Among the Willows (2023)
Thrilling and inspiring western!
This is a realistic depiction of some of the things that happened in the old west where lawlessness prevailed. The characters were gritty and believable. They kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. I was happy to see the touching scenes as well and of course the overall happy ending. Truly a moving film with a good message of hope. I would recommend it to all families especially if you like the old west. Be ready to enjoy good original music and action throughout. The writing and acting is top notch and the cinematography is suburb. If you want to be entertained and inspired, don't miss your chance to see it soon.
Lost Outlaw (2021)
Good Story and Acting
This was an interesting plot and easy to follow. Fun characters and a good message for families with some good drama as well. I liked the western locations and clothes. The characters were believable and done well on a low budget. You would never know it was.
Killer Contractor (2019)
Good twists but bad technical issues
I thought it was an interesting plot. A little predictable except for the good guy ending up being the bad guy and the brothers mother being involved. I thought the brother was the nut who was trying to do the family in but he was just strange but harmless and wanted to just be a part of the family. The trouble I had was with the technical issues in the film. The girlfriend who gets hit by the van for instance. She was running out into the street for awhile before being hit. The driver said she jumped out in front of her. If that was the case, she should have been hit right away when she enters the street. The other thing that bugged me was the door locks. Anyone that knows door knobs at all, would see that you cannot have the hand turning lock on the outside of the bedroom door as well as on the inside. We see the villain turn the lock by hand as to trap the mother and daughter in their rooms. The mother takes a golf club, which is conveniently in her room, to bash the door in. Why didn't she open or break the window to get out? Their bedrooms don't have windows? Also, the front door appeared to have dead bolts that could turn from the inside and yet the mother could not open the door and had to use a golf club to bash the door open. This too was not believable. Over all an interesting plot but typical LTM stuff and a little over acting by some of the cast.
Trespass Into Terror (2015)
One of the better low budget action films in awhile.
This film makes a great effort to keep your attention and it does throughout most of the film. Good cast, action, suspense, chases, comedy. Hope to see it out on DVD and VOD soon. Amazing that this could be done so well on such a low budget. Looks like they made good use of the foothills and fields around the Fresno area. It does not look like a family film so much, probably more for adults. I had a chance to see the whole film and everyone that I talked to that saw it, liked it. All of the characters are believable and cast well. It could very well be a slice of the real family feuds that go on in the south over land and land rights.
Night Shadow (1989)
Enjoyed working in this film.
I had the opportunity to work in this film that was originally titled "Lycanthrope" which means werewolf in Greek. I was the Stunt Coordinator, stunt double, stunt driver and played a biker. We had a couple of good fight scenes, chases, high fall, a crash and car explosion. The acting was surprisingly good without any big names or budget. It was fun to work on. Kato Kaelin was natural in his acting and should have been made known from this instead of the OJ trial. Cohlan and Temple also made a film with Bruce Cooke before this in 1987 called "Line Of Fire", which I also worked on. I don't know if the film is available. Thanks guys for a great start in the beginning of my career. Keep it up!
