The Questionable Ethics of 'Rust' Resuming Production
On Thursday, October 21st, 2021, actor Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger on what he thought was a 'cold gun,' a real gun on the set of a movie that is not loaded. Unfortunately, this particular weapon was loaded and when Baldwin pulled the trigger, a bullet struck Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and killed her. It also wounded director Joel Souza who was looking over Hutchins' shoulder as the shot was fired. Hutchins died on the way to the hospital.

Movie Critique Throwback: Blank Check
This movie has been my all time underrated favorite Disney film compared to Polly and Angels in the Outfield (all 90s Disney underrated live action films). The movie opens Carl Quigley (played by Miguel Ferrier) an inmate escaping from finding his money in abandoned cottage. Preston Waters (played by Brian Bonsall), eleven-year-old, dealing with a crisis, his bullied older brothers: (both played by Chris Demetral and Michael Faustino) are taking over his room to start their Hand and Foot business, and he's not getting much allowance money. At the amusement park for Butch's birthday party, Butch (played by Alex Zuckerman) Preston's bully, which I don't know he's there and how he got invited. Maybe Butch's dad knows Preston's dad or maybe childhood friends or next door neighbors. Preston had to watch his friends have fun and he rides on the lame rides. The funniest part was when he was Preston holding cotton candy while Butch and his friends and a huge wave got at Preston. At dinner, Sandra Waters, Preston's mother (played by Jayne Atkinson) gives him a birthday card from his grandmother. In the card, it was a blank check for Preston but Grandma forgot to write the amount of payment. So Fred Waters, Preston's dad (played by James Rebhorn) and businessman writes the amount of $11. Preston meets Shay (played by Karen Duffy), an attractive banker, the way she walks is like a Marvin Gaye is about to come on.

Review: "Hellraiser"
Clive Barker is known for a certain kind of horror that revels in pain with slight tones of sex. His work in Hellraiser is no exception in this case with its kinky overtones and visually striking villain, Pinhead. The original films had their share of fans due to the visceral nature of their proceedings. All of the things you could expect to see in a remake are here, such as sadomasochistic monsters and a cast of morally questionable characters. Still, unlike the original, it doesn’t stick the landing, nor does it have bite.

I Came By
Sometimes, you watch a movie, and the opening scenes don't show much promise but you decide to stick with it and later find it is actually good stuff. That was my experience watching the movie I Came By. It's compelling and meaningful and will probably leave you slightly downhearted at how closely it mirrors real life. It glaringly highlights society's class divides; the challenges in providing justice to the poor, the marginalized, and the unprotected as well as how the rich, powerful, and highly connected get away with almost anything.

Why Your Favorite Franchises are getting "ruined"
We all know the situation. It's been happening to all your favorite stuff. Your favorite book series, movie franchise or video game sequel. Whatever it is, if you've been around long enough, your favorite thing has been "ruined" or you've seen people complaining about it. Either way, there's a very simple reason for it. It makes money by guaranteeing that you have a lot of eyes on whatever product you are trying to push out.

What I Saw at Fantastic Fest at Home 'Give Me an A' 'Amazing Elisa'
I would have loved nothing more than to travel to Austin, Texas to be part of Fantastic Fest as it unfolded September 22nd to September 29th. Sadly, I was not able to be there in person. Instead, I settled for covering Fantastic Fest At Home which offered selections from the Festival that were made available online. This included features and shorts, documentaries and a wild selection of new release movies that fit the uniquely Avant Garde reputation of Fantastic Fest. I've already had the chance to write about a pair of documentaries that I adored at Fantastic Fest, you can find my reviews of the wild A Life on the Farm and Lynch/Oz linked here. And I could not resist writing about the bizarre experience of the horror film All Jacked Up and Full of Worms, a full length review you can read linked here.

Love In The Villa
Two strangers -Mortal enemies. A turf war - Apologies. Enemies to friends. A misunderstanding. A profession of love - Passionate lovers - The end. Sound familiar. Yes! Like every romcom that ever was. But what would make this one stand out from the crowd? I'll tell you. It's the ambience, the history, the lovely sights and sounds, the poetry, and the celebration of fine wine and Shakespeare. Love in the Villa is a delightful movie for lovers of rom-com, travel, history, fine wine, poetry, and literature. The scenic locations, wine, spats, crazy taxi drivers, and other quirks all add to the beauty of this movie. If you enjoyed watching A Perfect Pairing, you will definitely love this movie.
