INDIE MOVIE REVIEW: AS THE EARTH TURNS (2019)

  


A 1938 silent sci-fi film never released by a 20-year-old filmmaker in Seattle (Richard Lyford) who went on to work for Disney and direct an Award-winning Academy film (The Titan). Well-known composer/producer Ed Hartman (The Blind Side, The Cold Light of Day) restored, composed, and produced the film bringing it back to life to be seen. Owner of the film estate and stock Hartman has taken the film on the road having it go on to win 134 awards. This Halloween, it was even currently featured on TMC (Turner Classic Movies)! (2021)



Available on AMAZON PRIME   GOOGLE PLAY   YOUTUBE   TUBI TV

Also Available on DVD/Blu-Ray with extras* **Includes "It Gets in Your Blood" award-winning documentary about Richard Lyford at TCM SHOP  AMAZON and WALMART.





REVIEW

Debuting with the catchphrase "80 years in the making, "As The Earth Turns" has been beautifully restored, turning it into a film masterpiece! I often got lost forgetting this film was originally from 1938. It looks so crisp and clean. All behind the restoring this old film deserves accolades and accolades they have earned. The film has been entered into 122 festivals to date and won over 134 awards and nominations combined.  

Being bombarded with modern movies today and with CGI and special effects, As the Earth Turns is a step back in time. An oldie but goodie As The Earth Turns still rocks it out of the park with excellent entertainment value. I loved this film! It shows that special effects don't make a film; it's the storytelling. Lyford (who wrote the piece as well.) was inspired by "The Man Who Rocked the Earth" by Arthur Train and Robert Williams Wood (1915) to tell his apocalyptic war tale.

 A true indie filmmaker, pioneer Richard Lyford, and his camera work were visionary! All future film schools should include Richard Lyford as a filmmaker to study. You could learn a lot from his innovative filmmaking prowess. Making movies was in Lyford's DNA. It was no wonder when this project came across composer and producer Ed Hartman's desk; he hopped on board. 

Not only did Hartman help resurrect this lost film, but he also produced and composed a whole new score for the film, which fits seamlessly in with the era. As a bonus, you can also find a follow-up piece titled "It's Gets in Your Blood," a short documentary on Lyford himself.

 It is a fascinating piece as Lyford basically built a filmmaking empire in his own backyard with just family and friends, having had written 58 stage and screenplays by the time he was 20. In fact, Hartman and 8 Sense production are currently in the works on a biopic piece on the life of Richard Lyford. I can't wait for it! Follow for updates at https://www.astheearthturns.com/.

BOOK REVIEW: Revenge is Reason Enough by Isabella Steel

 

Washington, D. C. has always been a stagnate cesspool of corruption, partisanship, and apathy. It is a world in which politicians callously line their pockets without the slightest regard for the consequences of their actions. They care not for the innocent victims left in the wake of their political games. Alex Conway is one of those victims.

Alex Conway desperately rushes his sick daughter, Amelia, to the Emergency Room only to be turned away as a result of the government shutdown. Alex ultimately loses his daughter in the same nightmare scenario in which he lost his wife, Carly. Fueled by grief, rage, and vengeance, Alex Conway sets out to expose and destroy the forces of corruption that destroyed his life.

Thanks to a cruel twist in fate, Alex Conway finds himself with both unlimited resources and a fatal cancer diagnosis. With nothing left to lose, he and his partner, Tara Snow, enact a plot of murderous revenge on both the House and Senate. Both a determined Investigative journalist and an elite FBI unit relentlessly pursue them; will they be able to execute all of their plans?

This political thriller is a roller coaster ride. From beginning to end, the reader will be left wondering, who is the true villain in this novel? Is it the grief-stricken and vengeance-seeking protagonist? Or is the true source of evil the crushing and corrupt government machine that drove him over the edge?

AMAZON/ BookBub


REVIEW

 In Revenge is Reason Enough, we meet Alex Conway, a husband, and father. His wife has passed not so long ago he now rushes his daughter to the ER with a high fever amidst a government shutdown. What happens later? Well, revenge is reason enough.

After the first heart-wrenching first chapter that sets this book up, I shut the book near tears, not sure I wanted to read the rest. Conway’s pain was my pain. It hurt my heart so much. You know the rest has to be good if an author can do that in just the first chapter. Right? Steel does not disappoint either, especially if you are a fan of political thrillers. Revenge is Reason Enough is an adventurous and action pack read.

I first came across Steel's work in the critically acclaimed Skadegemutc: Ghost Witch, a paranormal horror tale.  Steel does a 180-degree turn with a pollical thriller in Revenge is Reason Enough. While not a particular fan of political thrillers, Steel managed to keep this non-political thriller lover engaged with the plot. It is all thanks to her sensational story weaving prowess (Which she showed in Ghost Witch.), and she is showing it here too, managing to hook a reader no matter what.

