Indie Documentary Review – J.R. ‘Bob’ Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius
First glance at J.R. ‘Bob’ Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius and I thought I was in for a satirical comedy at the expense of the multifarious religious groups that proliferate in the USA. Then I thought it was going to be a documentary about one of those weird denominations and its congregation. Turns out that J.R.…

Indie Movie Review – Housesitter: The Night They Saved Siegfried’s Brain
—
Housesitter: The Night They Saved Siegfried’s Brain started off intriguing me before I even started watching it. With a screener link usually comes some supporting info, stills, posters, blurb, etc. and it sounded interesting. Of course it does, I hear you say, that’s why they send it. But hear me out… Housesitter: The Night They Saved…

Indie Movie Review – Sinbad The Fifth Voyage (Ultimate Director’s Cut)
Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage Ultimate Director’s Cut, to give it its full title, hooked me in from the first words. Mind you, they were spoken by Sir Patrick Stewart and I would do anything asked of me by that voice! I’m old and straight but if he asked, I’d think about it. Fortunately I know…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: “Blockbuster movie gets a new release date”
You know what this reminds me of? The lyrics from the classic rock song Fly Like an Eagle: Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping… Into the future. Except replace time with release dates: Release dates keep on slipping, slipping, slipping… Into the future. When will this end? When theaters can be packed. There’s no way for that…
