Movie Review – Halloween Kills
—
I’ve been waiting for Halloween Kills since Christmas. I love my horror flicks and walk into the theater giddy with excitement. So here’s my thought as the credits roll — they totally missed the boat. For one, if they followed the formula of the last thirteen, we would have seen drugs, sex, and naked bodies.…

Movie Review – Gunpowder Milkshake
—
In case you haven’t noticed, things have been a bit untoward for the last couple of years. As part of my rehab I’ve been making the effort to get back into the cinema at least once a week. The upshot of this, combined with various family commitments, means that I tend to go and see…

Movie Review – No Time to Die
I’ve already gone on record here at RunPee about how I have enjoyed Daniel Craig’s tenure as Bond, how I’ve liked the story arc throughout the films, and how much I’ve been looking forward to seeing No Time To Die. I may as well tell you at the start about my disappointment… there wasn’t any!…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Of all the things that Tomorrow Never Dies has going for it something that, perhaps, doesn’t spring immediately to mind is the sheer weight of originality. This is the first film in the franchise to have no relationship with anything written by Ian Fleming outside of the character names. Licence To Kill was a virtual pick and mix…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Skyfall (2012)
I’m doing this review last of all despite it being my first pick… Skyfall is definitely my favourite Bond film, just edging out Casino Royale. I’ll admit that in this regard I’m at odds with the voters of IMDb.com… they have Casino Royale at 8.0/10 with Skyfall and Goldfinger tying for second on 7.7/10. I haven’t hidden my…

Movie Review – Copshop
—
I can’t say I had any valid expectations going into the movie because all I knew of it was what I saw on the poster. I knew Gerald Butler was in it. He’s a mixed bag. I really like the actor and most of the movies he’s in, but he’s also been in a few…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – GoldenEye (1995)
GoldenEye is an important Bond film. It ended the six-year hiatus since License to Kill, during which Timothy Dalton quit and Alfred R. Broccoli stepped down as producer. It introduced Pierce Brosnan in his first outing as James Bond. And it was the basis for an extremely popular video game, one which I have fond memories…

Movie Review – The Card Counter
—
When I saw that Martin Scorsese was the executive producer, I thought this movie would be on par with the likes of Taxi Driver or Goodfellas. Wow, I was so totally wrong. Simply put, this movie sucked. It’s a dark character study, which is usually great as long as the writing is well done. Nope,…
