Indie Movie Review – Last Call
—
in DramaI wasn’t 100% sure what to expect from Last Call. When the tag line on the poster is pushing the fact that it’s “real time, split screen, one single take,” then you do tend to wonder, “Is that it? Nothing else?” It’s a bit like if a car advert just concentrated on the number of…

First View Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express (No Spoilers)
I very much enjoyed 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. As an avid mystery book reader, I’d heard of the 1934 novel in question, of the writer Agatha Christie, and even knew bits and pieces about her recurring eccentric detective Hercule Poirot. (It’s the kind of name that sticks with you.) But that is ALL.…

Movie Review – Let Him Go
—
Let Him Go took my heart, ripped it out of my chest, and let a stampede of horses crush it until it was unidentifiable as anything human. As I was sitting through the credits, my mind was reeling with emotions that were so carnal and brutal that it took me a moment to realize,…

TV Series Pilot Review – Piss Off, I Love You
A bit of a change of direction in that Piss Off, I Love You isn’t a film, but a TV series…and here we go! Here we have a “fish out of water” sitcom. The fish being the writer, director, producer, and star Jessie McCormack, as an American presenter brought over to London to present a…

Best of British Biographies – Sean Connery
This weekend I had one of those “aww” moments when you get some sad news. Not so sad as to knock you sideways, like the death of a parent or a favourite dog, but sad enough to give you a moment’s pause to think back and reflect. That moment was when I heard that Sir…

Movie Review – The Last Bus
So… a matter of weeks after writing an article about Timothy Spall, I get an email inviting me to preview a screening of his latest film The Last Bus. Yes, we at RunPee Towers have THAT much clout! I say it’s his latest film, but it’s still in post-production and not due for release until…

Indie Movie Review – The Faceless Man
Wow… well… I’m almost speechless. That was pretty atrocious. Anyway, a review… I try to find something I like in a film I’m reviewing, but this one was hard! To start with, The Faceless Man didn’t seem to know what it was… gangster, revenge, horror, family drama, small-town vigilante, gore fest… it seemed to wander…

Indie Movie Review – Redwood Massacre: Annihilation
Happy Halloween! To start with, I have to say although Redwood Massacre: Annihilation is a direct sequel to 2014’s The Redwood Massacre, I haven’t actually seen it. Next, I have to say that I’m not a fan of the slasher genre, but I can put that aside and give it a whirl for this review.…

Indie Movie Review – The Dinner Party (2020)
I was quite looking forward to seeing The Dinner Party after I saw the trailer and, to be honest, I wasn’t disappointed. It all revolves around the titular dinner party, which is being held by some local power brokers. A playwright, who wants his latest effort produced, has come along with his wife to try…
