SPARE PARTS REVIEW

  While traveling on their first American tour, Ms.  45, an all-girl punk band, is drugged and kidnapped. They awaken to find their limbs removed and replaced with crude weaponry, and are forced to fight as Gladiators for a sadistic town. Starring: Julian Richings, Michelle Argyris, and Emily Alatalo Directed by: Andrew Thomas Hunt Written by: David Murdoch and Svet Rouskov   No “Spare Parts” were used to make this movie…or maybe just a few! An all-girl rock band is putting on a hell of a concert, and the audience is enjoying it a little too much. When a guy tries to interrupt the show and touch one of the girls a bar brawl breaks out.

After the show they meet a few of their fans while selling merchandise, including Sam (Jason Rouse) who might be an instant super fan.   Emma (Emily Alatalo), and her sister Amy (Michelle Argyris) hit the road with girlfriends Cassy (Kiriana Stanton) and Jill (Chelsea Muirh...

He apparently has a short fuse with his wife, and even daughter as times. On the other side, Naomi has also experienced her own abuse from her fu...

FANTASIA 2020 REVIEW: ANYTHING FOR JACKSON

After losing their only grandson in a car accident, grief-stricken Audrey and Henry, a doctor, kidnaps his pregnant patient with the intentions of performing a “reverse Exorcism”, putting Jackson inside her unborn child. It doesn’t take long to figure out Jackson isn’t the only ghost the grandparents invited into their home. Now it’s a race against time for the couple, as well as the pregnant woman to figure a way out of the haunting they’ve set upon themselves. Starring: Sheila McCarthy, Julian Richings, Konstantina Mantelos, and Yannick Bisson Directed by: Justin G. Dyck Written by: Keith Cooper A Fantasia International Film Festival Review   It doesn’t take long to realize that “Anything for Jackson” really means anything for Jackson. The opening scene sets the tone, as it appears to be just another morning for Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry (Julian Richings). Before anyone knows it, the elderly couple is kidnapping a pregnant woman, Becker (Konsta...
