Christmas TV Special – A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
—
The Goes Wrong Show is unusual in that it almost seems like it was made the wrong way around…there was a Christmas special, then another Christmas special, and then a couple of series were made. Actually, there was another Christmas special slotted in between the two series! But all that is after the Mischief Theatre…

Movie Review – Poor Things
—
“Are we really just barbarians?”, a character whimsically asks of her friends in the film. This movie is a deeper, philosophical look at the human condition, nature vs. nurture, love, eroticism, and the impact of economic stratification. It is rare that I am truly “hooked” in the first three minutes of a film, but indeed…

Christmas Rewatch Review – Christmas With The Kranks
A lot of films are based on books, essays, short stories, etc. Some authors have had a lot of films based on their work; William Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, and Stephen King are the most prolific. And who is fourth? None other than John Grisham! One of my all time favourite films, Runaway Jury, is an…

TV Review – Creepshow
—
Ah…1982! I was young, slim, and active. I won’t say “athletic” but I was a bit more that the three dimensional stain in my armchair that I am now. Over forty years ago was when the original film version of Creepshow was made and, rather surprisingly, it took until 2019 before the format was reused.…

Christmas TV Special – Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale
—
Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais may not be particularly well known names across the Atlantic but one of their creations, The Office, has been shown around the world and adapted into various local versions. Their follow up was absolutely delicious, full of high profile star cameos, and also managed to be exceptionally bittersweet; you don’t…

Indie Documentary Review – Tramps!
—
It often happens that you see something and it dawns on you that Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness wasn’t so unusual after all. One of the first articles I wrote for RunPee was a documentary about a skateboard park and the people who were still using it forty years after it was built.…

Movie Review – Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget
I was quite surprised to learn that the first Aardman Animation feature film was 2000’s Chicken Run. I would have put money on it being one of the Wallace And Gromit adventures but had forgotten that the early ones were made for TV shorts. The first full length Wallace And Gromit was, actually, the 2005…

Movie Review – Wonka
—
I’ve said elsewhere that my late father had a habit of never liking remakes. Bedazzled, The Italian Job, Miracle On 34th Street, The Day Of The Jackal…he always said “it’s not as good as the original”. He used to say that even after we’d said “but you haven’t seen the new one yet Dad”. Like…
