Can a murder mystery be family-friendly? Well, such a notion might initially sound absurd, but apparently it can be pulled off. And while the plot of The Sheep Detectives does involve the killing of a character, the movie never features any explicit content or graphic violence. If anything, this film, aimed at younger audiences and… Continue reading THE SHEEP DETECTIVES Features A Charming And Amusing Flock of Detectives

One Spoon of Chocolate – Hard to Watch Yet Speaks of Reality
What the public reads in the synopsis below does not even capture the level of “danger and chaos” in small-town Ohio. Speaking for myself, there was nothing in the early scenes of the film that indicated the kind of danger that would come after the protagonist moved to a town where he had family members.… Continue reading One Spoon of Chocolate – Hard to Watch Yet Speaks of Reality
HOKUM: Supernatural Ghosts And Personal Demons Make A Compelling Combo
After premiering and frightening their audiences at this year’s SXSW, Damian McCarthy’s Hokum is now playing in theaters. Though I was definitely intrigued by the movie’s synopsis and the casting of lead actor, Adam Scott, I was unable to enjoy the film at the fest. Still, the positive buzz was undeniable, and a few of… Continue reading HOKUM: Supernatural Ghosts And Personal Demons Make A Compelling Combo
I Swear – A View into the Life of Living with Tourette’s Syndrome
The film “I Swear,” by writer/director Kirk Jones, follows Scottish activist John Davidson’s life with Tourette’s Syndrome from childhood to adulthood. I had heard of this neurological condition in my past work, but only fully understood its effects after watching the film. For those unfamiliar with the effects or how they appear in public, individuals… Continue reading I Swear – A View into the Life of Living with Tourette’s Syndrome

MOTHER MARY: A Strikingly Beautiful And Haunting Tale
When it comes to movies by writer/director David Lowery, it is definitely difficult to predict what to expect. In fact, one should expect the unexpected when entering one of his films. His utterly fascinating and undeniably affecting work in his previous movies, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon (2016), A Ghost Story, The Old Man… Continue reading MOTHER MARY: A Strikingly Beautiful And Haunting Tale
SXSW 2026 – Over Your Dead Body: a fun, energetic mix of action, comedy, and thriller
Over Your Dead Body is one of those films that knows exactly what it is—and embraces it with a grin, fitting the theme that SXSW programmers appeared to promote for this festival – graphic violence and broken people. Directed by Jorma Taccone, the premise is deliciously simple: a dysfunctional couple heads to a remote cabin under the… Continue reading SXSW 2026 – Over Your Dead Body: a fun, energetic mix of action, comedy, and thriller
MICHAEL: An Example Of Post-Production Issues And Poor Choices
I won’t lie: I had qualms going into Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic. As soon as I heard a biopic was in the works, I wondered how it would turn out. Would it simply celebrate his tremendous talents, address MJ’s unusual behavior and history of parental abuse, or explore the controversies surrounding the molestation allegations… Continue reading MICHAEL: An Example Of Post-Production Issues And Poor Choices
SXSW 2026: OVER YOUR DEAD BODY – A Suprisingly Great Remake of An Also Great Norwegian Film
At the 2021 Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, I enjoyed a hilarious, yet tremendously violent, action-comedy-thriller from Norway titled The Trip. In the U.S., this movie didn’t get a theatrical release, but it was picked up by Netflix, so it probably didn’t get the attention it deserved, and unfortunately, it became a faded memory for… Continue reading SXSW 2026: OVER YOUR DEAD BODY – A Suprisingly Great Remake of An Also Great Norwegian Film
