Alien Intervention (2023)
Why can't more movies have this much heart?
Unless it's a big studio picture, go into watching a film with very little expectation or understanding of what it's going to be. Even seeing the trailer for this I wasn't quite sure what the story was other than a little girl buried an alien's stone in the desert and years later he returns to get it. Okay, cute. But then we started watching, and in actuality that's not even what this film is about. It's really about a person who over time has completely lost herself and she embarks upon a journey to discover her purpose and internal harmony. Thing is, she doesn't even realize she's on the journey because she's too scared to admit to herself that everything isn't fine. But to everyone around her, it's glaringly obvious that things are miles from fine. So that's the really interesting thing- the journey that she takes that gets her to the place where she has to admit everything is a train wreck. And low in behold, that's where the healing begins.....
Fantastic film. Entertaining, humorous, and heartfelt.
Out of Exile (2022)
little bit of the OK razzle dazzle
I'll tell ya what peeps, don't listen to the haters. This film reminds me of Beverly Hills chihuahua 3. People said "no! We've seen two movies with these chihuahuas! Not a third! We don't need a third!" but they got a third. And they ate it up like taters on thanksgiving. Now sure, we've had LOTS of one last job films. If I ate a cupcake every time I saw a one last job film, I'd be like the dead fat guy in Seven (maybe with more hair and a nicer smile), which is to say I've seen A LOT of one last job films. But this film definitely adds something to the genre with sensitive vulnerable portrayals of hardened criminals "just tryin' to dun do better" in their own low brow simple ways. And I say bravo. Bravo to the looks of consternation. Bravo to the emotional moments of silent consideration. Bravo to the greasy hair and crazy beards. Bravo.
