A Second Chance (2018)
A heartfelt move of redemption
In this touching indie film, three young girls find themselves entangled in the wrong side of the law, setting off a journey of self-discovery and redemption. While the production may lack the polish of big-budget blockbusters, it more than compensates with its genuine storytelling and heartfelt performances. As the girls navigate the consequences of their actions under the watchful eye of the law, they embark on a path of transformation that extends beyond mere penance.
Each girl's encounter with strangers in need serves as a catalyst for profound personal growth. From the poignant tale of a homeless man burdened by a past tragedy to the spiritual awakening experienced by another, these interactions weave a tapestry of empathy and understanding. Amidst their trials, the film delicately explores themes of forgiveness, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit, leaving a lasting impression on both characters and audience alike. Heartwarming and sincere, this indie gem is a testament to the power of redemption and the capacity for change in even the most unlikely circumstances."
Best of Enemies (2015)
When TV talking heads were educated and well spoken
Best of Enemies An awesome documentary which looks at the debates and personal rivalry between conservative, pretentious talking head pundit William F. Buckley Jr., and liberal antagonistic Gore Vidal in the tumultuous year of 1968. Very well done documentary. I wish they had showed more of the actual discussions and a little less of the media hype surrounding this great feud between two geniuses who just happened to have completely different views regarding nearly everything political. There should be debates like this today between learned and interesting pundits instead of the brainless, media grabbing news whores we have today on almost every news channel, and I use the word "news" sparingly when referring to the likes of FOX and MSNBC. It's interesting to note that although there were some radically different things going on in 1968...one could easily compare the premise of the two ideologies today in 2016. Definitely worth the watch.
My Mother's Replacement (2015)
Thoroughly enjoyed this drama/short film by Dreams Come True Films
My Mother's Replacement takes on the difficult topic of mental illness and does so without depressing the viewer. In fact I would say that it is also a feel good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Everything from the dialogue, acting, music and camera-work was well done and I am looking forward to seeing more from Dreams Come True Films. I love independent films and especially those made in non Hollywood locations. I enjoy seeing filmmakers find their footing and just get better and better. I also like that this film has a powerful message and helps take away the stigma of mental illness. I would recommend this film to friends and colleagues. Well done!
