Indie Short Review – Wives Of The Skies
Wives Of The Skies just popped up out of the blue, and I hadn’t heard anything about it — but it being only a shade over twenty minutes long, I thought I’d give it a quick watch. I’ll be honest — I hadn’t a clue about what I was going to see and was kept…

Indie Movie Review – Hawk & Rev: Vampire Slayers
I’ll be honest. As soon as this started running I thought, “here we go… another low budget, low talent, low quality bit of nonsense,” but I was pleasantly surprised! I’m sure that it is a low budget piece. The sets seem to be back alleys, back gardens, and public roads. The cast are all new…

First View Movie Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
—
Well now, wasn’t this a peculiar movie? Although that can be said for anything Director Tim Burton puts his hand to. Here he plies a Brit version of Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

Classic Movie Review – Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991)

New Movie Review – Mulan (Live action 2020)
The obvious first step with a look at a film like Mulan is to do a compare and contrast piece with the 1998 animated version. And, obviously, there will be a bit of that but, bottom line, it would be a bit like comparing and contrasting apples and tractor parts… Other than the name and…

First View Movie Review – Primer (2004)
Primer was made with $7,000 USD, filmed mostly with two guys talking in a garage, and took home the Grand Jury Prize from the 2004 Sundance Festival. It features time travel, paradoxes, and a very dense script full of jargon. Primer doesn’t give anything away, and is barely comprehensible upon the first viewing. And that’s…

New Movie Review – Bill & Ted Face the Music (before a series rewatch)
Whoa. Bill & Ted 3: Face the Music didn’t suck. Not even decades later. The trilogy finale (one we never actually asked for) in Bill & Ted Face the Music is a worthy follow up to the wacky 80s and 90s time traveling com-fantasies, giving us two slacker characters we grew to love over the…
