Movie Review – Red One
—
My expectation was that this movie would rely on some well-trodden tropes to give the story a little scaffolding and then lean on antics between Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson to make it work. 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,…

Movie Review – Small Things Like These
—
Small Things Like These is a haunting exploration of sorrow and human resilience, beautifully brought to life by Cillian Murphy’s fantastic performance. His portrayal carries the weight of the film’s somber themes, while the supporting cast complements him superbly, adding depth to the narrative. The overall tone is undeniably depressing, enveloping viewers in a pervasive…

Movie Review – Elevation
—
I didn’t have great expectations for this movie, but fortunately, they were exceeded. Structurally, Elevation is similar to A Quiet Place. The movie opens with radio news/chatter about the attack and then we jump forward three years later. Focused I like disaster/alien-invasion movies that are focused on a small group of people as opposed to…