I did not quite get that the book is said to be part of the Amy Radigan Mystery. While her character was not the front runner of the novel, it did seem to take part in her world making you wonder how Revenge and Amy Radigan Mystery all fit in.

Either way, Revenge is Reason Enough is an engaging political thriller aimed to entertain and make us think about our own government and its secrets.


My Rating **** (4 out of 5 Stars)

INDIE MOVIE REVIEW: The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater (2021)

 We are all things INDIE here and today we are spotlighting on an awesome new rom-com indie film THE MISADVENTURES OF MISTRESS MANEATER 








 Directed by  C.J. Julianus and Written by Lorrisa Julianus.











REVIEW

Meet Ava Moriarty (Lorrisa Julianus), a former genius art historian and now a Diva Dominatrix who wants out. Partnering with her friend Gabe (Shannon Brown) on a business deal, this investment is Ava’s escape to happiness. Ava comes home from a hard day’s work to find her Russian mobster boyfriend (whom she refuses to admit is) is dumping her and wants the money he loaned her to invest with back. Oh, and that money is now gone along with their investor friend Lloyd who died of an unfortunate circumstance.

 Bonus she’s got 28 days to deliver. What’s a girl to do?

Scene from The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater

When offered to exploit a local priest for precisely the amount she needs, she takes the offer. Ava, though decides to play detective to find out the why. Ava learns though the priest and she are not so unlike each other in this romantic comedy adventure.

 Winner for Best Comedy at the Mile High International Film Festival (2020) and directed by C.J. Julianus, The Adventures of Mistress Maneater is a witty, charming high-end indie film. Polished and smooth, it is easy to watch. Lorrisa Julianus (Ava Moriarty) dominates (pun intended) being cast as the writer of the film as well. While a fun, sweet rom-com adventure on the outside, C.J. Julianus weaves in the message about self-worth and even self-forgiveness. We all see this through the characters of Ava, of course, and Pastor Radovan (Mickey O’ Sullivan). With Radovan, it is seen through his actions. For Ava, it is shown not much through her actions, but more so through her make-up and clothes.  When we first meet Ava, she is black leather red lips and fierce. As the story progresses, her clothing and make-up become lighter and softer, just as Ava is becoming softer and learning her self-worth and finding her happiness.

I am not much of a rom-com fan, but I fell in love with this movie. It was intelligent, quick-witted, and will charm your pants off.  You are grabbed at the first scene and held all the way through. Of course, making a film is a group effect, but having a great cast helps. The cast of Mistress Maneater is phenomenal. It’s the best indie cast I have ever seen so far. Everyone plays off each other, so naturally, helping emersed you in the story to feel and care about everyone.

My rating **** (4 Stars)

The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater is available to watch on Amazon Prime and Tubi

Book Review: Skadegamutc: Ghost Witch by Ian Conner

 


The Ghost-Witch is one of the scariest figures in Passamaquoddy mythology. It is often said to be born from the dead body of a shaman who practiced black magic. The demonic entity then emerges each night with murder on its mind. It can't be killed but destroyed and temporarily only banished.

Sheriff John Alton has a supernatural serial killer in the Village of Nollesemic Maine. The same one who appears every twenty years. The Two Spears and Four Claws Clans have battled the centuries-old evil that has plagued their clans for generations. A source of great shame for the clans. So much so, that it is never spoken about outside of the tribe.  Now the evil has returned, once again threatening the lives of a young mother and her twin babies.

Maggie Four Claws, Grandma Opal, and the rest of the clans move into action to hunt down and banish the Ghost Witch. Will they find the evil in time enough to banish it and save Rebecca and her babies?

 

AVAILABLE NOW AT KOBO/  BOOKBUB/ and  AMAZON







REVIEW

Intertwined with Native American lore Ian Conner weaves a seducing chilling tale that tells the story of the Skadegamutc or Ghost Witch. Conner grabs you at the first page as she sets us up in 16th-century Maine, Onata Village. We are given a tale of a bewitching beautiful Maidan seen by four sisters under the moonlight by the lake. When the Maiden request that they bring newborn twins that are to be born soon into their tribe in exchange for beauty, their tribe becomes alerted, and the Evil is discovered. The Evil is banished but not destroyed; cursing it will return.

Here is our setup for Ghost Witch as Conner takes you from past to present to past to tell this horrifying curse tale of the Ghost Witch. Time jump's confused me, but Conner did it well with some fantastic writing.

Conner's writing is clean, fresh, and straightforward forward, making me gobble up every syllable he writes. Conner ultimately keeps you engaged with every word. 

I love Native American lore, and there have been books and movies based on Native American ghost stories. Conner does not disappoint with his nailing it ABSOLUTELY right!

