🎥Wrinkles (2011) another opinion piece in my folders that had goine missing - it was probably on the old one. I loved this film and recommend it. This should make you smile in a gentle manner, but it doesn't sugarcoat old age either 🎥 #FilmSky #movie #film #Wrinkles #FilmOpinion

Wrinkles aren’t so bad, trust me I know…
This is definitely not a film for children and definitely not a film for those of you who are terrified at the prospect of getting old.

🎥Semi Pro (2008) found this opinion in my files, I've never published it, unless it was on my old site that I discontinued, so like a similar one I found I have posted it here with explanations - obviously I'd like everyone to ignore this 🎥#FilmSky #Film #Movie #FilmOpinion #SemiPro

Following on from my portrait of Jeremy Gardner, please find my opinion of that film, posted in December 2018 that would have been a few days after I watched it. I bought the Blu Ray soon after! #TheBattery #filmopinion #fiilm #movies #JeremyGardner

What would you really do in a zombie outbreak, other than die, more than likely this – ladies and gentlemen I present The Battery.
A zombie film that doesn’t follow all of the tropes, made on a small budget the restraints help everyone including the viewer.
