Silver Linings: Gratitude in the Year of CoVid
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― Gandalf, The Fellowship…

It’s A Wonderful Christmas – How RunPee Rob takes in the holiday season
We’re primarily a film based site and, sure enough, most of the articles here are related to films; new films, old favourites, comparisons of remakes, looking back and reappraising, and general opinion pieces.

Null Movies – Films with a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes
Null Movies are a thing After many weeks discussing how we grade movies at RunPee, from A+ through F-, I thought I was done. But NOT SO FAST! There’s an even worse film than the lowly F-. How about a null score that statistically nobody has a good thing to say about it? It’s so…

F Movies – What films FAIL at RunPee
The dreaded F. These are the abominations littering the sticky cinema screening floor. They waste everyone’s time and money — whether it’s the production studio, the actors or director, the poor crew, and (especially) the viewers. Could they be any worse? They aren’t worth going straight to video. They aren’t worth seeing free on Netflix.…
