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!…

Movie Review – Venom: Let There Be Carnage
—
I’ve been looking forward to this movie since the first one ended. That anticipation grew by an order of magnitude when I learned Woody Harrison would be the villain in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. But recently, when I learned Venom: Carnage had a 90-minute runtime I grew concerned. I knew there would be a…

Indie Movie Review – The Old Ways
The Old Ways is a fairly standard tale. It opens with a woman screaming in pain and bathed in sweat. Is she giving birth? It’s hard to tell. Her young daughter is there and, all of a sudden, there is a scream and mum turns into a demon and grabs the young girl’s arm, marking…

Movie Review – The Many Saints of Newark
—
Wow! What a movie. I was wondering if I would like it since I haven’t seen even one episode of The Sopranos. I can tell you what, that’s my next series to binge-watch! I have so many questions now that I’m considering canceling my weekend plans so I can watch them all. So for you…

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 – Quantum of Solace (2008)
I think it’s fair to say that Quantum Of Solace came in for a fair bit of stick. To be brutally frank it started getting stick before it had even been seen. The cat started peeping out of the bag in September 2007 as people noticed that Sony had registered the domain name quantumofsolacemovie.com. When the title…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Spectre (2015)
Spectre was the last Bond film released in theaters. It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. For those wanting a refresher before No Time To Die, I recommend going back to Casino Royale (2006) and watching all four Daniel Craig films. Be sure to pay attention to Mr. White. He becomes a crucial character…

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…

Movie Review – Dear Evan Hansen
—
Dear Evan Hansen was an incredibly well-done movie. The message that it contains hits home so hard that you’ll walk out of the theater a lot heavier than when you walked in. The ongoing issue with mental health has finally been given the attention it deserves. Ben Platt was simply amazing. He was able to…

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…
