Movie Review – Honest Thief
I can’t recommend seeing Honest Thief; not even on DVD/streaming someday; it offers nothing to the genre worth sitting through. The story is painfully predictable. The characters are cardboard. The acting is uninspired. I can’t fault the actors. There’s not much they could do with this plot and dialog. Spoilers ahead: Here’s an example of…

Indie Movie Review – The Devil To Pay
The Devil To Pay took me by surprise! When I was told about the screener it came with an editor’s note saying… “A nice thriller for you. I love these ‘in the woods’ movies.”…so I had started to make up my mind what I was about to see and, if I’m honest, “psycho with an…

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…

Indie Movie Review – The Wall of Mexico
—
The Wall of Mexico is…hmmm… it’s too long to be a metaphor or a simile, not abstract enough to be an allegory, so it’s probably an analogy. “Of what” I hear you ask. Well, dear reader, the answer is in the title; The Wall of Mexico is about isolationist and anti-immigration policies, and some of the…

Indie Movie Review – Rialto
Rialto is one of those films that you watch and, afterwards, think, “What the hell was that? Was that entertainment or have I just had an emotional battering?” If you want a nice, easy, relaxing way to spend an hour or so then I’d recommend you have a look and see what Pixar has got…

Indie Movie Review – Monochrome: The Chromism
To be brutally frank Monochrome: The Chromism is a bit of a mess. Incidentally, I have to refer to this film by its full name, Monochrome: The Chromism, as there’s a 2016 film called Monochrome which is a totally different story. Anyway, Monochrome: The Chromism starts off with a chap driving cross country, walking through a battlefield, by a wrecked building, across…

Indie Movie Review – I’ll Be Around
—
I’ll Be Around starts off like so many films, with a scene showing a band on stage and about to start, and then cutting to a scene with a card saying: A few hours before showtime. Now I know the theory behind this trope is to build up a sense of excitement and anticipation but,…

Movie Review – Kajillionaire
—
I have no idea where to even begin. I still don’t know if I like it, loved it or hated it. This will probably get me in trouble with the boss but I even contemplated leaving early. I thought to myself if I could just make it long enough to get a second Peetime, I…