Oh, and to add to the book's more spookiness, Ghost Witch is actually based on an actual legend associated with the Mikmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and Abénaki tribes. Our tribe in our book is called the L'nu'k tribe, which is what the Mikmaq tribe often calls themselves. It means "The People." I did not find if Nollesemic Village existed, but there is a Nollesemic Lake in Maine and a Pequabuck Lake, which is a location in the book. I loved Skadegamutc: Ghost Witch. You will be lured under this book's spell too. Recommend READ!

My Rating ***** 5 stars and beyond!

Gibson the labradoodle is about to begin her first day of training to become a dog park ambassador, something she has been dreaming about her entire life. Dog park ambassadors hold a very high honour within the dog park community and have many important roles to make sure the dog park is a fun and safe place to be. She has so many great ideas and cannot wait to get started.

While Gibson is training alongside lead ambassador and trainer, Meistro the bulldog, things don’t go as planned. Gibson meets challenge after challenge and isn’t allowed to introduce any of her new ideas. Being a dog park ambassador isn’t what she thought it would be so she starts to question whether the role is really for her.

At the end of her very first training shift, and just as she’s about to give up and tell Meistro she isn’t cut out to be a dog park ambassador, after all, there’s an emergency at the river. One of the dog park’s new puppies, Clover, has swam too far out and cannot get back to shore. Gibson’s best friend and greatest supporter Stretch the dachshund convinces her she has to go help.

Now read a fun excerpt from Dog Park

Tyler didn’t know it, but today was an important day and one that she had been looking forward to for a very long time. Each week, the regular pack at the dog park delegated a dog park ambassador. It was a job that held a very high honour within the dog park community.  Dog park ambassadors were to make sure all the dogs at the park got along, and that all the humans felt welcomed so they would bring their dogs back. As ambassadors, they were to intervene in any disagreements between dogs, explain the rules to the new dogs and puppies, and were to greet the humans to welcome them to the park.

Gibson had been asking to get involved for months now, but the committee always told her they didn’t need any more ambassadors. But finally, her persistence paid off and they agreed to let her start training. Today was her first day.

BOOK REVIEW: Dragon Train (Book1) By R.J. The Story Guy

 


There are three kinds of dragons characterized by their various colors: gold (dog-sized) dragons trained to hunt and serve as guards; silver (about the size of a cow) trained to carry gold dragons on their backs and to serve as soldiers and hunters; and blue dragons (somewhat larger than an elephant) who are trained to tow Dragon Trains (powered by a low-flying dragon rather than a steam engine). The gold and silver dragons aren't very intelligent, but obedient to humans and easily trained. The blues, however, are very intelligent and can communicate with each other telepathically although most humans are not aware of their ability to communicate. For many centuries dragons and humans were enemies, but in the last couple of generations, humans have become clever enough to overwhelm and enslave dragons. But the blues long for freedom and escape from human control. Jaiden and Skye, an escaped blue dragon, encounter each other and a close, friendly relationship develops as the blue dragon with the young man's help escapes servitude towing a Dragon Train. The pair avoid capture while they are pursued through the forests and caves of the Emerald Forest. Eventually, they travel to Portville, a large city where the Dragon Train camps and training grounds are located. But can the pair free her family and escape to a far northern land where dragons may live free?


AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON





REVIEW

A delightful tale Dragon Train is for the young and old, especially if you love a good dragon story. We meet Jaiden, a young Farmboy who lives just outside the town of Hilltop. When the dragon train suddenly stops in Hilltop, this is something he has to see. Little does Jaiden know his dream of more outside his farming life is about to begin. After he drops his chores, gets up close to see the downed dragon train, a soft voice speaks in his head. Stupid Dragons don’t talk especially in their head, right? When Jaiden has to see the dying dragon one more time, for surely the dragon has to be dead by now, right? It is then his adventure begins.

I love dragons and I found this a sweet fun story fitting for school-age children 8 and up. Even though it is marketed for teens I started reading this to my 8-year-old twins and they totally got engrossed in the tale!

RJ The Story Guy writes with simplistic ease, but with a depth to truly capture any young reader’s attention. The story is set in what seems to be a fantasy medieval type land ( i.e., because of the dragons), but the way R.J. has his characters' talk is kept normal making it easy for younger readers to follow and understand. As with all young/teen reader books, Dragon Train also leaves us with a valuable lesson to know too.

AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON & BARNES & NOBLE






REVIEW

First off, I have to say I am intrigued as to the rest of this series. The Rise of the Storm Warrior is actually a book five The Storm Planet series. Still, it holds well all on its own. I had no problem following along and getting absorbed in the story. In it, we meet Trainer, whose cushy life on his homeworld plant of Gigas Vnee gets a jolt of adrenaline. Trainer has a special talent, and the storm is in his blood. When his special talent reveals, they pulled Trainer into torturous military training. Trainer survives and excels in it. When assigned to oversee some shady royal diplomats who state they are going to be posted as representative of the Vance Holt Worlds Trainer gets thrust into protecting the high maintenance Lady Shara Cam whom he can’t seem to know if he likes or wants to cut out her tongue.

