My quick rating - 5.4/10. Looks like this one is going to be a B-budget anthology of sorts. Whispering Hollow Road is story number one and sees an "older guy picking up a stranded girl" story. We already see what it is he likes to film shortly before finding this new girl. Most of the time, they'll make it look like the car is moving with scenes out the window, maybe shaking the car. Not this movie. Just dead black and doesn't even bother trying to make it look like movement

My quick rating - 4.7/10. Sure, I only watched this because I have a friend who has a daughter named Tamara. Well, if she aspires to grow up being a sexy witch, then this is the movie for her. A typical school of cool kids, who are not cool in the slightest, set out to play a prank on the socially inept, shy girl, Tamara (Jenna Dewan). But unbeknownst to them, she also practices witchcraft. Well, when they accidentally kill her and bury her in the woods, she comes back to lif

My quick rating - 6.8/10. By far the best film of the After Dark film festival from 2007 (if you don't know what that is, look it up!) Anyway, the plot was excitingly original. You are hunted and killed every day and wake up in a new life. Sound confusing? At first, it will be since you have to figure out why you are so important and who that woman is who keeps appearing. The story is woven extremely well, and the journey is by far better than the destination. This is one of

My quick rating - 7.1/10. Another one of the Oscar nominees this year, and one I have no idea what it is about. That scene on the boat during the storm is priceless. I'll digress. The movie presents a captivating story of a group of strangers who meet on a luxurious yacht that takes them on a journey they never imagined. The film cleverly examines the dynamics of the human psyche and how people react under extreme pressure and stress. The characters presented are all quite u

My quick rating - 3.8/10. Always good to see the very underrated Robert LaSardo pop up in flix, although I prefer seeing him in things with a bit more production quality than this one. He and Greg Nutcher were the only familiar faces and, coincidentally, the only ones who could act in the slightest. Not that B-budget horror flicks are known for their acting, but the others, especially the kids, seemed oblivious to everything going on. The family is desperate and forced to t

My quick rating - 5.5/10. I am quite glad that stuff such as this is finding its way over a bit easier now. Not that this is some monumental flick like Parasite was, but still entertaining and wouldn't have found a way to my screen a decade ago. It opens up quite nicely, and I have to say I was genuinely really enjoying the narrative this one laid out. It opens with a schoolgirl being hunted by a monster and killed. It then cuts to Asuka ( Kanna Hashimoto ), who hears a voic

My quick rating - 4.7/10. It was the middle of the road, and didn't try to be all about fighting or comedy, more drama really. The acting was fine, and yes, Triple H held his own, not getting wrapped up in the WWE thing. Michael Rapaport was good for comedy. Plot was exactly what you expect, released from prison, drawn back into crime....etc. Parker Posey was great (what else is new). If you go in like some jackasses will, assuming it's a wrestling flick, you will say it su

My quick rating - 6.5/10. This Oscar nominee is one that I know very little about. I did catch Cate Blanchett on the Colbert Show during her press tour and got a quick rundown of the basic story, but before that, I knew nothing about the fictional composer. This flick explores the complexities of the international world of Western classical music, with a focus on the life and work of the fictional composer Lydia Tár. The film features a talented cast, including Cate Blanche
