Movie Review – The Place Beyond the Pines

This movie is interesting because of its non-traditional structure. It interconnects the story of two flawed men, and examines how their actions affect their sons.

Ryan Gosling gives a sparse, electric performance. It’s so good, in fact, that I almost wish the story had stayed focused on Luke. But this story, like life, moves forward, and deliciously reveals the results of two fathers’ best intentions.

Both men have secrets and both suffer for them, setting up their sons’ lives and journeys.

Grade: B

About The Peetimes: The movie becomes progressively more involved with multiple characters so I would recommend using the first two peetimes.

The third peetime is adequate but the fourth is only for emergencies, as it splits time between multiple story lines.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Place Beyond the Pines. (What we mean by Anything Extra)

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
