First View Movie Review – Murder on the Orient Express (No Spoilers)
I very much enjoyed 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. As an avid mystery book reader, I’d heard of the 1934 novel in question, of the writer Agatha Christie, and even knew bits and pieces about her recurring eccentric detective Hercule Poirot. (It’s the kind of name that sticks with you.) But that is ALL.…

Indie Movie Review – The Dinner Party (2020)
I was quite looking forward to seeing The Dinner Party after I saw the trailer and, to be honest, I wasn’t disappointed. It all revolves around the titular dinner party, which is being held by some local power brokers. A playwright, who wants his latest effort produced, has come along with his wife to try…

Movie Review – Pixie
—
This was a spur of the moment decision. Whilst sitting in the cinema yesterday (Thursday) I saw a trailer for Pixie and, as I had nothing planned for the next day thought I’d book tickets on the way out. I can hear you all now saying, “You dull bugger, that’s why they show trailers!” …But…

New Movie Review – The Empty Man
—
October is my favorite month: it contains my favorite holiday, and I know Hollywood will provide me with my fix of new horror movies. I can’t get enough of them. Until last night. The Empty Man really disappointed me. They totally dropped the ball on editing and painting a picture that would make us care.…

Movie Review – Honest Thief
I can’t recommend seeing Honest Thief; not even on DVD/streaming someday; it offers nothing to the genre worth sitting through. The story is painfully predictable. The characters are cardboard. The acting is uninspired. I can’t fault the actors. There’s not much they could do with this plot and dialog. Spoilers ahead: Here’s an example of…

Indie Movie Review – Fugue
Fugue opens with a two part definition of what a fugue actually is… A period during which a person suffers from loss of memory, often begins a new life, and upon recovery, remembers nothing of the amnesic phase. A musical form consisting of a theme repeated a fifth above or a forth below the continuing first…

Movie Review – Enola Holmes
—
When you have an idea as original as Sherlock Holmes you expect it to get milked for all it’s worth and, unsurprisingly, that’s what’s happened. The Guinness Book of Records has listed Holmes as the most portrayed literary human character in film and television history, with more than 75 actors playing the part in over…
