Indie Movie Review – Repeat

I know that the big studios have been panicking about their health and, indeed, long-term future, which explains why so many blockbusting tent poles were withheld and all the fuss over Tenet  actually being released. The main fear is, presumably, that people will get out of the habit of getting out of their comfy armchairs […]

Indie Movie Review – My Best Worst Adventure

My Best Worst Adventure is a story that’s been told before; a troubled teen is sent away and realises that things can actually be worse… but then, somehow, get better.  In this case the troubled teen is Jenny (Lily Patra), who refuses to speak since the death of her mother. Her step-father Mark (Eoin O’Brien) sends […]

Time Loop Movie Short – Groundhog Day For A Black Man

I don’t use YouTube often as the seemingly endless advert interruptions are desperately annoying, but it was the only source I had for 12:01 PM so I was stuck with it. Afterward, I noticed there was another clip available called Groundhog Day For A Black Man, and as it only ran for under five minutes […]

RunPee Weekly Newsletter #75 (August 18th, 2021)

The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. Free Guy Ryan Reynolds doesn’t get enough credit for his acting. He doesn’t put himself in really demanding roles and most of his characters are a variation on Deadpool. But he is exactly what this […]

Indie Movie Review – The Last Thing Mary Saw

The Last Thing Mary Saw starts off as a stereotypical American Gothic horror; all darkness, black clothing, and moodiness set in mid 19th century New York. The first thing is a John Calvin quote “All events whatsoever are governed by the secret counsel of God”  which always seems to me to be saying “do whatever you want because […]

Short Movie Review – The Human Voice

In other articles, I’ve spoken about how, when I was nothing but a young lad, there used to be a second feature. It was usually shorter in length to the main feature and, more often than not, you didn’t know what you were going to get; sometimes you’d sit there trying to see how long […]

Indie Movie Review – Blackstock Boneyard

Blackstock Boneyard, or Rightful as it was originally called, is the story of two landowners who were wrongly accused of robbery, rape, and murder. In order to get a fair trial, they have to sell their land. Actually, they had to sell all their assets to get any sort of a trial as they were Black […]

Indie Movie Review – Skinwalker

Skinwalker starts off by telling us that we are in the Arizona High Country in 1883. Two grizzled chaps, Benny (Nathaniel Burns) and Hugo (Robert Conway), are creeping through the woods, rifles drawn, looking like they’re out hunting — when they happen across what appears to be a body on a wooden trellis. One of […]

Indie Movie Review – Tu Me Manques

The first thing to know about Tu Me Manques is that it was Bolivia’s official selection for the Oscars.  While it wasn’t nominated,  it’s a damn sight better than the movie that won (Another Round).  Tu Me Manques is much more moving, meaningful, and emotional.  In fact, it will probably have a spot on my […]

Indie Movie Review – A Ghost Waits

My name is Rob, and I’m a cinema addict. When the world was open I was retired and had Infinity cards both for RunPee and for my local cinema; I’d peaked at seeing three films in a day and going four or five days a week. Then it all closed down. However, I was luckier […]
