Independent Film Review – The Imposters
—
Sometimes you’ll watch a film without realising that there is something different about it. For instance, if you started reading Gadsby by Ernest Vincent Wright I wonder how far you’d get into this 1939 novel before realising it is a lipogram. By that I mean it is 50,000 words long but nowhere does Wright use…

Movie Review – Wicked
—
Let me say upfront that I’m not a fan of musicals, so I’m not the target audience. I could be the poster child for the inverse-target audience. So, if you’re a 57-year-old white guy who doesn’t like musicals, read on. 🙂 Just because I don’t like musicals doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate them. For instance,…

Movie Review – Gladiator II

I think The Critical Drinker said it best: We are not entertained. Not to say that this is a bad movie. It isn’t. After all, this movie is directed by Ridley Scott, who also directed Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, The Martian and what else…? Oh yeah, the first Gladiator. Many of the qualities of a great…

I’m probably the worst person to send this to. Firstly, I’m not a fan of horror films. Particularly not the slasher sub-genre. I saw most of Saw, the first half of Hostel, and a couple of Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street offerings. I know that there are of plenty of perfectly nice people out…

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…

Independent Film Review – What We Find On The Road
—
What is it about Americans and road movies? There are a few road films set in the UK but, given that it only takes about fifteen hours to drive from Land’s End to John o’Groats a British road trip is never going to be a marathon excursion. The USA is a much bigger beast though.…
