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…

Where to watch Alien Addiction, directed by Shae Sterling
Typical… you wait ages for talented, New Zealand based film directors with an offbeat sense of humour — and then three come along at once! First there was Peter Jackson. Now he’s synonymous with anything Tolkienesque, but way back in the days of VHS tapes he was the master of the comedy/horror/sci-fi genre; check out…

Movie Review – Pixie
—
This was a spur of the moment decision. Whilst sitting in the cinema yesterday (Thursday) I saw a trailer for Pixie and, as I had nothing planned for the next day thought I’d book tickets on the way out. I can hear you all now saying, “You dull bugger, that’s why they show trailers!” …But…

Movie Review – The Broken Hearts Gallery

The Broken Hearts Gallery deserves an A+ for sure. This was a movie that changed the minds of two very stubborn people. When I read up on the movie, I thought to myself that this one was gonna be boring. I labeled it as work-only, not for enjoyment. My husband is a truck driver and…

Indie Movie Review – Pulse
Part of the pleasure of being given the opportunity to watch and review independent films for RunPee is finding films like Pulse. I’ll be honest, a fair few are not wonderful. Some are well done in certain ways and not so much in others; well shot but badly acted, good story but poor dialogue, and various…
