Indie Documentary Review – Rom Boys – 40 Years Of Cool
Cards on the table… I enjoy a good documentary. But then comes the sticky question… what makes a good documentary? That it has to be well made and entertaining, so that you want to spend the time watching it is a given, but what moves things to the next level is when there is a…

Indie Movie Review – Jurassic Thunder
Fancy something totally bizarre and ludicrous? Jurassic Thunder is your baby! So you have a secret base with weaponized dinosaurs… I’ll just let that sink in for a second. As if dinosaurs weren’t scary enough, imagine a T-Rex with a huge gun strapped to its head. Then, they are your last line of defense and…

Indie Movie Review – Monster Force Zero
—
Sometimes you see a poster, a trailer, or a bit of blurb and just think “Yes! Give me a ticket!”. Actually, I think that’s kind of the point… ah well, excuse me having a senior moment! Anyway, Monster Force Zero is such a film. I’ll say from the start that I’m not a CosPlayer. Not…

Hobbitses – A Tolkien history – Behind the Lord of the Rings in epic fantasy films
Typical! Wait decades for a film with hobbits in, and six come along at the same time! At least, that’s how it felt. Like many teens of the time, I had my copy of the single volume paperback edition of The Lord Of The Rings, shortly after it was first published in 1968, having…

Indie Movie Review – Widow’s Point
Oh dear… what to say about Widow’s Point? Full disclosure — horror is not my genre I just don’t buy into the whole supernatural thing. Having said that, I will watch almost anything (Editor’s note — yes, he will!) and have seen most of the last three years’ worth of newly released horror films when…

Indie Movie Review – The Tent (no spoilers)
I’m not sure what to say for the best here; if I didn’t have to worry about spoilers I could write a much more comprehensive review. For the first half to three quarters of this film I was thinking, “Is it a horror? It’s not very horrific. They could have replaced the ‘monster’ with a…

Indie Short Review – Wives Of The Skies
Wives Of The Skies just popped up out of the blue, and I hadn’t heard anything about it — but it being only a shade over twenty minutes long, I thought I’d give it a quick watch. I’ll be honest — I hadn’t a clue about what I was going to see and was kept…

Indie Movie Review – Immortal (Mild Spoilers)
Immortal is a compilation film; four shorts that all share the theme of someone being, well…immortal. There’s no link between the segments — other than at least one of the protagonists in each part can’t die, regardless of what they try to do. Each of the various parts are all equally well done in terms…

Indie Movie Review – Hawk & Rev: Vampire Slayers
I’ll be honest. As soon as this started running I thought, “here we go… another low budget, low talent, low quality bit of nonsense,” but I was pleasantly surprised! I’m sure that it is a low budget piece. The sets seem to be back alleys, back gardens, and public roads. The cast are all new…
