Marie (2023)
Hidden Gem Of A Film
When I first started watching the short film Marie on You Tube I didn't know what to expect from the description stating that it was about a call girl meeting an older man in a run down room. What I got was a moving,touching and even inspirational.
The short film opens is a two person film. It opens with the call girl applying makeup on her face preparing to meet the older man who had called her. There was a sadness about her but she was resigned to the fact that this was her profession and she left to meet the older man. But she is totally surprised when she meets him and instead of sex only wants to talk to her. She first finds this weird and is going to leave but he talks her into staying.
Julians Galofre plays the call girl and does so with perfection. There is a toughness but also vulnerability as well. Darren Cruz plys the old man and is equally as talented. The one line he says in the movie is so true. The older you get the less people want to listen to you. He is a good man who has suffered tragedy from his daughter. He has a quiet sensitive personality and they act well together. In the end she exits his place with a different attitude,she seems happy and perhaps sees him as a father figure and he sees her as a daughter.
This short film packed more in around 12 minutes than most feature length films. I see Juliana Galofre only has a few credits she should have many more she is that talented of an actress. The same goes for Darren Cruz who has appeared in over a dozen films. I love this film!!10stars!!!
Street Survival (2006)
Well Done Low Budget Street Movie
I love a well done low budget movie which I consider this one is. What works is that most all of the cast are unknowns and it gives it more grit and realism. You have good versus evil and at the end revenge. The movie goes at a good pace and has good performances Michael Francis as the ruthless druglord Diego and his beautiful henchwoman Ania Zalewski. Rey Hernandez and Barbara Perez are also impressive in their roles. This movie doesn't try to overextend itself on its low budget but as the title states most of the action occurs on the street giving it an authentic feel to it. One of my favorite low budget movies!
Eye for an Eye (2019)
Low Budget Movie With Some Merit
No denying this is a very low budget film but I thought it was a good story with many twists and turns. Alex Sturman made a good heroine and Shirley Dalmas was a great villainess. Their confrontation in glider planes was well done and the highlight of the movie to me.
I have seen a lot worse big budget movies of similar type. Even though the special effects were spotty throughout the film it actually lent a certain charm to me thinking back to low budget films made in the past. The movie kept me entertained throughout. The rest of the cast was good to adequate. I will give the movie seven stars.
