Questionable..
19 July 2020
I have seen other documentaries regarding the biblical plagues and the exodus. I found them quite fascinating and interesting. Not to sound too racist but a group German scholars coming up with a new "historical" spin on the plagues and the exodus kinda smacks of the way things were about eighty years ago in that country. You can watch it for yourself but that's my take on this questionable documentary series.

Is this the new history of WW2???
22 June 2020
I have never seen a program whose facts and situations were so out of sync with the actual history. And it is not like this is some obscure historical event, you can watch many excellent programs on WW2, but this ain't one of them.

I enjoy Jeremy Renner but how did he get sucked into this. Jeremy, brother, you should have cracked a book and told these people rewrite this or get someone else. This is bad for your reputation.

Nice Brazilian zombie series (2020)
19 June 2020
This was a lot of fun. No real political bend except that sleazy politicians are everywhere and always manage to screw everything up out of their ego being much larger than abilities. That said, it was a fast paced, short episodes, a little over 30 minutes each so you don't get bored, that was just a really enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. So in closing, watch it, there are worse ways to spend about 5 hours of streaming.

Excellent indie by first timer Cameron Covell
23 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In response to the reviewer "1/10 Utter crap", I will state that I don't know anyone who had anything to do with this movie.

That said, I throughly enjoyed this. It had more than a few laughs which is a refreshing feeling, as most "funny" movies usually aren't that funny.

And Blind Gertrude aka Regina (Allison Andreas) stole the show. She was hilarious. And the rest of the group held their own. The plot was nothing new, but it rarely is nowadays, but it was passable. As a first time movie, that pushed it from a 9 to a 10. Keep them coming Mr. Covell.

Will this win an Oscar? NO Will it give you a bunch of laughs? YOU BETCHA

52 MINUTES OF MY LIFE WASTED...
12 January 2020
NO SPOILERS. THERE AREN'T ANY. Whether Mr. Hand or Mr. Callaghan directed this, it is not worth the small amount of time that went into this abject farce. It is 52 minutes run time but in truth there is actually only 20 or so minutes of film. The rest is repeated stutter shots, supposedly to "build tension and terror" but only succeeds putting me to sleep. I did actually stop around the 20-22 minute mark and was going to stop it right there but I read the only and first review here and decided to give it a chance. I don't know who wrote that review but they are either "special" or they have some relationship to this...umm... film??? Or just on a lot of very heavy drugs??? I don't know. Save 52 minutes of your life and pass on this crap.

Tiki (2006 Video)
9/10
Not gonna be Oscar material but a lot of laughs
25 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed this very much. I know it's listed as horror but it extremely humorous. Between the cops joking about early retirement to the tiki's garbled sounds, I got quite a few really good laughs. Plus the actor playing the drama teacher looked like he was gonna start laughing quite a few times.

It is a very very low budget film but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it. And I did enjoy it.

AN AMAZING DOCUMENTARY
19 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The computer "nerds" are much smarter than I am. To be able to get so far into Magnotta's head to figure out clues from movies and serial killer/victims. Granted, they had over a year to do so, but still pretty damn impressive. I thought to myself that his acting career didn't take off because he was not very good. But by the time it was over I would have given him an Oscar for acting and another one for his screenplay/story. Like I said, those nerds are pretty damn smart. I hope that twisted Magnotta never gets out of prison but it is Canada where a life sentence doesn't mean life. And that's a shame. But he might be surprised to find out that a lot of convicts really have no respect for abusers of the defenseless and that includes animals.

Had to be an indie because it hits very close to the truth of our current culture...
28 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Sure, this movie is cute, funny and very entertaining but the underlying truth is that this how our society has become. A snowflake minority makes a loud racket and certain groups of our citizens become outcasts because of their actions or what they believe. You have guns, you must be someone who might be dangerous or your some kind of threat to society (Franny getting searched at the mall by a rent-a-cop just because she has been singled out by some government agency and publicly shamed by being forced to wear a scarlet letter). Smokers were made pariahs, some began vaping and now government groups wish to do the same thing, saying they are protecting people from themselves. This movie was loads of fun but look to the underlying truths and they are scary for our country and the world in general. If you enjoyed this movie then check out IDIOCRACY (2006), very funny but the underlying truths are even more worrisome.

Please, get a sound editor...
26 August 2019
An uninspired story but that's alright. I like indie films but what I can't stand is a total lack of any illusion of sound editing. You literally couldn't hear normal conversations unless you crank it up and then the music, sound effects and tracking/ static that are inserted every 20-30 seconds nearly blew my speakers out. Please, try to be professional by finding a good sound editor. Please...

