Halloween Obsessed: The Misconception of Witches (2022)
Witches are Charmers, Conjuresr, Enchanters
These three words that may describe a witch. This documentary well described different kinds of witches; Wiccan, Eclectic, Kitchen, Ceremonial, Hereditary, et al. Fascinating history of witches from yesteryear and today, each one uniquely different. Interviews with prcaticing Wiccans, traditions, practices and beliefs discussed.
Very informative and interesting.
Our Father (2014)
An Emotional Journey
"Our Father" is a beautifully drawn short film by director, Linda Palmer-Cardone, depicting a story of abuse, conflict and the progressive disease, Alzheimers. The characters of John and Jared, father and son, are strongly played by Michael Gross and Michael Worth. Their encounters together are tense, emotional and traumatic. You feel Jared's anguish and frustration in trying to understand his father and why he verbally and physically abused the family, especially him. The supportive acting of Eileen Grubba(Kate) and David Topp(Danny), was superb, depicting the wife and son who are trying to keep the family together under such circumstances. A cameo by Julia Silverman as John's ex-wife, cannot be ignored. She has lived many years with the abuse and hate and reminds her son that caring for John will be difficult; the answers you seek are not easily found. Ms. Palmer-Cardone directed with clever insight, giving us spurts into John's past that may help to explain his abusive treatment of the family. She has caught the face of Alzheimers and of those that are locked in its world.

Halloween Party (2012)
Halloween Party (2011)
Recently enjoyed viewing this movie at the !st Annual Laughlin Film Festival. Of course, it's a Halloween Party at someone's home attended by friends, but it is the stories of some of the guests that bring special messages. This is what I loved most about the storyline. There are situations of adult confrontations, arrogant people, centered people, funny and gorgeous people, and very sensitive people. This movie contains young children in costume in adult situations and there are adults situations in the movie, so I personally do not recommended it for children under 14 unless the parent allows this. Most of the costumes are very in-typical for Halloween. That's refreshing. It gives me and my friends many different ideas for our Halloween party. The soundtrack is outrageous! I love blues and this soundtrack has many original songs by writers/singers from Nashville, Texas and California. I recommend this movie as a different spin of the usual Halloween ventures available out there.
