First View Movie Review – Triangle (Groundhogs Day… at sea)
It’s funny how some films never get a chance because of a bit of marketing that doesn’t quite hit the spot, and so you just don’t bother looking past the poster. That’s what happened with me and 2009’s Triangle. The poster in question shows a blonde woman wearing a blood smeared top, holding an axe…

Indie Movie Review – Volcanic UFO Mysteries
UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects, are a staple of sci-fi films. From the White-House-destroying ship in Independence Day to the possibly more benevolent aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the terrifying alien abduction in Fire in the Sky. (Okay, that last one’s based on a true story.) But what if UFOs are…

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…

First Watch Film Review – Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Is Eternal Sunshine a Groundhog Day Loop film? Let’s explore! Here we go with another film that, for some unknown reason, I’ve never seen and am not sure why.

Indie Movie Review – Paintball Massacre
—
Paintball Massacre begins with Lee Latchford-Evans standing on a bridge overlooking a railway line while we hear a train approaching. He’s obviously contemplating suicide (he’s a fire officer who’s “seen too much”) until a text arrives inviting him to a school reunion and he changes his mind. Many parents of young girls over the last twenty…

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. We start off with Marcy (Siobhan Williams) waking up in bed. She seems a bit befuddled, and a scan around her bedroom shows a lot of wine bottles — which gives the…