Get a sound editor PLEASE !!!
18 July 2019
Excellent indie film. But the sound is horrible. I mean, when you get to the dialogue, you have to turn it up to hear, then the music cuts in at three times the volume. And sometimes, one or two words in a sentence blare at two to three times the volume of the rest of the sentence. Maybe it's the boom man or your mics BUT even these, should be taken care of in the editing. Watched on Amazon but I don't believe that this is on them. Love your work but please get someone who knows what the heck they are doing with the sound. Nevertheless, keep up the excellent writing and directing.

Good old-fashioned ghost story...
30 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This is a no-slasher, little-gore, story driven tale. Josh Stewart is excellent in his role as the low or no scruples banker, who spins out of control (aided by liberal amounts of liquor) and who finds after one murder, more killing gets easier. Frank Whaley does a fine job as the easygoing, laid-back local boy sheriff trying to piece the multiple murders together. If you would like a good old-fashioned ghost story, then this is a good one.

WTF???
3 April 2019
I've got more entertainment value off the bottom of my shoe. Twenty minutes of this gave me a splitting headache. Should have titled this "D**chbags showing their ignorance". If I could, I would have given it a negative number rating. Don't waste your time!!!

GREAT INDIE
26 February 2019
Great indie movie, made probably very cheaply but with a lot of laughs. This is a great devil cult/ horror spoof. Made me laugh quite a few times, so that is saying something nowadays. Much funnier than a lot of Hollywood movies of this type. Kudos to the actors and crew, and I hope to see more of this kind of work in the future.

Bad night in San Diego...
8 January 2019
This is an excellent example of how indie films should be. Acting is good, as is cinematography but the story is excellent. The story is the same as many indies but it has enough differences to be unique in its own way. I hope Akihiro Kitumura will have the opportunity to make many, many more films. I believe that he will be very successful if given a chance.

Really, really bad or maybe just me
2 January 2019
What the heck is this? Maybe I am just too dense to get it, but I have never seen a movie this bad! Save yourself a hour and a half and do not waste your time. Thank God I didn't have to spend any money on this crap, it was included with Amazon Prime. Hey, like I said, maybe I am just to stupid to comprehend, but I don't think so.

Goldfish horror
16 December 2018
If you have the attention span of a goldfish, then this is a perfect anthology movie. I don't mind short stories in an anthology but 40 to 90 seconds is just a little too quick.

Excellent indie film

This is the way indie films should be made. Excellent story, good enough acting and cinematography. It is well worth the time to watch and enjoy.

La Traque des Nazis (2007 TV Movie)
10/10
Impressive, unique documentary
22 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I have watched many documentaries on WW2 and the nazism. This is one of the best I've ever seen about the post-war hunts, trials and more hunts to bring war criminals to justice. Some of the situations will boggle your mind, like how a person can be sentenced to life in France for decades but can't be extradited from Germany. Or how hundreds of war criminals could hide in plain sight, under their own names for decades and then be upset when they are called out for their past actions. Or thinking because it was so long ago that they should be treated like their actions never happened. A very excellent documentary and worth your time.

Bad Samaritan (2018)

Super thriller...
7 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is a well crafted, fast paced thriller. Acting is top-notch and the story is character driven. David Tennant is superb as the rich egotistical psychopath. If you want a hold on to your seat thriller, then you have to watch this gem by Dean Devlin.

Great Asian horror...
6 November 2018
Great Asian horror film. Asian horror stories are much less graphic than American. But in my opinion just as good or in some cases better. They concentrate more on stories than special effects. If you can enjoy the story driven films, I believe you will enjoy this one.

Clown Footage (2018)
1/10
Utter rubbish!! And very boring!!
5 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Don't even waste your time as this indie, neither scary nor even mildly interesting. The entire movie is about one guy telling the other how good-looking, talented and special he is. And he is none of the above. But he is a d**chebag of the first order. You'll find yourself wishing that the clowns would hurry up and kill him! I truly wish I could have given it a negative number rating.

In another word HORRID
3 November 2018
I could only make it through the first 20-25 minutes before I finally said enough. I'm all for indie movies but this one is truly horrible.

Good old-fashioned ghost story
30 October 2018
Kudos once again to the BBC for another good, old-fashioned ghost story. This one was a great tale with quite a few truly unlikable characters and well written, directed and some top-notch acting.

Excellent British period piece
19 October 2018
Well done supernatural story with some very original twists. Give this one a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Kudos once again to the BBC.
