  • New Year TV Movie Review – Doctor Who
    I know that it is a pretty widespread phenomenon. Doctor Who definitely has fans all over the place. I’m not altogether sure when it actually started to get noticed in the USA but it has been a favourite over here since, pretty much, day one.  Day one was back in …
  • RunPee New Year Hub
    Here we go again! Another cycle around the Sun marked by an arbitrary bank holiday. As with other holidays, there are a few films set around the festivities. At the moment we only have a few films reviewed but there are a handful of films which we have available to …
  • RunPee Christmas Hub
    Jilly’s original Christmas Hub has served us well over the years but I thought that it may be time for a little reorganisation. Basically, all the good stuff is still here, and will still be added to, but I think it is just a bit easier to find. Enough of my …
  • Christmas TV Special – A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
    The Goes Wrong Show is unusual in that it almost seems like it was made the wrong way around…there was a Christmas special, then another Christmas special, and then a couple of series were made. Actually, there was another Christmas special slotted in between the two series! But all that …
  • Christmas TV Special – Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale
    Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais may not be particularly well known names across the Atlantic but one of their creations, The Office, has been shown around the world and adapted into various local versions. Their follow up was absolutely delicious, full of high profile star cameos, and also managed to …
  • Indie Movie Review – Christmas At The Holly Day Inn
    Ah, the way that the film industry plays with the calendar! We haven’t had Hallowe’en yet and the Christmas films have started! Fortunately, I’m more of a Santa guy than a spooky guy. So, flick on the Gemütlichkeit switch and let’s see what we have to start with. It turns …
  • 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 First Watch Review – The Ref (1994)
    Ah yes, Christmas is, first and foremost, a time for family. Mind you, with a family like this one I can understand why people going off skiing somewhere distant or stock up on microwave roast meals and keep the curtains closed. Throw in the heightened fears of burglary surrounding houses …
  • Christmas Classic First Watch Review – We’re No Angels (1955)
    What links Batman, James Bond, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Steptoe & Son? Obviously, one answer is the 1955 film We’re No Angels otherwise I’d be rambling even more than usual! There is also more than a sprinkling of whimsy and imagination but I’m guessing you’re all getting used to …
  • Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Stalag 17 (1953)
    Now, before we get too far into this, let me make one thing clear. This is, most definitely, a film set at Christmas rather than a Christmas film. However, the remit was to include every film that has a Christmas tree, Christmas card, a red nosed reindeer, or mentions Christmas. …
  • Christmas Movie Review – Spirited
    Same as buses! Wait ages for one and then they all start to arrive at once. So it is with Christmas films. Last week I had a look at Christmas In The Caribbean and now I have to add another to our Christmas film hub…Spirited. Apple Studios have produced a …
  • Christmas Indie Movie Review – Christmas In The Caribbean
    And so it rolls around again…Christmas! I can’t complain too much though; I’ve already seen three houses with their trees up and Asda have had mince pies on sale since September.  Hell’s teeth, hot cross buns are on sale! I know that a lot of people take the completion of …
  • Accidental Rewatch Movie Review: A Merry Friggin Christmas (2014)
      Let me get this off my chest: A Merry Friggin Christmas is a terrible movie. It’s even worse to compute, knowing the absolute talent behind it. Here’s my experience: after a first watch — then re-watch immediately again — of Dan Harmon’s cult classic Community, I wanted more of the …
  • Themes On A Christmas Carol – Blackadder’s Christmas Carol (1988)
    I know that a lot of people outside of the UK only think of Mr Bean when they hear of Rowan Atkinson but, trust me, he is far funnier than that character. As has been alluded to many times, I am getting on a bit and can remember him in …
  • Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – First View Review of First Blood
    Whenever you hear of a film with Rambo in the title, you’ll no doubt think of wall to wall violence, tidal waves of blood, and a soundtrack consisting mainly of gunshots, screams, and explosions. You may also think of bulging biceps as Rambo hauls back on the string of a …
  • Non-Christmas Christmas Films: Home Alone 2 – Lost in New York (1992)
    It’s another Christmas, a year later, and young Kevin is lost again. I’m not sure if there’s some intensely bad parenting involved, or if the kid just attracts trouble, but so it goes. It’s basically Die Hard 2, with a ten-year-old, and everyone in-universe pretty much knows it. “Not again” is …
  • Christmas Classic First View Review – A Christmas Carol (1938)
    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 …
  • Christmas First View Review – An American Christmas Carol (1979)
    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 …
  • Classic Christmas Rewatch – Home Alone (1990)
    So I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movie category – the ones I call Non-Christmas Christmas Films. This fun category includes such classics as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Gremlins. Iron Man 3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I have a useful list going here. But in that post, I …
  • Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Christmas In Connecticut (1945)
    I’ll admit that this was a total surprise. As is rapidly becoming traditional, here in RunPee Towers, this time of year means that there are Christmas films to be watched.  We do try and get other themes going for other holidays but, as a lot of them are unheard of …
  • Christmas Classic First Watch Review – White Christmas (1954)
    I’ve never been one to make any undue effort and, in a similar vein, I don’t like to waste any effort accidentally made. When I had my moment of confusion over Holiday Inn and White Christmas the obvious thing, to me, was to save the notes I’d made and use …
  • Christmas Classic First Watch Review – Holiday Inn (1942)
    I’ll admit to being a bit confused by Holiday Inn. I intended to see the film with the song White Christmas in it and, obviously went for the one called White Christmas. Now I knew that Bing Crosby sang White Christmas but I was also fairly confident that Fred Astaire …
  • Christmas Classic Rewatch Review – Scrooge (1951)
    Elsewhere I wrote about how and why A Christmas Carol was written and how it’s been adapted many times on screens both large and small. It’s the most often adapted of all of Dickens’ works, with over thirty film outings. Oliver Twist comes second with a mere eighteen.  It’s been …
  • Christmas Documentary Review – ’Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2021)
    ’Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2021) from Apple TV+ is another of those films that emphasises the difference between the USA and the UK. Over here we’re only vaguely religious in the main. By that I mean that when you go into hospital they always ask your religion. The majority …
  • Non-Christmas Christmas Movies – Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
    It seems odd, looking back on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from this side of the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — that it was touch and go whether or not Robert Downey Jr would get the lead role of Harry Lockhart. At the time, RDJ was considered to …
