Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been the nerd who researched the movie before seeing it, read all about it on numerous film blogs, and immediately bought the most expensive DVD just to watch the special features.
Film commentaries, behind the scenes, and the blooper reel have always been prominent in my life.

The Dunes (2021)
Well done
Such a trippy film with lots of plot twists and unexpected turns. The Dunes starts off with getting to know the main character Nicholas Rice, a renowned journalist working in Los Angeles as he then returns back to his hometown in Australia. When he gets home, a mysterious person enters back into his life. Things then take a turn and without giving away too much let's just say if you're into physiological thrillers then you will enjoy this. I can usually guess what happens next but this one kept me on my toes. A good watch.
Drowning in Secrets (2022)
Impressive
Yes it's a lifetime movie, yes it has it's flaws no it isn't bad and yes it's really entertaining. I've heard of real stories (well similar) like this really happened so when it started off I was really glued to the screen. Intense acting by all the actors and good editing as I felt they didn't drag it out like they usually do. The mother was a real stand out, seriously made this movie come alive.
A Day to Die (2022)
Good action
Without giving away too much, it's basically about Connor having to ask his old military crew to come together and get two million dollars for a drug syndicate or else. Not a complex plot but the action and the storyline has lots of good twists as i was on the edge of the seat right to the end. A highly entertaining film, well done.
The Secret of Sinchanee (2021)
Not your typical Hollywood film
Such a complex and original film. I was seriously drawn into this from start to end. You do need to follow and watch this film carefully as it does get into places big Hollywood films might not but that's what I like about it. So yes, i'm rating this 10 just because of the subject matter and how well this storyline was constructed.
Wolf (2021)
mental
Such a unique film. I'm shocked as to how many people didn't like this film. Good acting and a shockingly impressive ending. Watch this with an open mind not the ordinary hollywood movie.
American Night (2021)
Weekend movie
It's not for everyone. This film really makes you think and isn't your usual Hollywood flick with a recycled plot. Where on earth is the Pink Marilyn! I kept asking myself that. A complex but easy to understand plot with talented actors. Super fun as this is a weekend movie for sure.
The Radiant One (2016)
Best indie I've seen in a while
Caught it when it was playing in Vegas with my girlfriend. I think it was even shot in Vegas, but it doesn't feel like Vegas. I want buy a copy of it, but not sure where I can find it. It's starts off about this dude who thinks he's done bad by his wife but can't quite piece it all together. He turns himself into the cops to try and do the right thing. It's a roller-coaster from the start. I didn't see the end coming or the other elements. NO SPOILERS HERE! Hoping it's released on home video soon, so I can buy a copy. It really stood out to me. Strong acting by the main actors, even the little girl was good. Kind of touched my heart, but I'll never tell my girlfriend that ha! I'm going to keep an eye on these filmmakers and cast.
Identicals (2015)
Great film!
I loved this film. Picture the near future where a secret organisation Brand New U finds copies of people (Identicals) and when you are unhappy with your life you get moved to the - hopefully better - life of that copy. That copy is moved on to another life as well or killed. The main character is at the wrong place at the wrong time and witnesses his girlfriend being replaced. He himself them gets caught in a succession of lives, while looking for his girlfriend from his first life.
Although the film has thriller aspects, it is not a real thriller in the way that the main character resolves his problems and punishes the bad guys. It is more about making choices who you are, who you want to be, looking at all the options your Identicals show you.
