Documentary Review – Still: A Michael J Fox Movie
—
I’ll be honest, prior to Back To The Future, I hadn’t heard of him. I guess that I was on the wrong side of the Atlantic to catch any of the numerous TV appearances that he had made from 1978 onwards. Furthermore, I’ll be even more brutally honest and say that, apart from the other…

RunPee DC Hub

It’s one of those old, old questions…Mods or Rockers, City or United, Marvel or DC? Recent years have seen the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the ascendent but DC haven’t actually been dragging their heels. To be honest, there are an awful lot of films and TV series, both live action and animated. Let’s see if…

RunPee Star Trek Hub
Star Trek is one of those franchises which seems to have been around, almost, forever. My mother ordered our first ever colour television set in time for her to watch Princess Anne getting married to Captain Mark Phillips back in 1973. When it arrived the first programme we saw was Star Trek: Season 1 ,…

RunPee Marvel Hub
Ah…Marvel. Say that and everybody, nowadays, thinks of the MCU. However, in the eighty plus years that it has been around it has proven to be a lot more than just that. In 1939 Timely Comics was established. Within a decade that was to become Magazine Management/Atlas Comics. In 1961 it rebranded itself yet again.…

RunPee Guardians Of The Galaxy Hub
—
The latest, and final, episode of the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy was released yesterday and I have seen it twice already! I think it is fair to say that I think it is a resurgence for the MCU after a few less than spectacular offerings. Guardians Of The Galaxy was renowned for the humour,…

Christmas Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Holiday Special
This may be a bit late. It was released back in November 2022 but, somehow, we never reviewed it! Now, with all the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 kerfuffle. I thought I should take another look and write a few words about it. OK, I know it is a Christmas special but May isn’t…

Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Volume 3
I’ve said elsewhere that I was a little late coming to the Guardians Of The Galaxy party. At first I wasn’t a fan but when a pre-Avengers: Endgame rewatch required seeing it again I was won over. So when Volume Three was announced I was quite excited. Excited to the point of writing an anticipation…

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+’s latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker. The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously that’s chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. That’s way more than the first two days of other highly…

Iron Man – 15th Anniversary Rewatch Review
Yet again another reminder that, to quote Andrew Marvell, “But at my back I always hear, Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”. I was sitting with my grandson, Theo, and he had put on “an old film” which he quite liked. He’s only four and a half so his idea of what is “old” is somewhat…

Superman: The Movie – 45th Anniversary Rewatch
—
Forty five years!!! One of the things about getting older is that there are so many anniversaries that keep popping up. Only last week one of my FaceBook memories was a posting I made about it being the 40th anniversary of the release of Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I remembered that being released!…
