Indie Movie Review – Volcanic UFO Mysteries
UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects, are a staple of sci-fi films. From the White-House-destroying ship in Independence Day to the possibly more benevolent aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the terrifying alien abduction in Fire in the Sky. (Okay, that last one’s based on a true story.) But what if UFOs are…

Indie Documentary Review – Narratives Of Modern Genocide
—
Earlier this week I read an article that said that both Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr would both have turned ninety two in 2021 had they still been alive. Now, ninety two is a respectable age that not many of us are lucky enough to get to but, thanks to modern medicine and…

Indie Film Review – HellKat
—
There are horror films and there are martial arts films. Some might point the finger at Steven Seagal and say that there are horrible martial arts films. Trying to fit in amongst those extremes is HellKat. “Trying to fit in” is appropriate as it seems to me that HellKat has quite a few mongrel characteristics. For instance, is…

Indie Documentary Review – Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat
Sacred Cow or Sacred Cow: The Nutritional, Environmental and Ethical Case for Better Meat, to give it its Sunday name, is a documentary about meat. Eating it, preparing it, cooking it, raising it — from semen collection to serving up… almost. Perhaps not so much of the semen end of the process; that was a different time…

First Watch Film Review – Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Is Eternal Sunshine a Groundhog Day Loop film? Let’s explore! Here we go with another film that, for some unknown reason, I’ve never seen and am not sure why.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have been together since October 1972; pretty much continuously and pretty much unchanged. While the Bruce and the band are thought to be synonymous and a performing unit they have played with a wide range of other acts including, but not confined to: Air Supply, Gary U.S. Bonds,…

Indie Movie Review – Paintball Massacre
—
Paintball Massacre begins with Lee Latchford-Evans standing on a bridge overlooking a railway line while we hear a train approaching. He’s obviously contemplating suicide (he’s a fire officer who’s “seen too much”) until a text arrives inviting him to a school reunion and he changes his mind. Many parents of young girls over the last twenty…

10 Best Math Movies For Middle School Students

Watching movies with students in the classroom allows teachers to establish a stronger connection with the students, interact with them more, and create a fun learning environment. This approach not only enriches the educational experience but can also motivate students to domymath homework more effectively, integrating real-world examples from the films they enjoy.

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…
