One Lyfe to Live delivers!
14 September 2023
I was drawn in from the very start of the film. As a former New Yorker I absolutely love how New York this film feels. The production value was quite impressive and the runtime ran perfect throughout the narrative of this gripping film. The actors all brought their A game and delivered memorable and unique performances. This is a very character driven film that feels fresh and original full of raw emotions. The score and direction of this narrative are brilliant and come together in a very authentic and believable way that makes me want to see more from this incredibly talented team. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solid and authentic drama.

One of the best Indie movies I've seen in a long time.
25 August 2023
I had a very good time with this film. The production value and twists and turns this movie takes you on is top notch. I won't give anything away but the ending was fantastic I didn't see it coming but it left me very satisfied. The filmmakers and talent behind this production should all be proud at this truly unique film that keeps your attention and interest throughout the runtime. I also appreciate the fact that this film isn't overly long, in todays world movies tend to have overly inflated runtimes. Here the runtime is perfect not too short and not too long. The score plays very well and I absolutely recommend checking out this indie gem. I look forward to what comes next from the filmmakers.

edge of your seat
14 August 2023
Toxic Impulses grabs right a hold of you right from the start. It is a fantastic neo-noir thriller. This movie pulled me right in right from the start and kept right a hold of me until the end. This movie is so well shot that it adds another exciting layer to this already incredible movie. The cast is absolutely phenomenal and work so well together, making this story that much more believable. This was such a fun movie to watch. I loved all the unexpected twists and turn that seem to be around every corner. This is a must watch movie if you love noir. So grab your bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show, I know I did.

Into the Park (2022)
9/10
super supernatural thriller
14 August 2023
Into The Park is a well written supernatural, horror, thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. All the actors did a great job in making this story so believable. Kudos to the casting director for finding great actors that work so well together. I love how this movie is different than most of the films out there today. I was on the edge of my seat totally enthralled. I loved the scene of the brother caring for his sister when they were trying to get out of the house and shielding her so she would not have to see the horror that had taken place. Along with the suspense there are several emotional scenes.

Vendetta Road (2023)
9/10
great suspense
14 August 2023
This movie had me glued to the screen holding my attention from start to finish. This was filmed in a beautiful location, giving you beautiful visuals through out. Vendetta Road had me guessing and tense all throughout. This is well written and the actors did a superb job. This was a fun watch for me. I really enjoyed it. The music was great to as it really added to the tension that I was already feeling watching this. Big shout out to the cast and crew on a job well done. The fighting scenes were great and very well done. If you like a good suspenseful thriller grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show.

this movie is so entertaining
14 August 2023
Summer With The Guys is the perfect movie night pick. The story flows nicely right along. It's been awhile since a movie has made me laughed this much. You really don't want to miss this one. I know I'll be watching this one again when I need a good laugh. They did a perfect job when they cast this movie. All the actors had great chemistry with each other which added to giving this movie a genuine feel. They really played well off of each other.

In today's world it's great to find a movie that has you laughing all the way through and at the same time giving you an enjoyable story to follow along with them on their journey.

well done relatable movie
3 August 2023
Dirty Beautiful is a captivating story. A struggling writer, David, unexpectedly meets up with a free spirited woman named Kat. They couldn't be more opposite from each other. Following along with them on their journey through the movie keeps you glued to your seat. This movie is so well done. The story line flows so well. The actors are all fantastic. This is beautifully shot with attention to details. I really enjoyed this film, it really has everything comedy, romance, drama, and even suspense. I highly recommend this movie. It is so well done you really feel like you are experiencing this right along with them. Two thumbs up for sure.

Anu (I) (2023)
9/10
Wonderful and heartwarming
2 August 2023
I was drawn in from the very beginning to this wonderful and heartwarming movie. This film is one that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Several themes are explored throughout this film such as spirituality, loss, and cultural heritage all seen through the eyes of the young lead actress who does a phenomenal job at bringing her character to life in a very grounded and natural way. The cast is all very talented and each brought their characters to life in a wonderful way. The quality of the film is top notch for an indie film from the lighting, camera work, sound, editing, and music. Everything comes together in this emotionally character driven story in an exceptional way.

A sequel that proves better than it's predecessor!
2 August 2023
It's not often that a sequel is better than the first film, but in this case the filmmakers and cast improved their crafts. The lighting in this film is stunning especially in moments like the stalker's lair. The story really brings you in as Steve looks at his past mistakes and wants to rectify them, while this is going on the stalker is unveiling his new twisted scheme. The cast come together really well and the two roles that were recasted being the stalker and Wendy were an improvement in my opinion (the previous actors were fine but there's a noticeable difference in a good way). I love the addition of Officer Harrison (Paul van Scott) and Officer Daniels (Jason Faunt) I appreciate the film noir elements lightly woven into the fabric of the film and the use of older technology giving it that neo noir feel. Troy Fromin returns as the ever so creepy Craig, he brings a lot of humor and comedic relief in the movie that never overstays its welcome. The two sons played well and gave a sense that they were a family that had been through trauma. Jessie Bell (Wendy) and Chad Ayers (Steve, who really shines during the climax) give an incredible performance as someone who is dealing with ptsd from the traumatic events of the first film all while trying to stay present for her family while they try to go back to a normal life. The Stalker played brilliantly by Sean Nugent is absolutely terrifying and plays it completely insane in the best possible way, I loved his bit on the phone. The cinematography was really good and again improved. The production value felt bigger and better from the nightmare sequence to the Stalker's lair to various prop pieces that look and feel very dynamic especially considering this isn't made by a major studio. The Stalker part II is a fun ride that never stops and remains fun.

