Movie Review – Living

November 18, 2022

Not every remake of a Japanese film has to be a horror, sci-fi, or action story. Godzilla, The Ring, and The Magnificent Seven may be the best known English language remakes of Japanese films but they don’t have to be loud, brash, and adrenaline fuelled to be considered for a language switch remake…Living proves the […]

Dune: Part 2 – What You Need To Know About the Dune Sequel

August 2, 2022

When Dune came out in 2021 it was to favourable reviews. It earned $401.8m against a spend of $165m despite being released during the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those two factors were enough to guarantee a sequel. What is Dune: Part 2? Fairly obviously, it is a direct sequel to Dune. This time […]

Christmas Classic First View Review – A Christmas Carol (1938)

December 28, 2021

Over the years I’ve seen a fair few versions of A Christmas Carol, or Scrooge as it’s sometimes called, but this 1938 version is a new one on me! There’s no point going too deeply into the story because, as both Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and Simply Red said, “If you don’t know […]

Christmas First View Review – An American Christmas Carol (1979)

December 25, 2021

Here we have an attempt to prove the ubiquity and relevance of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol by taking it from Victorian-era London and plonking it down in Depression-era Concord, New Hampshire. I don’t if there’s any significance in the location but the time has obviously been chosen as one of widespread poverty, debt, and hardship. […]

Movie Review – West Side Story

December 11, 2021

I love West Side Story, even though it’s a sad, “bring tissues” type movie. My love, however, seems restricted to the 1961 West Side Story movie, and the play. While I haven’t seen this on Broadway (and there’s a sly nod to Broadway in the first three minutes of the 2021 film — did you […]

Movie Review – Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

September 3, 2021

TL;DR Shang Chi was enjoyable, but not great. Visually appealing, whimsical, and has plenty of humor without being forced. For me, the most sensible way to grade an MCU movie is against the other MCU movies. Generally speaking, Shang Chi falls in the middle third for me. Not the cream of the MCU crop, but […]

Movie Review – The Green Knight

July 31, 2021

The Green Knight is thick with symbolism but thin on understanding. At least that’s how I see it because I have no clue what I’m supposed to get out of it. I wish Joseph Campbell was around to review this movie and critique the symbolism. If the director were to release an annotated version of […]

Movie Review – Cruella

May 29, 2021

Let me start by apologizing for not being able to do Peetimes on the opening night, cause I got sick in the theater. Dan and I went back and watched it together the next day, and we both agreed this movie is hard to do Peetimes for. While the movie is longish, it’s tight. There […]

March 26, 2021

Godzilla vs Kong opens next week and at RunPee we’re very excited. Kong, the King himself, has a very special place in our hearts, since when RunPee Dan and I saw Peter Jackson’s King Kong in 2005 we came up with the entire idea for RunPee (go during the Valley of the Bugs scene — […]
