The Surveyors (2023)
Well Done!
I enjoyed this film from start to finish. I thought the movie's premise was solid, and the pacing was excellent.
I find it refreshing to see a well-thought-out independent flick, and this production checked all the boxes for me.
I thought the main character was believable, and his struggles with debt were relatable to the average person.
The cinematography was top-notch, as the film was shot cleanly. The sound production was well executed, and the compose helped to set up the proper atmosphere and overall suspense for the viewer.
The supporting cast members all seemed to do a great job of keeping the film's acting at a high level. I would recommend The Surveyors to anyone looking to watch an intriguing thriller.
Target List (2023)
It makes you think big-time!
In Target List, we get a movie that delivers nonstop action, adventure, and cleverly timed moments of comic relief. Starring Rachel Alig and Justin Ray, this independent flick is all about the dirty deeds of a fictitious pharmaceutical company (Orphium) that hires an assassin to thwart the efforts of a creative team of doctors and scientists and their cancer-curing device called WAND.
Produced by Mad Wife Productions, Target List entertains and delights from beginning to end. The fictional story delivers a critical message to its audience by talking candidly about big medicine and the drug industry.
I almost got the idea from the film's writers that Target List is more about truth than fiction. The production gives movie enthusiasts an inside look at what probably happens in real life and behind the scenes of corporate medicine.
Is modern health care concerned with getting people well or keeping them sick indefinitely to profit from diseases never intended to be eradicated by big science, big pharma, or any other corporate entities? This is what Target List is suggesting to its viewers.
This is a timely film, and the movie addresses a subject in many people's minds. Running at 100 minutes, Target List is a gem, and I am glad I could watch it with my family.
The Alternate (2021)
Absolutely Fantastic!
It drives me up the wall when I read reviews that claim a film has terrible acting and a poor script when, in actuality, the production was fantastic.
The Alternate is such a film. It is cleanly shot, and the acting is top-notch, and I was wholly invested in the movie the entire time.
I am a big fan of sci-fi films, especially independent flicks. This movie has everything going for it. The plot is strong, the pacing is perfect, and the conclusion is satisfying.
I am a novelist and filmmaker, and it bothers me when I see people grading a movie poorly simply because a major studio did not do it and the project doesn't feature big-name actors.
I loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone interested in watching a cool story.
Asteroid City (2023)
The Cure for Insomnia!
I was looking forward to watching this movie, but then I watched it. I honestly fell asleep. Now it is true that I am operating on a low-calorie diet, and perhaps that fact was a causal factor in my inability to remain conscious during the flick.
I tried to like the film because of all the hype and good reviews. I believe movie studios pay for all the positive ratings and stellar remarks.
I looked at the other 12 people in the theater and thought most were sleeping too.
I guess the people praising Asteroid City saw something I did not. This film is a head-scratcher for me.
If you have a hard time with insomnia, I think I have found a cure.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
WTF Did I just watch?
I love movies, just not this one. Everything Everywhere All at Once might be a good feature film in another universe, but it's not too good in this one!
I don't understand how the film received so many good reviews. I could not wait for the damn thing to end.
To each their own, but I feel like this thing was a horrible waste of my time.
Spoiler Alert: The movie is bad!
