Indie Documentary Review – Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat
Sacred Cow or Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat, to give it its Sunday name, is a documentary about meat. Eating it, preparing it, cooking it, raising it — from semen collection to serving up… almost. Perhaps not so much of the semen end of the process; that was a different time…

Indie Movie Review – In Corpore
The sensual new film In Corpore explores the complexity of relationships. It’s the type of movie Hollywood used to make once upon a time. A mature film with adult themes made by and for adults. I had high hopes for the movie going in, but it fell short of them. What’s good about In Corpore…

Indie Movie Review – Bright Hill Road
Bright Hill Road is one of those interesting but unsettling films that make you wonder exactly what you’re watching and what you’re in for.

Shark Encounters of the Third Kind falls into the last category; not since Snakes On A Plane has the premise of a film…

Indie Movie Review – Return To Splatter Farm
Return To Splatter Farm is listed on IMDb as a Horror/Thriller. That worries me a bit, as that indicates that the humour wasn’t intentional. I don’t have the benefit of having seen the original to know whether this is intentional or not but, as is well-known, I’m a bit of a grading softy, so I’ll…

Indie Movie Review – Agent Revelation
Agent Revelation or Agent I — they don’t seem to have settled on a title for it yet, is a sci-fi, action thriller. One of the things it has going for it is a big name. To be honest, in the world of sci-fi, action thrillers it has a BIG name on board… Michael Dorn! Hell’s…

Thirst — A New Cult Classic?
The Opening Scene of Thirst NOTE: The following description is very gross. Read at your own risk. My niece once got me a bookmark that says, “Don’t judge a book by its movie.” This, of course, refers to the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” All of which is to say, be…

Indie Review-Beast Mode
Beast Mode is a hidden gem of a horror film. It stars former child actor C. Thomas Howell. His comedic performance makes the whole film. What’s Good About Beast Mode This is a solid horror-comedy. And if you’re looking for something that’s light on gore, this is a great pick. It also has some good…
