Quantum Cowboys (2022)

Wild Ride

[9/10 · 15 November 2023]

Super blend of animation that is fascinating to watch. Interesting and engaging from start to finish. Great and wacky cast. Strap in for this wild ride. Lily Gladstone anchors the cast along with some very strong supporting performances. Love the connection between the multiverses and the styles of animation. Who could imagine a cast that includes Kiowa Gordon, David Arquette, John Doe and Alex Cox. Add in Gary Farmer and Neko Case and John Way and you have as many acting styles as animation styles. The original music by Neko Case and Howe Gelb is great. This film really pushes into creative story telling and was super enjoyed it.

Maysville (2021)

Nicely shot movie

[9/10 · 5 August 2022]

Extramundane (2022)

Well done gritty suspense

[9/10 · 29 July 2022]

Una Great Movie (2022)

Funny, touching and worth a watch

[9/10 · 26 July 2022]

Six Years Gone (2022)

Emotional Thriller

[9/10 · 24 July 2022]

This is a well done movie about a mothers search for her child. It is a gripping and very well acted drama. It moves on the emotional as well as thriller scale. Story is solid and the lead is very strong, You don't have to be a parent to identify with the lead. I recommend Six Years Gone.

Beguiled Company (2021)

elevated genre film that delivers nicely

[9/10 · 26 November 2021]

It is dark at times, with a bit of subtle comedy, but if you are fan of these this genre you won't be disappointed.
