Villainess Review: Kristen Cargill (Dangerous Snow Day)
I was very excited for this Lifetime film, Dangerous Snow Day; the reason is obvious, but I will get to it. This film centered on Maggie Ford, who worked as a nanny for the wealthy Cargill family. We see geniality from couple Kristen and Frederick Cargill, with the latter giving Maggie a necklace as a gift. At that moment, Maggie announced that she would be leaving as their nanny, as she was focusing on her education, drawing what seemed like panic from the Cargills, mainly Frederick. Kristen voiced her own assurance that she could care for the kids, only for Frederick to shoot that down quickly. All right, then.

Wonita Gallagher-KrugerPublished 2 years ago in Geeks V for Vendetta Analysis
This movie is undoubtedly one of those that I can watch several times. Beyond the plot, it has a mix of emotions and feelings of freedom and justice in his purest sense, in addition to the importance brought to the knowledge power to fight against the oppression and tyranny. From the psychological view is quite deep, reflexive and high minded; because it crudely shows different realities that go from the cases of pedophilia, rapes until experimentation using human beings like animals. The main character represents the Guy Fawkes's aims fighting against the England Monarchy at that time when the Gun Powder Plot took place, who becomes source of inspiration of the popular mask used by Anonymous, a group dedicated to spread secret information through the deep web and others. This character takes on a life of its own with his graceful use of the words which shows his erudition and his past as a guinea pig, something that makes him cold and merciless when it comes to doing justice; although in a certain time of the movie he shows his careful side which somehow he must give up to fulfill his mission. It deeply touches those who have been through hard times commited to performing certain tasks in this world and because of this they have lost human contact, so much so that the slightest show of affection gives them an unequaled ecstasy that many times they must leave behind.

Daniel PiercePublished 2 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: 'West Side Story' is Vibrant Popcorn Entertainment
The big question surrounding Steven Speilberg’s big budget adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical, West Side Story was why? Why remake West Side Story? What about this 60’s era paean to 1950s, post World War 2 angst carries any appeal today? What justifies remaking a movie that has a beloved original that is about as good as the material could likely be? Having seen Speilberg’s West Side Story, I still don’t have a good answer for that question. But, I can’t say I wasn’t entertained or moved by the effort on display.
Sean PatrickPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: 'The Lost Daughter' is a Tough Movie
Few movies have triggered my secondhand embarrassment senses like The Lost Daughter. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut stars Oscar winner Olivia Coleman as a college professor on holiday in Rome. Coleman’s Leda is desperately awkward and incapable of relating to other, lesser human beings. We get a sense of Leda in her first interaction with Lyle (Ed Harris), the caretaker of the apartment she has rented for her vacation. Lyle, in his 70s, is struggling while carrying her remarkably heavy bag to her room and yet he still tries to flirt with the near 50 year old Leda, much to her confusion and dismissiveness.

Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksIt’s Gonna be a Dark Christmas
Happy holidays! As the holiday season falls upon us, we are bombarded by songs, treats and more importantly (at least to film lovers) holiday movies. If you know me in real life, you might say that I am not exactly the “sunshine and rainbows” type of person. Those close to me are fully aware of my dark sense of humor and I am fortunate they are accepting of it. That being said, the end of the year can be beyond my level of appreciation. Nonetheless, I do have a small list I personally deem as my “holiday” films and I am sure I am not the only one who would enjoy this list of films to bless them with holiday cheer (even if the films themselves are not very “cheery”).
