His dispatcher contacts him about a fare and he simply thinks it’s just going to be another ordinary customer. Into his cab steps in Penny (Brinna Kelly). Now one look at Penny and Harris is awestruck at her beauty. The conversation between the two is very open and easy. In other words they are getting along rather well. Harris is talking when he realizes Penny is gone. She has completely vanished. Harris realizes that every fate begins and ends with Penny. They are stuck in a time loop. Each time loop they learn a little more about each other and they become closer and closer.

Pesi and Kelly have a great on screen presence and each time they meet they do become more and more in love. It’s as if they are initially meeting on a first date and by the end they are hopelessly in love. When the both of them realize what is happening with them the conversation is very open and touching. The Fare may seem as if it is another Sci-fi time travel movie but there is more much more to this film. As each episode takes place the audience sees that they are getting much more for their money. This romantic drama has more to it than meets the eye.

'47 Meters Down Uncaged' Blu-Ray Review

Our story has stepsisters Mia (Sophie Nelisse) and Sasha (Corinne Foxx) decide not to follow through on the shark trip that their father Grant (John Corbett) has booked for them. They wanted to be more hands on rather than just touristy as the shark trip would have been. So the two sisters decided to spend the day with two fellow teenage girls Nicole (Sistine Rose Stallone) and Alexa (Brianne Tju). The four girls decided to go diving through the remains of an old civilization that was under water.  Problems arise very quickly when girls see they are swimming with a great white shark. The girls are in some tight places and one could easily feel claustrophobic while trying to get away from the shark and head to the surface.

The story briefly in the beginning showed a little bit conflict between the sisters Mia and Sasha but doesn’t go much farther after that. The four main characters aren’t allowed to show who or what they are but we the audience are rather quickly brought into the life and death conflict taking place under water. The main character of our story has to be the shark. No this is not a jaws remake. The father does come off as wanting to have a real relationship with the girls but there isn’t enough time  given to that part of the story.

Lionsgate is bringing our story to Blu-Ray and the quality is excellent. The sights and sounds of the film are superb. Don’t get me wrong this is a good film to watch. There could have been more to our main characters but it is enjoyable to watch. It will make a wonderful addition to your personal library. With the holidays coming up this would make a wonderful gift for that special person in your life. So yes get out there and pick this one up and enjoy this film.

'3 From Hell' DVD Review

Director Rob Zombie takes us down the road with another horror story and this one is a doozy. Our heroes as they are called are three serial killers. Otis Driftwood (Bill Moseley), Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) are being taken into the hospital. They will later be taken to incarceration for their crimes. Prison is there justice but prison is not where they will stay. Breakout comes, and now Foxy (Richard Brake) is with them. Vengeance is taken against the prison warden and our heroes are on the move.

There is no sheriff after them as they flee across the border into Mexico. As a matter of fact a group of Mexican  gangsters known by the name of The Black Satan's are now after our heroes. Don’t get me wrong, these four main characters are not true heroes, but in Rob Zombie’s mind they are. In reality they are simply depraved sadistic killers and prove this time again in our movie. The death and destruction that our heroes are involved in during the beginning of the movie is very depraved. Once they are in prison they seem to take on a tone of being likeable. It’s when they escape and are on the lam that they once again become the despicable beings they actually are.

Rob Zombie has been able to turn out some very interesting movies and '3 From Hell' happens to be one of them. Lionsgate has brought us this taste of horror to DVD and it’s worth picking up. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are superb. This will make a wonderful addition to your personal library. This will also be a great gift for that special someone in your life for the holidays.

'The Demons' DVD Review

There is trouble in Montreal. A string of kidnappings have occurred and it is the talk of the town. A young ten year old boy by the name of Félix (Edouard Tremblay-Grenier) is scared about it all. The school year is about to end and Félix has a very vivid imagination. He also is very sensitive and impressionable. He lives in one of the suburbs of Montreal so he’s not exactly right in the middle of everything.

Félix is also scared that his mother Claire (Pascale Bussieres) and father Marc (Laurent Lucas) are going to break up. His mother and father can have some serious arguments and this bothers him when he witnesses them fighting. Félix also gets scared when his brother Francois (Vassili Schneider) talks with his friends about all the bad things that are happening to all the neighborhood children.

Félix is loved by both his brother Francois and sister Emmanuelle (Sarah Mottet). Félix confided to his sister that he thought he might have AIDS. You see this is the period where AIDS first appears and everybody gets freaked out. Emmanuelle ask Félix some questions and then tells him he is fine and not to worry. Félix is simply growing up and is becoming of age to be a teenager.

Director Philippe Lesage is responsible for 'The Demons' and the later film 'Genese' which has Félix once again as an older teenager. Growing up is not so simple as it use to be. Thus films like these are
beneficial in ways that sometime people miss the signs of the young as they grow up.

Film Movement brings this wonderful film to DVD on November 19th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is fantastic and the sights and sounds are excellent. This will make a wonderful addition to your personal library and it will also make an excellent gift to that someone special this holiday season.

'Scared Of Revolution' DVD Review

Umar Bin Hassan has been called the “The Godfather of Rap”. He was born Jerome Huling and in the late 1960’s  became a member of The Last Poets. They were a group of performance poets who pushed the spirit of the times and became a big influence on hip-hop artists. One of his better known pieces is 'Niggers Are Scared of Revolution' where he criticized his fellow blacks destructive nature of the times.

Director Daniel Krikke takes a look at the life of Umar Bin Hassan from childhood to now. For instance, his own father would steal the money that a young Hassan would make shining shoes. His father would later abandon the family and Hassan was basically on his own. His mother would give him money and he would go and buy drugs. He goes on to say that drugs were a big part of his life. Hassan would go through woman like a turn style and would leave his children without any father figure. He would eventually make some money but would buy crack cocaine and wander around aimlessly.

As the documentary goes on to show it was Hassan who was afraid of Revolution. He would finally take control of his life. We see a very distraught Hassan talking about his father who he would later reconcile with and would eventually had to make the decision to turn off his fathers life support. We see a man who hadn’t reached 70 but looked like a very beat up old man. We see a man who would eventually reconcile with his children and would be a grandfather to their children which is something he never experienced as a child.

Film Movement brings this story to DVD on November 12th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is fantastic and the sights and sounds are superb. You see a life full of heartbreak but you also see the transformation of a man. This is a good addition to that personal library you may have in your home. It would also be a great gift for the holidays to that special someone.
