VHS Violence: Bootlegged (2022)
It's a no from me
I dare Dustin Ferguson to make a different movie, every single one is the same. Random compilation of the worst YouTube videos you've seen in your life. All they had was an iPhone 6, some weed and some red food dye to create something out of this nonsense. Found footage movies are easily the most hit or miss and this was a giant miss. Boring stories and characters who were just trying their best by the actors but unfortunately if a series of bad directors are involved it's obviously going to be a hard no from all around. I would probably avoid this like the plague and let everybody live their normal lives out on the field.
Love Letter to Mom (2021)
Meh!
Pretty standard stuff. Just a girl talking in front of a camera talking about issues. This seems to be a regular theme in this director's line of work. Plainly average and easily can be achieved by most folk with a camera.
Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope (2017)
As a fan this was okay
True to its source material and really interesting graphic effects. Kudos on the filmmakers for trying to get this right!
Set Me Free: Vol. I (2016)
A wonderful, yet gritty film. This is out there!
Despite parallels with appalling real-life news stories, Set Me Free is neither a thriller nor a film about crime and/or captivity. If you've seen the trailer then you'll understand that there's more to this film than meets the eye anyway due to it's bizarre storytelling. Instead, it's a clever film about how the human spirit may transcend physical boundaries, and the disparity between external and internal freedom through the eyes of Lauren, our protagonist. Asche and Spencer's music for the film emphasises the gentle domesticity, rather than the shrieking claustrophobia, of Lauren's circumstances, later giving way to sustained ambient chimes that lend an unearthly edge to our own alien world. There's something very "Lovely Bones" about it as it is charming, eloquent and dark when it needs to be. As for the performances, only a couple of characters did not match the stronger actors during the scenes, but Nina Taylor is nothing short of perfect as the strange girl around whom this trembling universe revolves. Smith has the intelligence to trust his cast to show us the world in a different perspective.
This is something special. Don't ignore it. Especially the follow-up second chapter.
