Movie Review – Chaos Walking
Let me start off by saying I had not heard of this movie at all until RunPee Dan asked me to see it. I also didn’t know it was based on a book. That said, I don’t know how the movie stacked up to the book. I’m wondering if the book was more detailed with…

Movie Review – Raya and the Last Dragon
—
Where’s the A++ button on this thing?? Raya and the Last Dragon is by far my favorite Disney film ever!! I loved it so much that me and my granddaughter stood up and clapped. There was a standing ovation in our theater. During the credits you’re shown that it took 400 people to make this…

Indie Documentary Review – Sex, Drugs & Bicycles
—
Buy one, get one free! Yes, you can have a political documentary AND a comedy. Ok, maybe it’s not screamingly funny but wryly amusing, observational humour can definitely be used as a description. What we have in Sex, Drugs & Bicycles is an American, Jonathan Block — Writer/Director/Narrator — who fondly remembers a trip to The…

Movie Review – Tom & Jerry: The Movie
—
Tom and Jerry was as cute as I was expecting. It was fun and full of entertainment. We were in a sold out theater half filled with children and the other half adults. I’m pretty sure I heard more adults laughing. We took our eight year old granddaughter with us and she was thrilled. I…

Indie Movie Review – Werewolf (Wilkołak)
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…

Indie Movie Review – Flesh Is Heir To
“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.” Groucho Marx has a deeper philosophy than this film. When I get a link for a film, I look for the appropriate IMDb page. Partly to see if I recognise any of the cast, but mainly to make sure I’ve got the…

Indie Documentary Review – Clapboard Jungle: Surviving the Independent Film Business
I’m assuming that, like me, you’ve seen more than your fair share of films. And, yes, I know that when you start assuming you make an ass of you and ming… or something like that. I find that there are times when a film may be less than fully captivating and your concentration might start…

Indie Movie Review – Incision
I’m fairly sure that I’ve said before that I’m not a huge fan of the horror/slasher/gore sub-genres, so it didn’t take long for me to realise that Incision wasn’t going to be my cup of tea. But, as has been demonstrated many times before, just because it’s not my ‘thing’ doesn’t mean I can’t watch it.…

Movie Review – The World To Come
—
I was really excited to see this movie. From the trailers it seemed like it was going to be a steamy look inside of two lonely women stuck on dreary farms. Perhaps a forbidden affair that was obviously going to explode in their faces. All these thoughts were running through my head as the movie…