Exemplum (2023)
10/10
Impressive and thrilling indie
7 April 2023
I loved the look of this film including the fact that the movie itself is in black and white I loved the choice to do that. The lead carries his role very well. The writing was fantastic. I was intrigued throughout the movie and never felt bored while watching it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a brilliantly made thriller. It is always impressive to watch a well made indie film. It's a great modern thriller that was very well directed and shot. I loved the twists and turns throughout this modern thriller. I can't wait to see what comes next for this brilliant group of filmmakers.

Fugued Up! (2022)
9/10
Brilliant dark comedy
7 April 2023
I was hooked from the start. I loved the premise and I was very excited to see what would happen next and figuring out what the outcome might be, I won't spoil it but it is well worth the watch. I found myself also laughing out loud multiple times throughout the film. The cast all had phenomenal chemistry with each other and really brought their characters to life in a unique way. It was great seeing industry pros like Joe Estevez and Jan Broberg. The production quality was on point and looked and sounded wonderful. I'm very excited to see what comes next from these talented filmmakers. If you're looking for a fun dark comedy look no further.

Good indie film
18 March 2023
This Character driven dark comedy was made impressively well considering the movie's budget. The characters were relatable and flawed humans, much like real people we all know. The emotions we're all there and performed well by the cast. I really enjoyed the music in this particular film. The setting for this movie was brilliant and I loved the movie theater location. As a former New Yorker myself it was great seeing this part of New York on camera. Peter O'Brien is a very talented producer, actor, writer, and director. I look forward to seeing more of Peter's work in the future. I will happily recommend this to a friend.

Kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat
17 March 2023
I was engaged from start to finish. I loved the cinematography it gave the whole movie a very rich cinematic feel. I loved the classic mustang. The Actors were all fantastic especially the lead. The story was engaging and original. I love discovering well made Indie gems like these. It was great seeing a movie shot in Nebraska, I can't say I've ever seen a movie shot in Nebraska before. I loved the chase scene and the action was exciting and well choreographed. The poster caught my eye and the film itself did not disappoint. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a well shot and well written indie thriller.

Fantastic and beautifully shot film
14 March 2023
From the start I was drawn in by the cinematography. I was very impressed with the production value and effects. The actors all did a fantastic job bringing their roles to life in such a way that we feel for them along their journey. The fight scenes all worked but never got in the way of the story. I have never seen a Vietnam or war film with this take before and I commend the filmmakers for taking a risk and doing something that I don't believe has ever been done before. In the age of constant remakes, sequels, and spin offs it was refreshing to see something new. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a good watch.

Great watch
29 August 2022
This film does an excellent job at giving us a story we haven't seen before all with some very good actors. The Camera work was great I found myself pausing and rewatching several shots because I enjoyed them so much. I really enjoyed the music including the end credits song I'll have to find the name of the song. I really loved that they incorporated the werewolf card game into the film I don't think that's ever been done before. I give the film an 8/10. I recommend this film if you're looking for a good watch you won't wanna miss this. Good indie films don't get enough credit. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the film. I kept guessing what might come next. Loved the twists and turns.

Something Bit Me (2022– )
10/10
Great show
15 May 2022
Something bit me is an engaging show. The stories are quite fascinating and the actors are well casted and perform well. I think the episode "Lord, I'll see you in a minute." is probably my favorite. I'm hoping for a season 2. Always happy to discover a new show on Disney+

Fisher (2021)

Great film, kept me on the edge of my seat!
9 November 2021
I loved Fisher it had an excellent story and magnificent actors. My favorite actors in the film were Jessie Bell and Alexander Chastain both brought a sense of realism and likability to their characters. I kept guessing the whole time who the killer was and I was very surprised by the ending. Great film not to be missed!

Takes you back to the original show old school megazord and all. The highlights are definitely the suits, the stunts, the megazord, and some good actors. If you have the time and you like power rangers check it out.

Really liked it
27 May 2021
I quite enjoyed this indie sci-fi film. From the beginning I was reminded of the R rated sci-fi films of the 1980s. Everyone involved should be proud this was a well made film all around my only slight complaint was I'm not a huge fan of cgi ships and what not I prefer practical effects they are usually cheaper and look better. But that doesn't take away how good the movie was. The make up, props, and costumes were my favorite part of the movie.

Some of the best Power Rangers story telling out there
20 March 2021
I do believe this is some of the best Power Rangers story telling out there. This series takes itself seriously while still being very fun. This pays respect to both super sentai and power rangers franchises while adding its own unique flavor. The writing is quite honestly the best (in my opinion) we have ever gotten with anything power rangers related. I love how the Ranger/sentai lore is respected and utilized for this. The voice cast is superb, the music is fantastic, and the overall direction of the series is wonderful. If your a rangers or sentai fan I encourage you to check this out.
