Movie Review – Wonka
—
I’ve said elsewhere that my late father had a habit of never liking remakes. Bedazzled, The Italian Job, Miracle On 34th Street, The Day Of The Jackal…he always said “it’s not as good as the original”. He used to say that even after we’d said “but you haven’t seen the new one yet Dad”. Like…

50th Anniversary Rewatch Review – The Wicker Man
—
Well, we’re into December and it seems appropriate that a religious film should be being watched. But, before we grab our hymn books and rosary beads, we need to remember that, as Hamlet said, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” The religion practised on Summerisle…

Christmas TV Special – The Office: Christmas Special
They’re funny things time zones. I often have to stop chatting with the American branch of the RunPee branch of the family because it is past my bedtime despite it only being around noon with them. Maybe that is why the UK version of The Office came in at a total running time of seven…

RunPee Godzilla Hub
—
in HubThe Godzilla franchise is big. Almost as big as the monster itself! The total number of films featuring Godzilla is greater than the number of films (currently) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The franchise started back in 1954 and is a particular Japanese favourite; over there it stretches to films, television series, novels, comic books,…

Christmas TV Special – Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas
Oh dear…I suppose when you have a TV series that does as well as Ted Lasso did then you are bound to want to try and spread it a bit further while you can. I’m not a football fan but I quite enjoyed the goings on at AFC Richmond…well, the first couple of seasons, anyway.…

TV Review- Signora Volpe
Funny how things turn out isn’t it? Only a couple of weeks ago I was sent links to review a TV series featuring a female investigator. I decided to go ahead and review it. One of the reasons was that each episode was around feature film length. The other reason was that I was a…

Indie Movie Review – Wickedly Evil
—
Well, sometimes things turn out to be totally different to what you expected! When I was sent the info for Wickedly Evil it was described as a “comedy horror caper”. When the opening credits start any letters that can have them (W,M,V, etc.) have the pointy bits extended to look like canine teeth. So, when…

Movie Review – The Marvels
And so we come to the 33rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Marvels is a bit like a mini-Avengers in that it isn’t single character lead. We have a trio running things under the control of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson); Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman…

RunPee Love Actually Hub
—
in HubTo mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Love Actually we decided to have a look through our articles and see if there was enough to put together a mini-hub. Unusually for these things, when the articles were lined up there were more mini bios than film articles! It just shows the amount of…

Indie Movie Review – Werewolf Santa
—
“It never rains but it pours” as the old saying goes. It’s still not Hallowe’en and here I am on my second Christmas film! However, there is nothing, other than the season, that connects Christmas At The Holly Day Inn and Werewolf Santa. One is a heavily seasonal rom-com with a few famous faces, a…
