So while hitting the net, I happened to come across a film that had some real mixed reviews and not a lot of publicity. Kill Kill Faster Faster is definitely a film noir that has every reason to be speculative on. Gareth Maxwell Roberts shows us a story about a man named Joey “One Way”(played [...]
I just happened to come by this new Sean Willaim Scott movie. He is definitely changing his style, getting away from the whole college cool boy routine, and trying out a bit more polished comedy in this one. Sean william Scott and John C. Reilly star in this comedy. Doug Stauber (Scott) is an assistant [...]

Publisher of the hacker magazine, Emmanuel Goldstein 2600.com heads an investigation into the wrongful way of convicting this computer specialist.

One cannot begin a review on The Dark Knight without first mentioning the late Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. It was nothing short of extraordinary. He was the best evil minded joker in the history of this tale. No one will ever be able to portray this role again. Heath Ledger gave a performance [...]
In the mood for a great end of summer sci-fi flick? Well then you’re out of luck if you have chosen this one my fellow movie goers. Babylon A.D. is another one of those quickly pushed out, over budgeted, try to be summer blockbuster that just does not stack up on any level. I usually [...]
Tropic Thunder is a film about a film. We have a group of hardcore actors (hardcore as in they get way into their roles) making a film based on a former Vietnam soldiers book called “Tropic Thunder”. John Tayback (Nick Nolte) is the vet and sits in on the filming of our fab five Tugg [...]
No Burgers for Bigfoot is a mockumentary about a struggling, small-town filmmaker named Michael Justice with no budget trying to make a film called “Return of the Bigfoot.” He has bad brushed back 80′s hair, a creepy blond mustache and these utterly ridiculous flip-up sunglasses. He wears nothing but cut-off jean shorts with a Hawaiian [...]
Hackers Are People Too is a documentary exploring the history and culture of individuals commonly know as “hackers.” The film sets out to debunk the myth of hackers as these sort of nefarious cyber-criminals and paint a more sympathetic picture of them as intelligent, respectable and hardworking citizens. The argument this film makes is that [...]
If you want to tell a story about a boy who meets a girl you will meet nobody in the theatre. Heart-break breaks no ice any more with anyone and someone wining a lottery wins no heart if you are not that someone. A genius old uncle is ancient and a homeless immigrant is not [...]
The Deposition is a dark and emotional drama written and directed by Eddie Mensore. While the story is very basic at its core, centering around Adam Long (Charles Rashard) who inadvertently kills his lover in a brutal car accident, some stunning cinematography and an incredible score come into play which helps the flow of this very slow paced indie [...]
A prophecy of doom coming true Writer/Director Alan Gorg This movie PROPHECY&POLLUTION (80 minutes) was requested by Hopi elder activists a half-century ago, but writer/director/producer Alan Gorg took about fifty years to put together this mix of documentary, docudrama, and animation. Meanwhile, history caught up with the Hopi prophecy that digging out Mother Earth for [...]
James Debbeldam’s Fallen Before Falling seemingly disregards any attempt at craft though obviously drawing direct inspiration from these films.
This superficial plumbing has not been more accurately presented than with the Edmonton-by-way-of-Drayton Valley film The Corrupted (2010).
I enjoyed the feature film L.A. Nights, written by, produced and starring Nick Angel. This film, based on a true story, was something new and refreshing and it managed to surprise the audience and also deliver a real message, which opened a new pathway for thinking. and the plot summary: Based on a true story, [...]
It’s not often I get to watch a movie that feels like it has been written, produced and directed deliberately for me, a wannabe independent film critic. Spoiler Alert is a real gem with an incredible script and very solid acting from start to finish. The movie is centered around a passionate film geek “Brad [...]
There is nothing more amazing to watch than a wonderful children’s film. Getting the balance just right is not only tricky, but a skillful tightrope walk akin to Philippe Petit traversing between the two World Trade Centre towers in 1974. If the filmmaker nails it they create a film that transcends time, culture and generation [...]

Manhattanites is a dramedy from Loger, Inc and director Gregori J. Martin that follows the lives of a group of New Yorkers who get so caught up in their lives they tend to lose sight of what’s really important to them. The film has some dramatic moments, like when entertainment lawyer Marilyn Marsden confronts her [...]
