No Watch Film Review – The Butterfly Effect (We can’t watch this movie again. Here’s Why.)
So as Groundhog Day rapidly approaches the people of the United States (honestly, before the film, I’d never heard of it and I think that is true for most people outside the USA), we’ve been doing rewatches or reviews of films that use the time loop trope. Some fit the Groundhog Day format better, while others are peripheral…

Rewatch Movie Review – Twelve Monkeys
For the record, Twelve Monkeys was suggested to me as a rewatch to tie in with the Groundhog Day theme, however, there is no way that Twelve Monkeys is a Groundhog Day film.

GHD Indie Movie Review – The Endless
So where do I begin with The Endless? It only just squeaks in as a Groundhog Day type film. Not because there isn’t a time loop, more likely because there isn’t just the one.

That’s what happened with me and 2009’s Triangle. The poster in question shows a blonde woman wearing a blood smeared top, holding an axe…

Indie Movie Review – Fugue
Fugue opens with a two part definition of what a fugue actually is… A period during which a person suffers from loss of memory, often begins a new life, and upon recovery, remembers nothing of the amnesic phase. A musical form consisting of a theme repeated a fifth above or a forth below the continuing first…

Movie Review – Inception (No Spoilers)
[ No Spoilers for Inception ] Right down the line, from acting to directing to writing to musical score to effects, this movie is top notch. In some cases brilliant. There’s not a weak link to be found. There are very few movies that twist and turn between action and drama with Gatling gun speed…
