Cohabitation (2020)
Much more naturalistic & believable than many commercial thrillers.
Cohabitation is a solid little thriller that is worth watching until the very end. The filmmakers show the underlying issues of mental health while incorporating twists into the story that the viewers don't see coming. The acting is great, the story is good, the camera work is solid and the production value is high. The flashback scenes to a triggering car crash were well done. What I enjoyed most about watching this movie is how engaging it is for the viewer. The filmmakers did an excellent job of making the film feel true to life. Much more naturalistic and believable than many commercial thrillers.
Introspectum Motel (2021)
I did not know what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised.
Those who value steamy sex scenes will not be disappointed with Introspectum Motel. The actors are always believable, even when fully exposed. This film has a fair share of nudity and sex scenes, always shown in a tasteful manor. The story is something we've all seen before, an unfaithful husband is caught cheating but the turn of events that transpire within this motel room will make your eyes stay glued to the screen. I did not know what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised. Great storyline and talented cast. Introspectum Motel has a direct, straight ahead visual style that does not disappoint.
AVA: A Twist in the Road (2021)
A movie of HOPE.
I love that the writer/director/producers or whoever decided to tell the story with mature actors, using issues people must face as we age. Too often movies overlook these issues and struggles. I really appreciate that this film has a strong female lead, who is also older, which we don't see in many movies. One thing that the mainstream film industry constantly fails to do is make films about older people. AVA: A Twist In The Road is a great indie gem that the big studios could learn from. Thanks to the filmmakers for making this movie and for showing the world we can still find hope at any age.
Solid Rock Trust (2022)
This movie is suspense. This move is emotion. This movie is mystery.
Solid Rock Trust is an impressive filmmaking achievement. Writer/Director Rick Ives does an excellent job and Dakota Curtis' camera work is on point but it's actress KoKo Marshall that holds your attention. It essentially takes place in one location with mainly 1 actor and they deliver to say the least. It's a smart, involving, and intriguing thriller about a high end bank heist. I know what you're thinking. Is it a movie about a bank heist or about one actor in one location? It's both and it's brilliant. This movie is suspense. This move is emotion. This movie is mystery. This is a movie I recommend.
Dirty Beautiful (2015)
Jordan Monaghan as Kat is a force to be reckoned with.
Dirty Beautiful is a well-directed, well-acted indie full of wit and chemistry between characters. Not your typical rom-com movie. Right from the beginning this is a messy love story that gets real fast. Jordan Monaghan as Kat is a force to be reckoned with. She commands the screen and holds you captive in the most funny and sometimes frightening way. You've seen the "two people are stuck together in an apartment" movie before, but not like this. The main characters are thoroughly honest, and charming. Their struggles were real. It's refreshing to see a low budget indie with such great writing and performances. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this indie gem!
Daddy's Divas (2022)
Nothing to be embarrassed about with this edgy family comedy.
I happened upon this edgy family comedy series Daddy's Divas while visiting a friends family and was so charmed by it. I say edgy because so many of todays family friendly TV shows do not touch upon life's difficult situations such as losing a parent. The episodes are about twenty minutes long and full of crazy zany characters and lots of family dysfunction and sometimes dark subjects. Don't be confused however, this is a family comedy obviously written by writers that are parents themselves. The realistic writing along with a cast of actors that are not afraid to perform like embarrassingly bad actors are what make this so funny and delightful to watch. I give two thumbs up to the writers and actors!
