MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Motivational Growth’

Film: Motivational Growth Director: Don Thacker Starring: Jeffery Combs, Adrian DiGiovanni, Danielle Doetsch I am really at a loss here. I have been tasked with reviewing the film Motivational Growth and to be entirely honest I am quite unsure how to put what I just watched into coherent words. Think of the last time you had a vivid […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Under The Dark Wing’

Film: Under The Dark Wing Starring: Jessy Rowe, David Graziano, Fiore Leo Directed By: Christopher Di Nunzio The trick to making a successful low budget short is to make sure it is compelling, visually stimulating, and satisfying to watch. This may sound like a fairly simple thing to do but go to your favorite video site […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Homefront’

Film: Homefront Director: Gary Fleder Writers: Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Logan Starring: Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder Action stars cannot be action stars forever.

MOVIE REVIEW: A.C.O.D.

Movie: A.C.O.D. Director: Stuart Zicherman Writer: Ben Karlin, Stuart Zicherman Studio: Black Bear Pictures Divorce used to be such a taboo subject (I am told).
