Indie Movie Review – Bright Hill Road
Bright Hill Road is one of those interesting but unsettling films that make you wonder exactly what you’re watching and what you’re in for. We start off with Marcy (Siobhan Williams) waking up in bed. She seems a bit befuddled, and a scan around her bedroom shows a lot of wine bottles — which gives the…

Movie Review – The Marksman
—
After sleeping on it, I think I finally figured out my opinion of The Marksman. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t trash. Liam Neeson was exactly what you’d expect. He sees a wrong and he will fix it with his certain set of skills. Always. I just looked him up and discovered that he is…

Indie Movie Review – Agent Revelation
Agent Revelation or Agent I — they don’t seem to have settled on a title for it yet, is a sci-fi, action thriller. One of the things it has going for it is a big name. To be honest, in the world of sci-fi, action thrillers it has a BIG name on board… Michael Dorn! Hell’s…

Everything wrong with Wonder Woman 1984 and suggestions to fix it
Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84) is an insult to storytelling. It’s popular to blame the writers and directors in cases like this, but I think it’s clear that the decision makers — asshats — at Warner Brothers are the real reason WW84 is so bad. There’s a great article over at ThePlaylist.com that goes…

Thirst — A New Cult Classic?
The Opening Scene of Thirst NOTE: The following description is very gross. Read at your own risk. My niece once got me a bookmark that says, “Don’t judge a book by its movie.” This, of course, refers to the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” All of which is to say, be…
