Miller's Girl Review- An Unrealistic Story Is Drug Down Further By Bad Performances From Its Leads
I have worked at a school for twenty years or so so I am always interested in films set at schools because of how the directors set them or the writer writes them. In the case of Miller’s Girl the writer and director are the same. Her name is Jade Halley Bartlett and her film is quite the educational experience.  That’s putting it mildly.  Mr. Miller (Martin Freeman) is an English teacher at a…

One Bullet Review Slamdance 2024- One Woman's Journey To Find The Truth About A Tragedy
“The Film Was Shot Between 2005 and 2021 in Afghanistan for the Duration of America’s Longest War, but this is not a war movie.” I’ve seen a lot of documentaries but none quite like One Bullet.  Carol Dysinger has documented her journey to Afghanistan from 2005-2021. She is part of the subject matter but not totally the subject matter. She ends up getting drawn into her own film whether she…

Sunrise Review- A Vampire Movie That Does Not Work Very Well As Such
I’ve seen quite a few vampire movies in my day. Sunrise is unlike any vampire movie I’ve ever seen. The director Andrew Baird gives this movie the most unlikely vampire in a long time. The main character of the film is the antagonist, not the protagonist but the odd stranger aspect of the story makes the protagonist not as outgoing or out front as far as the story goes.  Edward (William Gao) is…

Role Play Review- A Blandly Done Revisioning Of Something Done Better Before
Action films come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they take the shape of a rom-com. That’s the case with the latest film from director Thomas Vincent, written by Seth W Owen, Role Play. Similar in a way to Mr. and Mrs. Smith or True Lives in a sense this movie has a lot of secrets it’s keeping from some of its characters. This is a lesser version of those two films though. A married couple…

His latest action era is The Beekeeper, where he returns to form.  Adam Clay is the titular “Beekeeper”; he…

Mean Girls 2024 Review- A Shallow Comparison Of The Original Classic From 20 Years Ago
Mean Girls was a sensation when it came out back in 2004. I remember because I worked at a high school at the time. This movie was a cultural phenomenon.  It changed how girls dressed, talked, and even acted in their everyday lives. Whether it was for the good or bad this movie became part of the lexicon. Now there is a remake based on the Broadway play based on the original movie. Did we really…
