Always being able to find half an hour for a short film — and having a Netflix subscription —…

Movie Review – Reminiscence
—
This movie had the potential to be great, yet it was just okay. Don’t take me wrong, I enjoyed it. Especially the great performances by Hugh Jackman, Thandiwe Newton, and Rebecca Ferguson. Bonus points for Asian actor Daniel Wu, who was the Prince Charming in every girl’s dream back in the 2000s in China. I…

Movie Review – The Night House
—
What a disappointment! The previews that I’ve been seeing had me really excited to see The Night House. It looked like it was going to deliver us something new and fresh. I think they tried but it fell so flat for me that I was tempted to leave. It was torture finishing it up. I’m…

Movie Review – The Protégé

Indie Movie Review – The Last Thing Mary Saw
The Last Thing Mary Saw starts off as a stereotypical American Gothic horror; all darkness, black clothing, and moodiness set in mid 19th century New York. The first thing is a John Calvin quote “All events whatsoever are governed by the secret counsel of God” which always seems to me to be saying “do whatever you want because…

Movie Review – Don’t Breathe 2
—
I’ll let you know that this movie pushes the limits on a number of touchy issues. It was extraordinarily well done, I really liked it but it did trouble me. I can’t explain why because that would ruin the gruesome surprises. So be forewarned, you’re in for a bumpy ride. Not surprisingly, I was on…
