Perhaps the title refers to the fact that the film is divided into two slightly overlapping but otherwise standalone parts, each one dominated by a different witch. The first, weaker, story revolves around Sarah (Belle Adams), who’s expecting a baby with her partner Simon (Ian Michaels). A middle-aged woman in a restaurant (Marina Parodi) unaccountably decides to bewitch poor Sarah, giving her all kinds of nightmares that mostly consist...

Title: Here’s the Kicker Director: Chris Harris Starring: Ian Michaels, Sarah Smick, Luce Rains, Matthew Linhardt, Daniella Monet, Andrea Helene, Dan Lauria Given the expansive size of the United States, road movies are of course a staple of American independent cinema. One supposes that at a certain time (in the days of Easy Rider, maybe, and certainly before) they were a great way to showcase the sprawling natural beauty of this country, and the wonderful, weird diversity of its citizenry. Now it seems they’re mainly a substitute for the comparative heavy lift of actual dramatic or comedic writing, or an excuse for shoddy, catch-as-catch-can production values. Both of the latter are...
