Movie Review – Downton Abbey: A New Era
Downton Abbey 2: A New Era is a beautiful mess. It absolutely did what it set out to do, which is provide comfort viewing for long-time fans. With six seasons, two movies now, and a cast that won’t quit growing, casual fans will probably just be stopping by for the costumes and pageantry. Fortunately, those…

Movie Review – Men
—
I saw Men last night. It’s been twelve hours since I was sitting in my seat and I’m still confused by what I saw. I was hoping for an epiphany overnight but alas, I’m still scratching my head. It’s at this point in my review I would like to give a shout-out to the most…

Movie Review – Family Camp
This is a guest review from a RunPee fan who was able to see this limited-release movie. Family Camp wasn’t a bad movie. I enjoyed it for what it was. I would have liked a little bit more comedy bits. The religious bits were not over the top, in my opinion, but might strike other…

Movie Review – Firestarter
—
Luckily, I went in with really low expectations of the new Firestarter. When I found out that Blumhouse was doing it my expectations went a little higher. That was a mistake. This movie was dreadful. Epically dreadful. Zac Ephron is great at acting in certain types of movies, this wasn’t one of them. He wasn’t able…

Movie Review – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
—
Oddly enough, I’m almost relieved that Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness wasn’t another A+ MCU movie. My list of top third MCU movies is packed. Adding another to it means I have to pick an existing top third movie to drop. “Crazy”, I know. Even though this wasn’t the best the MCU has to offer,…

Movie Review – Memory
—
The easiest way to explain Memory is it’s a memory of all of Liam Neeson past movies. It’s Liam doing his thing like always. He still impressed me with his ability to crush the bad guys at 69 years old. That’s where the great stuff ends. I felt like the supporting cast fell flat. The…

Movie Review – The Bad Guys
—
The Bad Guys was super funny. The whole theater was laughing almost the whole time. What I find even better is that there was major humor but there was also a strong moral message. This movie would be great for children five and up. The message is very well stated in a manner that they would understand. For the…

Movie Review – The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
—
Where to start? This was such a fun movie from so many angles. Near the end of the movie I realized I had been smiling for who knows how long because everything was just so much fun. And it just makes me want to do a Nick Cage marathon and rewatch the classics: Raising Arizona, Con Air, The…

Movie Review – The Northman
—
I can’t say that I hated this movie. But I didn’t like it a lot. The acting was as dreary as the Icelandic weather This was one of those movies that you could barely tell was shot in color. The sky and landscape are uniformly gray throughout most of the movie. Clearly, that was on…

Movie Review – Father Stu
—
Father Stu was so much more than I was expecting. Mark Wahlberg really nailed it. I could feel his pain and suffering and the faith that he developed. The transition that his character goes through is remarkable. This was based on a true story, my heart goes out to this guy. At every attempt of…
