May The Fifth Be With You
Many years ago I had a novelty calendar. The conceit of it was that every day of the year was a a holiday celebrated somewhere by some group of people. By claiming affinity with those groups you could claim every day of the year as a holiday. All it did was find obscure occasions to…

RunPee Guardians Of The Galaxy Hub
—
The latest, and final, episode of the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy was released yesterday and I have seen it twice already! I think it is fair to say that I think it is a resurgence for the MCU after a few less than spectacular offerings. Guardians Of The Galaxy was renowned for the humour,…

Christmas Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Holiday Special
This may be a bit late. It was released back in November 2022 but, somehow, we never reviewed it! Now, with all the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 kerfuffle. I thought I should take another look and write a few words about it. OK, I know it is a Christmas special but May isn’t…

Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Volume 3
I’ve said elsewhere that I was a little late coming to the Guardians Of The Galaxy party. At first I wasn’t a fan but when a pre-Avengers: Endgame rewatch required seeing it again I was won over. So when Volume Three was announced I was quite excited. Excited to the point of writing an anticipation…

Indie Movie Review – A Small Fortune
—
Some films are head scratchers. What’s going on? Who are they? Why are they doing that? Usually getting the answers is what is what keeps you gripped until the answers are forthcoming. Sometimes you have questions because you just aren’t sure what’s going on. During A Small Fortune there was a bit of the latter…

Indie Movie Review – The Adventures Of Jurassic Pet 2: The Lost Secret
—
The joy, for me, of independent films is seeing how they make up for the lack of budget. I mean, being serious for a minute, the usual budget for the making of the whole indie films that I see wouldn’t cover the cost of the chap who brews the stagehands’ tea on a Marvel film.…

Movie Review – The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry
Well…good news, bad news! The bad news is that, due to technical problems which I have to sort out before Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 comes out next week, I couldn’t actually sort out Peetimes for The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. The good news is that it is, pretty much, the first film…

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+’s latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker. The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously that’s chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. That’s way more than the first two days of other highly…

Iron Man – 15th Anniversary Rewatch Review
Yet again another reminder that, to quote Andrew Marvell, “But at my back I always hear, Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”. I was sitting with my grandson, Theo, and he had put on “an old film” which he quite liked. He’s only four and a half so his idea of what is “old” is somewhat…

Superman: The Movie – 45th Anniversary Rewatch
—
Forty five years!!! One of the things about getting older is that there are so many anniversaries that keep popping up. Only last week one of my FaceBook memories was a posting I made about it being the 40th anniversary of the release of Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I remembered that being released!…
