Blow Up My Life
(2022)

Good Suspenseful Movie
I really enjoyed seeing this suspenseful movie at the Austin Film Festival. It is a non stop roller coaster ride till the very end. It is very relatable to the opiate crisis we have today. The characters and the story are an added plus to this film. It also makes me wonder what the pharmaceutical companies have in mind with this opiate crisis we have today. In this movie, all the research the main character does into what the pharmaceutical companies are doing is making it worse for him especially with this woman he calls his cousin comes into the story. This is what builds the suspense and is very engaging to the audience.

The Sno Cone Stand Inc
(2008)

This movie is very funny
I see a simularity between this movie and "Office Space" where the characters want to get away from the corporate world and venture out on their own with a small business. Obstacles get in the way, but eventually they find an idea for a product that sells. The humor in this movie is very funny.

Beyond the Night
(2018)

Very Engaging
I was totally engaged in this whole movie as I watched it from beginning to end. The characters were believable and the little boy was awesome. This story evolves from a missing teenage girl who disappeared several years earlier and the only one that can solve this mystery is the little boy. The boy didn't realize this until he and his father visited the town his father grew up in which the boy had never seen.

Off the Record
(2019)

Dark Comedy with a Dynamic Character that drives the story
I love the opening scene. That's what got me hooked. Then the rest of the story is about what happened to the main character that ended up there. I like how the main character is seriously flawed, but has a good character arc when he reveals that he needs to change the dark side of himself. I like how the story focuses on the main character because his dynamic character is very engaging. And of course it is filmed in Austin, Texas, a city which I love.

The Shack
(2017)

Spiritual Movie about a Near Death Experience
This is a beautiful movie. It is about a father whose young daughter is murdered that has a near death experience. The cinematography is beautiful and with great special effects. I found this movie to be very spiritual and not religious.

I also liked the way the film was able to answer questions that the father who lost his daughter had about God. It is definitely a thought provoking movie. In this movie beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The most interesting part of the movie is finding out who we think God really is and how a near death experience can help us answer that question.

Two Step
(2014)

Awesome Story
When things go bad, they can get really bad. After a young man loses his grandmother, he inherits her house and is harassed by a conman who has been manipulating her for her money. The actors do a great job with their performance. The protagonist is a young man who gets into a situation where he can't defend himself. The antagonist begins as a petty thief and becomes much worse. It is easy to see their character arcs and the plot in this story. This is a suspenseful story with good realistic drama.

I have a friend who had a small part in this film so I went to see it because of her. What surprised me was the suspense and the way the characters built tension between them.

Stranded
(2014)

Awesome Story
I just saw this movie at the Austin Film Festival this evening. The script was a finalist in the screenplay contest several years ago. I got to meet the writers last year at the festival so I understand what inspired them to write this story.

Aside from a well written script are the actors that made this story come to life. The dialog and the acting built a lot of tension between characters in this story.

The main character is a young man played who carries this story. His character is very captivating. He wants to do right by his parents, but then his conscience won't leave him alone. He finally comes to terms with his conscience and is willing to do something about it, but what he and his father thinks will happen doesn't.

The Silent Revolution of Truth
(2007)

Awesome Documentary!
This is the most incredible documentary I've ever seen about extraterrestrial contacts with real photos and videos to prove it. This is about the life of Billy Meier and why these extraterrestrial beings chose to contact him. These beings are human like us so we wouldn't be able to notice they are different from us if we saw them, but they have the intelligence that many humans desire on earth. You will find out why they are here to bring us a message to all mankind and what we can do to change earth for the better. I saw his first documentary titled "The Meier Chronicles" on VHS in 1990 and have been a fan ever since. The DVD version is even better. This is a must see documentary for those who feel that our friends from other parts of the universe can help us find peace in the world.

Paradise Recovered
(2010)

True Love Isn't About Religion
This movie has a lot more depth than to say it is about spiritual abuse which it isn't. This movie is about true love which has no religion and can be only expressed through kindness. The young woman in the film had a troubled childhood and was essentially looking for God to provide her with answers. She ended up in a cult like church run by a tyrannical minister that used religion for control and domination. Her courage to get a job outside the church started her journey with a "free spirited" young man who showed her true love isn't about religion and God is about love. I connected with the "free spirited" young man who wasn't bound by any religion, but had a philosophy of kindness and love that changed the young woman's life.

Hell Is Texas
(2000)

This is a great metaphysical story
This movie has philosophy and it has what we imagine what the afterlife could be like. If we imagine that the afterlife is another dimension like it is told in this story, we have to find out what is in our destiny and only we can change what will happen to us which may affect those around us. I highly recommend this story for anyone who believes in reincarnation and if you don't the possibility of it can be believable if you believe in the afterlife. I was thoroughly entertained and loved the characters with the special effects. Also the barkeeper with his philosophical views made the story more real since he presented the possibility of an outcome that could go either way.

S&M Lawn Care
(2010)

Very Funny
For a great low budget movie, this is it. The whole story is very funny. Drake does his best to show he is a witty humorous villain and the two producers who own the lawn care service are about a goofy as can be. The editing as also very well done to make it even more entertaining. It is amazing to me how they came up with enough twists in their story to keep the filming at very few locations with their budget. They also kept the dialog and the characters funny throughout the whole film. The female characters didn't say much, but the way they catered to their boss was very funny. I saw it at the Austin Film Festival and I can say I was thoroughly entertained with this homemade comedy.
