Seems like a glorified prologue to a stunning series not a separate film!
It's a half film as some already said.…

Forging personal connections can be difficult enough these days, even in casual circumstances. But what happens when we require someone to play a vital role for a pressing need and no one is available to stand in? That’s when it may be time to place a call to Rental Family, a Tokyo-based company that provides individuals to step in and fill the missing link. It’s also a perfect opportunity to provide work for unemployed actors, giving them a chance to ply their trade and gain experience at broadening the range of their craft while helping out others in times of need. Such is the case for Phill…

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ movieswetextedabout.com/the-voice-of-hind-rajab-movie-review-an-essential-uncomfortable-document-of-our-era/
"The Voice of Hind Rajab transcends the barrier of cinema to establish itself as an essential, uncomfortable document of our era.
By merging the undeniable authenticity of a child's voice with the raw dramatization of the rescuers' bureaucratic impotence, Kaouther Ben Hania offers not a movie for entertainment, but a painful mirror reflecting our own apathy toward tragedies that are far too common.
It's an urgent reminder that the cost of silence isn'…

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/springsteen-deliver-me-from-nowhere-review/
"Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is an overly safe picture, which fulfills the role of educating a lay viewer on the origin of Nebraska and provides musically interesting moments.
However, by trading psychological complexity for the predictability of a fictional romance and shallowly treating its heavier themes, it ultimately reveals itself to be a lost opportunity to transcend the limitations of the biopic genre and its own premise.
Its true power lies in reminding us that the deepest a…

**_When reality imitates cinema_**
This comes in the tradition of prior films like “Psycho,” “Willard” and “Don’t Go in the House,” all of which involve a troubled loner who lashes out at society. The twist here is that the misfit (Dennis Christopher) is a fanatical film buff who ends up impersonating classic film characters to enact revenge.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the writer was inspired by the Marvel Comics villain The Hangman, who debuted 6.5 years earlier in Werewolf By Night 11-12. I’m sure both of these influenced Tarantino and his script “True Romance” a dozen years la…

Divorce can have a very strange effect on a family, both for the separating partners and for anyone in their household, especially children. The rules of engagement are in flux, with some events feeling uncannily familiar and others being radically different. There may also be instances of unintended but undeniable backsliding, making circumstances messy, uncomfortable and confusing. Navigating the shifting sands of these conditions can thus be challenging, baffling and upsetting for everyone and in myriad ways. So, given these fluctuating parameters, how is everyone supposed to cope with thes…

This show started in 2016 and has six seasons, ending(?) 2021. It turned to trash around the end of the 2nd or 3rd seasons.
The storytelling for the show or premise was a mortal female cop having to work with the Devil to solve crimes. The Devil is on earth because he became fed up with his role as Hell's Ruler. And the writers did very well with the Lucifer character. Many aspects to the Devil being supernatural came through wonderfully for the audience, one profound trait being _Lucifer_ (**Tom Ellis**) refusing, or being under an angel geas, to be unable to speak a lie; so he goes …

First and foremost, those looking for a review before watching this **Redo of Healer** (_Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi_) series: It is **NOT** for the Soy-boys, children, or Soccer-moms. The only reason this anime is not listed under the Hentai labelling is because there are no direct action shots of intercourse. There **_IS_** a lot of extremely implied sexual acts; meaning there is **NO mistaking** what is taking place. The abuse in this series is graphic, and _does not spare either gender_!!
There, now that you have been warned.....
This anime is not isekai, but the story of…

For what it’s worth, first-time filmmakers are sometimes the target of exaggerated criticism that may or may not be warranted. And, even though constructive suggestions may indeed be helpful for improving the quality of future projects, it’s important to remember that their initial efforts might not be a fair reflection of their innate talents, so tact would be recommended when rendering advice. However, it should also be noted that there are exceptions to this rule, when frank, plainspoken observations – a form of cinematic tough love, as it were – would truly be called for. That’s very much …

**_Major_** spoiler ahead **_!!!_**
The action is good, as well as the abilities specialized by each team member. Not a big fan of the hero dying, but it is what it is. Doom & gloom hardly ever plays well in the States. I guess life is tough enough without entertainment leaving you feeling like "there's just not enough coffee." lol
You be the judge. Luck in your viewing, - Bob -…
