Indie Movie Review – Last Call
—
in DramaI wasn’t 100% sure what to expect from Last Call. When the tag line on the poster is pushing the fact that it’s “real time, split screen, one single take,” then you do tend to wonder, “Is that it? Nothing else?” It’s a bit like if a car advert just concentrated on the number of…

TV Series Pilot Review – Piss Off, I Love You
A bit of a change of direction in that Piss Off, I Love You isn’t a film, but a TV series…and here we go! Here we have a “fish out of water” sitcom. The fish being the writer, director, producer, and star Jessie McCormack, as an American presenter brought over to London to present a…

Best of British Biographies – Sean Connery
This weekend I had one of those “aww” moments when you get some sad news. Not so sad as to knock you sideways, like the death of a parent or a favourite dog, but sad enough to give you a moment’s pause to think back and reflect. That moment was when I heard that Sir…

Movie Review – The Last Bus
So… a matter of weeks after writing an article about Timothy Spall, I get an email inviting me to preview a screening of his latest film The Last Bus. Yes, we at RunPee Towers have THAT much clout! I say it’s his latest film, but it’s still in post-production and not due for release until…

Indie Movie Review – The Faceless Man
Wow… well… I’m almost speechless. That was pretty atrocious. Anyway, a review… I try to find something I like in a film I’m reviewing, but this one was hard! To start with, The Faceless Man didn’t seem to know what it was… gangster, revenge, horror, family drama, small-town vigilante, gore fest… it seemed to wander…

Indie Movie Review – Redwood Massacre: Annihilation
Happy Halloween! To start with, I have to say although Redwood Massacre: Annihilation is a direct sequel to 2014’s The Redwood Massacre, I haven’t actually seen it. Next, I have to say that I’m not a fan of the slasher genre, but I can put that aside and give it a whirl for this review.…

Indie Movie Review – The Dinner Party (2020)
I was quite looking forward to seeing The Dinner Party after I saw the trailer and, to be honest, I wasn’t disappointed. It all revolves around the titular dinner party, which is being held by some local power brokers. A playwright, who wants his latest effort produced, has come along with his wife to try…

Indie Movie Review: Love In Dangerous Times – A CoVid Rom Com
Now, before the shouts of “there’s the bandwagon, get on board quick” start, let’s just be honest and admit we all knew that a whole pandemic/COVID-19/lockdown-themed genre would be arriving before too long. Love In Dangerous Times isn’t the first one that I’ve seen though; that honour goes to the brilliant Staged, starring the magnificent duo that…

Exclusive Interview with Actor Heath C. Heine — Star of Monster Force Zero & Jurassic Thunder
This versatile actor is worth hunting down: we’ll see more of Heath Heine soon. In Jurassic Thunder alone he has three roles (one of which is a certain orange President), and in Monster Force Zero he’s clearly channeling Biff (Back to the Future. Duh. Hello, McFly!) We were honored to have a little chat with…

Indie Movie Review – Attack Of The Demons — it’s animated and it’s horror! Why isn’t this done more?
I seem to always start off by saying that I’m probably the worst possible person to be writing the review and this is no exception. I’ve said often enough that I’m not one of your rabid horror fans but I’ll usually watch one with minimal prompting. So… ghosts? OK. Vampires? Don’t mind if I do.…
