Virgin Movie Review – A Merry Friggin’ Christmas (2014)
A Merry Friggin’ Christmas was a strange, strange film to watch. It seemed to have the distinctive low production values of a Hallmark Holiday Special, yet somehow boasted the clout and cash flow to hire friggin’ Robin Williams as the co-star. (Not to mention Candice Bergen, in a throw-away role.) What happened? Why was this…

Movie Review – Vice – Deeply Funny But Tonally Strange
—
I’ll start by saying that I did enjoy Vice a lot — however, there were some really funny lines, usually followed by some dramatic dialog, or blood-letting of some sort — and that’s where I have a problem. The humor at times was outrageous (wait till you see the scene with Alfred Molina as a…

Virgin Movie Review – Bad Santa
Billy Bob Thornton can act. He’s underrated, but shows a consistent range throughout his filmography. During the holiday season, he’s even got two popular rewatchable Christmas songs under his belt. He’s completely believable, whether he’s a smary President of the United States, or the world’s meanest, drunkest Santa. Spoilers Ahead! And here’s where Bad Santa…

Movie Review – Mary Queen of Scots
Let me begin by saying I’ve studied this beguiling queen for decades. I once spent a day at Holyrood Palace walking in the gardens where Mary once walked. I climbed the stone staircase Darnley and his henchmen rushed up to murder David Rizzio, and saw the chamber where Mary was entertaining her four Marys, and…

Movie Review – The Favourite
—
The Favourite was an entirely different kind of movie. This period piece was raunchy, stylish, opulent and wicked all at the same time. Based on the previews I was excited to see it and it really delivered what I was hoping for. There was humor and a lot of it. I honestly can’t decide which…

Movie Review – Welcome to Marwen
—
There have been so many ‘based on a true story’ movies recently, that if this were real life, we’d all in a world of hurt. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a happy, comedic real-life movie. Maybe we just don’t like seeing people happy, whose lives turns out splendidly without any muss or fuss.…

Movie Review – Second Act
—
This is a fish-out-of-water story, which is normally a reliable premise for laughs. Unfortunately, it feels like a half-hearted attempt to re-make a modern take on such classics like Working Girl and Pretty Woman. Or the more recent, and very wonderful The Devil Wears Prada. A re-envisioning of an old theme would be fine…

Love, Actually and Christmas Is All Around (That “Festering Turd of a Record”)
Bill Nighy rocks. And in Love, Actually, he rocks even harder as a washed up, has-been rock star, an aging bad boy we can’t help but love. Also, he’s one of those actors I’m certain can do no wrong. Hear that, Nighy? We’re all in agreement here: RunPee loves you. 🙂 Love, Actually is one…
