Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, And How Dickens Invented Christmas

November 29, 2022

Christmas is a special time here in RunPee Towers. As well as trying to get the definitive list of Christmas films, non-Christmas Christmas films, and modern takes on an old story, we also have a soft spot for the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. Fortunately, for people like us who are keen to make lists, […]

Movie Review – The Green Knight

July 31, 2021

The Green Knight is thick with symbolism but thin on understanding. At least that’s how I see it because I have no clue what I’m supposed to get out of it. I wish Joseph Campbell was around to review this movie and critique the symbolism. If the director were to release an annotated version of […]

Movie Review – Jungle Cruise

July 30, 2021

I don’t know about you, but Jungle Cruise reminds me an awful lot of Disney’s other theme park movie inspiration: Pirates of the Caribbean. I distinctly remember the first time I saw a movie trailer for Pirates and I thought to myself: OMG, you can’t be serious. This is going to suck. And then we […]

We’d sit in the front […]

April 15, 2021

Indie Movie Review – The Parish

April 13, 2021

I don’t think it’s any secret that a film like The Parish isn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. It’s funny how I can happily accept and appreciate a make-believe world that has room for superheroes and super spies, but struggle with a world that has the supernatural running through it. Maybe it’s because the fantasy world […]

Movie Review – Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle

December 23, 2017

This sequel version of Jumanji is adorable and funny. Predictable, yes, but the story is based on a video game plot, so it’s kind of a baked-in thing. It’s also bit too pat in how each teenage character gets the perfect game avatar to grow as a person, but this is yet another thing that […]
