Movie Review – Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin.
—
Let me tell you, this was a hard movie to watch so soon after the results of the last election here in the US (2024). The echos of Germany 1933 are still audible and seemingly growing louder. About the movie The acting was good, not great. I think it’s mostly due to the script being…

Independent Film Review – Overkill
—
Within the first five minutes of Overkill, Taylor (Carol Kim) is brutally murdered in her home. She is stabbed many times by a man inside her room. The man was there to kill her…not to rob, kidnap, or assault her. He came with his own big, sharp knife and knew that there would be nobody…

Surprisingly, the story ends up about where you would expect, but it takes some unexpected routes to get there. Bonus, it…

Independent Film Review – Holiday Twist
—
Ah, Christmas films! I have a definite soft spot for them. As we’re just seeing off Halloween there’s nothing much to get excited about before the season of greetings, giddy glee, and gemütlichkeit gets under way. As a result it’ll do no harm to start getting in the festive spirit. Maybe I don’t need to…

Independent Film Review – I’m Charlie Walker
—
When is a true story not a true story? When the opening card says “Based on a true story” and the closing one says “All characters and events in this film, even those based on real individuals, are completely fictional.” So is I’m Charlie Walker a true story or not? Well…yes and no. The story…

Independent Film Review – The Avenger
—
I do like a puzzle. Admittedly I prefer when I know that I’m doing a puzzle rather than just not being 100% sure what’s going on. I started watching The Avenger “A British action, gritty, style ‘TAKEN’ set in London and LA based on a true story” as it describes itself. The story is, undeniably,…
