Reviews
Sound of Freedom (2023)
Deeply meaningful
This is one of those movies that leaves you in a fog when you leave the theater. It took me a while to get over the stunned feeling I was left with. It isn't a high-budget film, but it carries itself like it is. It is a perfect mix of art, entertainment, action and superb drama. The acting was excellent by all, especially the child actors who nailed their performances. You feel like it is more than just a movie. It was like you lived the experience yourself. Then again, the story is true so the movie immersed you into the terrible world of child-trafficking. This is a must-see movie, whether you are familiar with trafficking or not. And if you're not, then you must see it. It's importance goes beyond just knowing about the situation. You must do something about it.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders II (1980)
Movie is posted
I'm still a big DCC fan. This wasn't a great movie, but you could hear them speak and see them act instead of just getting glimpses of them on the field.
Avenge the Crows (2017)
Surprisingly good for a low budget movie
This isn't a ground-breaking story, but very watchable. Danay Garcia does a great job of carrying the film as the lead actor. She has names like Danny Trejo, Stephen Bauer and Lou Diamond Phillips backing her in smaller roles. This movie has its low-budget-looking moments. But overall, it's nicely edited and shot without those folks doing crazy things, trying to call attention to themselves. It was still good the second time I watched it.
