Rewatch Review – Calendar Girls

November 22, 2022

During this autumn I’ve had the pleasure of hosting RunPee Jilly. She had had enough of sunny San Diego and came to stay in wet and windy Wallasey for a bit. This time of year, we’re only allowed forty two minutes of sunshine a day so, as you might guess, we’ve spent a lot of […]

Movie Review – Peace River

March 4, 2022

Peace River caught me off guard. I knew nothing about the movie going in. Lucky for me, prior to the showing there were interviews with the writer/actor, Benjamin M. Jones. He truly wrote this from his heart. I felt it throughout the entire film. The story was endearing, heartbreaking, and full of real-life situations and […]

Indie Movie Review – Echoes Of The Past (2021)

February 21, 2022

Let me get something straight right from the start. Echoes Of The Past was quite hard work. Not because it was badly made or acted but because it was based on a true story that was one of the most appalling examples of humanity or, more accurately, the lack of it: The Kalavryta Massacre (Σφαγή […]

Indie Movie Review – The Pilot: A Battle For Survival/Летчик (2021)

February 21, 2022

Last week I got to review my first ever Kazakh film (Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It/Жаным, ты не поверишь!); both as a viewer and as a reviewer. I said something about previously thinking of foreign films coming from either Europe or the Far East. Getting one from somewhere in between was a bit of a […]

Movie Review – King Richard

November 19, 2021

The only knock on this movie is that we know how it ends. If this were fiction, there would be drama. But there’s also the enjoyment of knowing that this is a true story. This family does overcome the obstacles in their path. That’s far better than any dramatic fiction they could have provided. The […]

Indie Movie Review – When I’m A Moth

October 18, 2021

I was quite looking forward to When I’m A Moth for a number of reasons. Last October I reviewed a film called The Wall Of Mexico — which I enjoyed — and when the preview invite for When I’m A Moth popped up, some of the names rang a bell. Those names were Zachary Cotler and Magdalena […]

Movie Review – The Last Duel

October 15, 2021

This is a hard movie to watch, but at the same time, it should be watched. That makes it difficult to give it a grade. If I grade it on the enjoyment I’d give it a very low score. But if I grade it with respect for the narrative, the message, and the skill of […]

Movie Review – The Courier

March 23, 2021

Whenever I do Peetimes my husband requests I call and let him know I’ve made it home safely. (He’s a truck driver out on the road.) I started my call with, “You better thank Oleg Penkovsky for even being alive.” He didn’t know what I was talking about. Of course neither did I, two hours […]

Indie Movie Review – Werewolf (Wilkołak)

February 25, 2021

I’m ashamed to say that I know very little about Poland. I know nothing about the arts, the culture, the history, or the people. I once knew a woman of Polish descent, but that would be a bit like me saying I’m of German descent… theoretically true, but practically pointless. All I know for sure […]
