The 2021 Sundance Film Festival has officially come to a close and what a festival it was. Though being virtual and not being able to go to the mountains of Park City this year, I thought that the festival was really good this year. The quality of films was excellent, the software the festival used to stream the films worked seamlessly, and the scheduling allowed you to see a lot of movies. I was able…

Here are my reviews of Prisoners of the Ghostland, First Date, and Land from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND Though he’s an Oscar-winning actor, it feels like Nicolas Cage is more known for the amount of roles he takes and the insanity he brings to his movies.

Throughout this summer, we watch as these free-spirited girls go through the struggles of girlhood while living in…

Here are my reviews for Eight for Silver, R#J, and Jockey from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Eight for Silver Within the first five minutes of Sean Ellis’ Eight for Silver we see body parts being amputated and bullets being graphically removed from a body all to the backdrop of World War I. This immediately sets the tone for what we are about to witness for the next nearly two hours: a film that is brutal, violent,…

Here are my review of Strawberry Mansion, Mass, and A Glitch in the Matrix, which played at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. STRAWBERRY MANSION It seems like there is always somebody saying that films are not original anymore. That movies are only franchises, remakes, or based on previous material. These people would be wrong, and it is a movie like Strawberry Mansion that proves just how original films still are. This is a colorful,…

Here are my reviews for How It Ends and On the Count of Three, which had their premieres at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. HOW IT ENDS How It Ends is one of the more unique end-of-the-world movies I have ever seen. It’s a quirky, weird, often hilarious odyssey through Los Angeles filled with celebrity cameos and a sweet story. On the last day on Earth, Liza (Zoe Lister-Jones) goes on a journey through…
