Charlie Countryman (2013)

Dark Mysterious

[9/10 · 16 November 2013]

Dark Mysterious tale well cast well acted just odd enough to be diffident from the mainstream. Perfect locations were sort and used to full effect giving a realist feel to this movie. Breathing life into a film that stands head and shoulders above many a middle of the road attempt of this sort of strange super natural oddball movie. Elements of genesis are running through it with clever one liners from a unhinged gangster played to great effect.To sum up this film reminded me why i watch so many movies in a hope to fine one like this as good as this nowadays seems about one great movie in 25 or so movies watched.

Assignment (2013)

Deliberately Confusing Madness time slip movie

[9/10 · 13 November 2013]

Deliberately Confusing Madness shot as a time slip SCI-FI movie proper Head F-ck. Memories of the awesome early Tarantino movies come to mind where Tarantino was able to show his true flair for movie making on small budgets having had a free hand. Here this film maker clearly has his own style and throws all caution to the wind shooting stylist movies on next to no budget. Film Making is about shooting movies let nothing stop you make no excuses make movies kind of attitude. Great to see such honest low budget film making I'm sure one day this film maker will also make something very special indeed as did Tarantino. Here with Assignment he is clearly just having some fun saying hey what the f-ck.

Collateral Consequences (2012 Video)

Low budget fun

[9/10 · 30 January 2013]

Low budget fun inspiring to watch cars girls stunts mud crashes much fun is had here in this indie film shot on a shoestring. The film shows the exploits of two low budget stunt men who try to put together a low budget movie using car stunts the formula is all here jackass style car stunts pretty girls colourful language all in all the film achieved it's goals the ending was a little disappointing as the film had built up a nice pace to it only to be let down by a very sharp ending. This is a very exciting time for indie film makers out there now and it's now more than possible to shoot and release cracking little films such as this one with small HD cameras and even smaller budgets.

Stagger (2009)

Dark Gritty Brit Gangster Stagger

[10/10 · 18 July 2009]

STAGGER Dark Gritty Double Crossing Brit Gangster flick at it's low budget best seen many a film with 100 times this films budget that cant touch this classy flick not since Lock Stock have we seen this in a British Gangster flick with a odd twist thrown in the mix just for good measure!.There is a follow up movie planned hope the next film has this live feel to it very odd seeing a movie shot as if we are in a live war zone putting the viewer in the middle of the action.Very good first film from this Director.It is rumoured to have had no cast meetings or rehearses and the cast met each other on the first day of filming.There's an interview with Director Paul.T.T.Easter saying the budget would have got you a good used ford or put as he said a old banger run about.
