Short Film Reviews: "Wonder Ship"
Winslow Takes the Cake: I certainly picked a bizarre flick to open up this list. It starts innocently enough, with a young girl named Winslow (Taylor Blackwell) visiting her neighbor Abby (Marjorie O'Neill-Butler) to tell her the box she gave her to play with doesn't work. It's during their conversation that things take a weird turn. While identified as a dramedy on IMDb, Winslow Takes the Cake leans a lot more into the drama half of its genre as the encounter between Winslow and Abby gets surprisingly intense. Topics like divorce, religion, and using imagination to get through hard times are mentioned. So don't be fooled by the title and synopsis into thinking you're about to watch a lighthearted kidcom with a fluid narrative.
Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksA Business Proposal review, served hot
Close your eyes, breathe, and picture this: you’re dressed up in a scandalous outfit that is so not you, sitting in a cold fancy restaurant, ready for a blind date. Not just any blind date, though. You’re there to absolutely make a mess out of said date while pretending to be someone else (no, you’re not crazy, you’re just helping a friend out).

After season one of Noughts and Crosses concluded on a cliffhanger that felt more like a definitive ending, I was surprised that the BBC had renewed the show for a second season - especially when they had wrapped up so many storylines previously.

B.R. ShenoyPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Greater"
Greater is a sports movie that came out in 2016. I would have thought I'd heard of this one since I love sports movies but it somehow slipped my radar. It's got an interesting method in story telling and ultimately has a lot of great messages. I've never heard of Brandon Burlsworth but I was about to get a crash course about his life.

I'm going to keep this as Spoiler-free as possible, for those who are still on the fence about seeing it, but some may sneak through. You have been warned.
Natasja RosePublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent"
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was one of my must sees for 2022. When I saw the trailer for the movie I was instantly enamored by the insanity this movie might become. That's why it was to my surprise when I got to the theatre it was pretty much empty. Why is no one talking about this movie?

Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 2 years ago in Geeks4 reasons why "Me, Earl, and the dying girl" sucks big hairy ass
REVIEW ON THIS MOLDY RUBBISH: The book "Me, Earl, and the dying girl" is, supposedly, about a "dying girl" named Rachel. Written from the point of view(POV) of one of the main characters named Greg. Who is trying to get through senior year of highschool as invisible as humanly possible. If you’ve ever read the book, and you liked it, or at least saw the point of it all. I envy you. After reading at least half of it I completely tuned out, as my brain felt like it was beginning to rot. I skipped some pages ahead, in needless search of profound( or at least simiprofound) depth inside it. And of course found nothing of the sort. The worst part is I couldn't really even understand why it was I didn't like it so much. Then I skipped to the ending and read the whole page. The last four sentences being;"Maybe I should try to put her in my next film. I don't know. Honestly? I don't know what the hell I'm talking about."
