Jill’s Top 10 Movies of 2020
Well, let’s start by saying 2020 sucked, movie-wise. At least in the theatrical releases. With the pandemic keeping us inside, theaters have been (mostly) closed all year — tough for film fanatics like us. The trickle of new wide release films hasn’t provided much in the way of outstanding offerings: I’ve had to fill in…

Indie Movie Review – Expulsion
Expulsion starts with a quote from Stephen Hawking’s last published work… We are not down to a single, unique universe… So if, like me, you’ve got even a passing interest in science fact and/or fiction, you’ll know that we’re talking multiverse theory.

Some are well done in certain ways and not so much in others; well shot but badly acted, good story but poor dialogue, and various…

As if dinosaurs weren’t scary enough, imagine a T-Rex with a huge gun strapped to its head. Then, they are your last line of defense and…
