Odyssey- a tense London crime thriller
Odyssey is the kind of gritty, tense London crime thriller that slowly pulls you under its skin. I honestly wish I had caught it during its SXSW run because it feels exactly like the sort of late-night festival discovery that sparks conversation afterward. Directed by Gerard Johnson, the film drops viewers into a pressure-cooker world of debt, desperation,… Continue reading Odyssey- a tense London crime thriller
IS GOD IS: Revenge Served Fiery Hot
In 2018, playwright Aleshea Harris’s ” Is God Is debuted Off-Broadway to some critical acclaim. It was only a matter of time before Hollywood would adapt it for the big screen.

THE SHEEP DETECTIVES Features A Charming And Amusing Flock of Detectives
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
