child already gestating out there in cyber space. The Circle had…

Movie Review – Gifted
—
Grade – A RunPee Mom starts: Gifted unfolds beautifully, and just keeps getting better. The cast was excellent, and the chemistry between the main characters was palpable. There were tender moments and humorous moments. This is a great movie for audiences of all ages. Jill, RunPee Co-Creator adds: This is the second movie this year…

Movie Review – Ghost in the Shell
—
Grade: A- This is a really, really pretty movie. It’s also a seamless use of CGI, and I’m normally really hard on films that rely extensively on computer animation. It totally works in this one. Ghost in the Shell is an origin story for a comic book character called Major, and apparently this isn’t a…

—
With a new King Kong movie just out, we thought this would be a good time to kickstart this blog with a look back on how it all began at RunPee – with a King Kong movie in 2005. Kind of full circle. Here’s our review of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

Movie Review – Passengers
Grade: A+ I am exhausted from a long, late night movie, so I will be short and sweet tonite. Mainly, I want to say: SEE THIS FILM. I never give an A+ rating, and this movie deserves it. Chris Pratt is a treasure; Jennifer Lawrence brings her A-game, and this movie is a pure delightful mix…

Movie Review – Rogue One : A Star Wars Story
Grade: A- There’s a lot to like about this movie. The humor, particularly from K-2SO, or K-2 as he’s more often referred to, is outstanding. I have to say, K-2 really carried the movie. It’s not going to happen, but I would love to see a movie with him as the main character. He’s that…

X-Men: Apocalypse (movie review)
—
Grade: B It’s always a struggle to rate and review movies like this. I’m going to take the easy way out and judge it against the other X-Men movies. “Apocalypse” is way better than “The Last Stand”–universally believed to be the worst in the franchise. But, I don’t think it was quite as good as…
