RunPee Star Wars Hub
The 45th anniversary of the first film in the Star Wars franchise is rapidly approaching. It would have been nice to say that the premiere was on May 4th but, back then, no one knew that they had such a phenomenon on their hands. As a result the US release date sits three weeks after…

JB, Or Not JB, That Is The Question
Imagine if Ian Fleming had been a US Marine rather than British Naval Intelligence. Furthermore, imagine if he’d written about a secret agent operating in the dying embers of the Cold War rather than during the whitest of white hot parts. Let’s just say, imagine if he was Robert Ludlum rather than Ian Fleming. So…

It’s A Wonderful Live
We all know that films have had to be rearranged, rescheduled, and generally buggered around with. Plague 2.0 took no prisoners and everyone and everything was held to ransom. Over a hundred films had their release dates delayed. Some, like Tenet, were delayed for only a few weeks. That was released as a test of…

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 bow so he can pick…

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 was in it. Oh…I love…

Movie Review – West Side Story
I love West Side Story, even though it’s a sad, “bring tissues” type movie. My love, however, seems restricted to the 1961 West Side Story movie, and the play. While I haven’t seen this on Broadway (and there’s a sly nod to Broadway in the first three minutes of the 2021 film — did you…

Movie Review – Don’t Look Up
—
This was an A+ movie at all levels: acting, directing, story, message, humor, cinematography, wardrobe… Okay, maybe not wardrobe. But still: A+ In case you didn’t already know, Don’t Look Up is a satire on the USA’s reaction to climate change, but they replaced the climate crisis with a comet. What stands out most for me is…

The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. DUNE I’ve read the Dune series more times than I remember. And I’ve seen every video adaption made, numerous times. I can come close to quoting the character’s dialog line-for-line. Therefore, I can only review…

Make a Pitcher of Margaritas for your Cinco de Mayo Movie Marathon (with a Latinx themed film list)
Our RunPee British correspondent never had a margarita. At least not yet. I’m helping him fix this massive oversight, but he probably won’t like them: margs — and tequila — might be an acquired Mexican taste. Or rather, a part of Americana that’s been stolen borrowed from our neighbors South of the Border. Still,…
