Wild Rose - 2019 SIFF Capsule Review



The Movie: Wild Rose

The Director: Tom Harper

The Cast: Jessie Buckley, Sophie Okonedo, Julie Walters

The Story: A musician from Glasgow dreams of becoming a Nashville star.

The Review:
A super spunky and energetic performance from Jessie Buckley, an Irish born singer and actress who takes center stage in a fun and whimsical production from director Tom Harper. Buckley manages to hit all the right notes while Harper uses a hit making formula that is guaranteed to play well with audiences even if it is a bit safe.


Wild Rose is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.

Hellboy (2019) - Movie Review


Hellboy is a steaming pile of trash that has earned the honor of being the second movie I have ever walked out of. (The other one is xXx: The Return of Xander Cage) It's like a group of studio executives had a meeting and said "Hey, that Deadpool was sure fun and people liked it. Let's do the same thing with Hellboy!" So yeah, they got the profanity and violence right but the dialog is stupid, the acting is atrocious, the special effects are garbage, and everything else about the movie is so bad I have to believe it was somehow intentional.

If you choose to watch this movie, I take zero responsibility.

Now please excuse me while I wash any memory of this movie from my brain.
