You’re saying it wrong: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator

March 9, 2022

Of course, the wacky people in Britland can’t be bothered to say superhero actor Benedict Cumberbatch properly. It’s too much effort and a lot more fun to get it astoundingly, satisfyingly wrong. Cumberbatch — er, Cumberbund? — seems okay with this. Say his real name enough times and you start wondering what is correct, […]

Themes On A Christmas Carol – Blackadder’s Christmas Carol (1988)

February 22, 2022

I know that a lot of people outside of the UK only think of Mr Bean when they hear of Rowan Atkinson but, trust me, he is far funnier than that character. As has been alluded to many times, I am getting on a bit and can remember him in Not The Nine O’Clock News […]

Indie Movie Review – Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It/Жаным, ты не поверишь! (2020)

February 14, 2022

When I think of foreign films, I tend to think of either European or Oriental. For Europe it used to be mainly French or Italian but recently I’ve been watching more Danish films thanks to my Mads Mikkelsen obsession. The Far East was mainly Kurosawa or Kung Fu films but Korea has started making a […]

Indie Movie Review – Hit Record

March 18, 2021

In the world of indie films, the documentary is probably the easiest to make look like a full budget outing; there’s no need for expensive visual effects, top quality acting, or high priced music and sound effects. The audience expects the speaker to be aware and nervous that they’re being filmed, as opposed to the […]

Indie Documentary Review – Sex, Drugs & Bicycles

March 1, 2021

Buy one, get one free! Yes, you can have a political documentary AND a comedy. Ok, maybe it’s not screamingly funny but wryly amusing, observational humour can definitely be used as a description. What we have in Sex, Drugs & Bicycles is an American, Jonathan Block — Writer/Director/Narrator — who fondly remembers a trip to The […]

Indie Movie Review – Shark Encounters of the Third Kind

January 13, 2021

Some films you know what you are going to get before you walk in. There may have been a buzz about them. There may have been a massive publicity campaign. It could just be the title. Shark Encounters of the Third Kind falls into the last category; not since Snakes On A Plane has the premise of a film […]

Indie Movie Review – Derelicts

November 23, 2020

Films like Derelicts do make me worry for the friends that I’ve made over in the USA. More so than just the chance of them being shot by someone claiming to be defending his right to walk around bristling with weaponry, or catching something relatively treatable and being bankrupted. I worry that, over in the States, […]

April 28, 2020

Here at RunPee we lean heavily into covering science fiction movies, since we’re huge geeks. You’ve probably noticed. 😉 We especially love movies about scientists and space. There are many wonderful space movies featuring astronauts as heroes…which, of course in real life they are. Think of the training and deprivations these outstanding people undergo to […]
