FILM REVIEWS

  • WINDCROFT

 

"Evan Meszaros’ marvel is nothing short of a minor classic.  Beautifully filmed, it is richly textured.  Even the characters in it, like the Windcroft Farm itself, are voluptuous and oppressive.  Meszaros, whose genius achieves its ideal ..."

  • DARK REEL

 

" We have seen the ‘movie with-in a movie’ idea many times – but this one took too much from Scream 3 – where ironically Henriksen played almost the identical role as big studio exec….hhhmmm.  So, yeah a little laziness in the concept department, but still fun."

Black Swarm is a fun ..."

SHE SAID: "... I can’t, in good conscience, recommend this film ..."

HE SAID: " I was enthralled with the film and didn’t move the entire time ."

  • FOG WARNING

"Billed as an “art house” film, Fog Warning fails to deliver.  Sorry Mr. Ward but, just because a movie is named after a work of art (see The Fog Warning, a famous oil painting by influential 19th century artist Winslow Homer) does not an “art house” film make.  However ..."