Garnet writes with an excellent blend of sci-fi and fantasy, along with a tasty drop of romance. It’s not too over techy, and it’s not too over magical mystical either. Garnet writes with a dash of realism, even though we are in a sci-fi fantasy setting. I found this different, yet refreshing. It’s the draw and enjoyment of the book.

 

Overall, I give it a 4 **** out of 5.

AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON/ BARNES& NOBLE/ BOOKBUB





REVIEW

Fabulously enjoyed! Schlag designs a believable world for her readers that sucks you in a magical love triangle (Or is it quadrangle) and adventure. In Heir to Dragmoore, we are introduced to the kingdom of Dragmoore that seems to be founded on a sinister secret. So sinister that they had the whole village memory wiped. Secrets never stay buried as we know. 

When one of the sacred beasts a dragon is killed King Tully's best friend and Hunter protector Gavin is blamed. Talen Gavin’s daughter then sets out to The Veiled Haven to prove her father’s innocence, and that she is a Master. What unfolds are more secrets revealed, but who is telling the truth? Who possesses Talen’s heart?! The action and drama make me think of an episode of Xena Warrior Princess. Schlag writes strong female characters and a story with a serpent’s temptation that is so sexy good!

I enjoyed how she mixed medieval with hints of Greek mythos too. Schlag also developed one of the most amazing love triangles I have ever read! I don’t know who to root for? Consider me invested in this series now.

BOOK REVIEW: Divorcing Atlanta by Pastor Timmothy B. McCann

 


In this moving family saga—set during the world-shattering impact of a global pandemic—two marriages and four people destined for greatness will falter and no one will be left unscathed in their pursuit to find a love of their own.”

Newlyweds, Lorenzo and Elizabeth Richardson stands at the precipice of seeing their dreams become a reality. The enigmatic orator from Chicago is poised to change lives with his plan to build an inner-city ministry, while his brilliant new bride has her sights set on the hallowed halls of Congress. But behind what looks like a blessed life lurks a life-long secret—one that tests their perfect union, and pushes one of them to do the unthinkable.

Congressman Anderson Banks and his adoring wife Tabitha is an emerging Beltway royalty. The interracial movers and shakers bask in the glow of D.C. politics, but behind the scenes, a truth buried from the world seeks to be revealed and threatens to shatter their perfectly crafted façade and destroy any hope for a presidential run.

Follow these seemingly perfect couples as they play their roles publicly, but privately buckle under the unrelenting pressure, long-held secrets, complicated realities, political influence, societal expectations, and the economic and social fallout from a global pandemic. 

Divorcing Atlanta powerfully exposes the raw emotions brought to life by the excruciating pain of divorce and the strain of trying to lead a real life in—and out of the limelight. This moving and timely accounts will resonate with readers who believe in redemption, choose love and hope over hate and fear, and fight for what truly matters in life.


AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON (Kindle) Paperback April 23rd






REVIEW

Divorcing Atlanta is two tales about two couples that tragically intertwine. Told in a kind of like a therapy session way as each person gets their spotlight and tells his/her engrossing tale all set in our current times.

Pastor Lorenzo Richardson is a young inspiring, charismatic pastor with a growing church along with his wife the “First Lady” Elizabeth Collins Richardson. Who is a prominent lawyer with thoughts of tossing her hat into the political ring.

Lorenzo’s passions and pressures are of helping to counsel others and keeping up his church that is starting to have financial trouble. Add in Lorenzo’s and Elizabeth’s haunted past it all starts to take a toll on this newlywedded couple.

Tabitha and Anderson Banks seem to have it all. Devoted to her husband 110% Anderson, a well-loved congressman with thoughts of running for the presidency looming on the horizon. Tabitha said she knew Anderson was a liar the moment she met him, but he was her lair. Lies destroy, and when it gets discovered Anderson's best-selling book could be a lie all the lies then come creeping out. Anderson said he wouldn’t stray again.

From the title, you know Divorcing Atlanta is about divorce and relationships. Reading it though you get drawn into these couple’s lives. At times you hope they can work it out and other times you are like girl, I’d drop him/her like a dog. Or you may scream with compassion as you see their downward spiral thinking… if they only…

While this story can be taken as an entertaining, juicy tale about infidelity, the true message behind Divorcing Atlanta I think is about learning how to forgive. In the end forgiveness and healing are achieved in each of these couples somehow amongst the ashes of their broken marriages. Along with lessons learned, even second chances. Got to read this to find out how!

 

Rating 4/5 stars ****
