Indie Movie Review – Watch List
Well, that was grim! But, at the same time, fascinating. I’m not sure whether or not it helped, but this was my first venture into the cinema of the Philippines. As a result, I didn’t know if the main characters were seasoned actors or enthusiastic amateurs just reliving their everyday lives in front of the…

The app that tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie without missing the best scenes. New Movie Review – Ammonite This is not a dialogue heavy film. Ammonite is more an exercise in atmosphere, and a good excuse to get back to the theaters. I had my hopes up…

Indie Movie Review – Baby Frankenstein
This was not a good film. The overall impression was that Baby Frankenstein was an E.T. wannabe, but with a laboratory experiment replacing an extra terrestrial.

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 – The Luring
When I saw “The Luring” I thought it looked quite interesting and would make a change from the other low budget offerings I get to see. What usually happens is I get sent an email with the poster and trailer, and then I decide whether or not I want a screener so I can review…
