Movie Review – The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
—
Going into the theater, I expected a movie that leaned into over-the-top action at the expense of plot and character development. I got the opposite. For the most part, the action was kept to a minimum, except for watching Anders go berserker mode. His action scenes were done as much for humor as action. True…

Independent Film Review – Bobcat Moretti
—
I think that it is fairly well known that films aren’t usually shot in the order that they unroll onscreen. They try and film as much as they can with the minimum of disruption. If a character has to appear in a particular costume or make up for a few different scenes then it is…

Movie Review – Civil War
—
We limit ourselves here at RunPee with only one A++ rating each year, per Peep. I have no qualms about spending my only A++ of the year Civil War. Alex Garland put on a writing and directing master class in Civil War. Leading up to seeing this movie, I was both looking forward to it…

Independent Film Review – Bolan’s Shoes
—
I find that films make more of a connection when there is something to connect them to you. I know that sounds laughably trite and obvious but bear with me. If you see a film and it is set in a place that you know very well you will probably feel close to it. It…

Movie Review – One Life
—
The first thing that struck me is the magnificent job Johnny Flynn does as a young Anthony Hopkins. From his first scene you can see how he studied the head movements and manner of speaking that personifies Anthony Hopkins. It’s a little strange that the actor is working to imitate another actor who is playing…

Classic Movie Review – Citizen Kane
—
Given that I list films and the cinema as one of my major passions it is a bit of a mystery why there are some films that I haven’t seen. I don’t mean obscure, arty films that no one has seen, I mean ones that regularly turn up on those lists of best films of…

Reset, Chinese Ground Hog’s day TV show
—
Reset is a 15-episode series on YouTube about a young man and woman caught in a Groundhog Day-style temporal loop. The series is set in the picturesque city of Xiamen, China. The episodes all have English subtitles that are usually easy to keep up with. Occasionally, the dialog would come too fast to read, but that’s…

Independent Film Review – Frankenstein: Legacy
—
I’m sure there must be a term for a story that is an extension of an earlier story. Extended narrative perhaps? Whatever…I’m sure someone could tell me in the comments. Anyway, Frankenstein: Legacy is set in a shared universe with the original Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Basically, it takes up the…
