Frag (2008)

Worth Watching

[10/10 · 6 December 2023]

It's a great film and a look into the world of Professional gaming. It shows the human side of E-Sports athletes and the real struggles that they face. It's not just about being an outcast from your family, but fighting with shady sponsors and corrupt practices of the gaming leagues.

Frag does a great job shining a light into the world of E-Sports. The good, the bad and the ugly.

This film also does a fantastic job of explaining how professional gaming works and explaining it's origins.

You will learn from several legends from the video game creators to the legends of E-Sports. They helped pioneer what we all appreciate today.

Nefarious (2023)

Great film! I highly recommend.

[10/10 · 8 July 2023]

If you are looking for a film that actually makes you reflect and think about your personal beliefs... This is the one to watch.

Sean Patrick Flanary deserves an Oscar for this performance.

This film is very heavy on dialogue and not much for gratuitous special effects. The genius of this film is in the writing and the clever dialogue between the two main characters.

I have a great respect for films that manage pull it off on such a low production budget. Yet this film can easily stand toe to toe with larger budget films in this genre. Don't take my word for it, take the time to watch this film for yourself.

The Enemies Within (2016)

Well Done and Informative Documentary

[10/10 · 30 January 2017]

I would recommend that every American see this film. If you want to know why it seems our country has seemed to take the wrong positions on the issues for the past 8 years, this will explain how and why.

I never realized the our congressmen and woman do not need to go through any type of security clearance to be on the committees they serve. Which also explains why certain elected officials use their positions to undermine our national security.

I found this to be well documented and researched. I think that most of the negative reviews about this film are done by trolls who refuse to acknowledge what the elected officials say in this film with their own mouths.

I hope to see more from Trevor Loudon and Judd Saul. This is very entertaining and informative work.

The Christmas Candle (2013)

Another Horrible Example of a Christian "Faith Based" Movie

[1/10 · 20 November 2013]

Do not waste your money or your time watching this film. This is a cliché laden film which insults the intelligence of Christians and non-Christians alike.

From the very beginning of the film, you already know what's going to happen at the end. The characters are horribly introduced, and the plot set up is terrible.

If you like cheesy hallmark movies with bad acting, this is your film. Aftter the buzz is over, and the people realize they have been duped by a once upon a time politician, there will be skepticism and backlash on the Faith Based film industry.

As far as faith based films go, I will stick to watching Veggie Tales.

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for your grandma, she might enjoy this film.
