In an era where Hollywood dominates the depiction of world wars, these filmmakers undertook the challenge of creating a realistic and believable movie on a budget. Story is told from the perspective of the Canadian armed forces stationed in Holland, facing off against German Nazis. The visuals are impressive... from the period-era costumes and set design, to the authentic WW2-era tanks rolling over the hillside, to the Jeeps and weaponry. I appreciated the inclusion of multiple characters' points of view. WWII film buffs will love this movie, as will anyone who appreciates an indie drama where the good guys win at a cost. Worth watching!

A new bill awaits vote that will affect caregiver resources for citizens with disabilities. Sadie Baxter is a stressed young woman who cares for her ailing sister. Thus begins "The Whip", a smart independent feature that moves briskly and capably. Sadie (played with great empathy by Shian Denovan), enlists the help of three friends to break into Parliament to steal a blackmail book. Gala Wesson, Daniel Davids, and Tom Knight round out this fine cast. Ray Bullock, Jr. Plays a memorable villain. Director Christopher Presswell, along with his co-writer and actors, treats us to a very entertaining and suspenseful tale. Character differences are highlighted via clever pairings and payoffs. Everyone here has something at stake. If you enjoy British capers, you'll love this!

"Feet of Death" is another entry in the cryptid/horror Big Foot franchise that entertains via its characters, suspenseful setting, and effective sound design. Set in the picturesque woods of the Pacific Northwest, the movie takes its time developing. Actor Andrew Brown plays a park ranger who teams up with the local Sheriff (Jack Vanover) to investigate the mysterious death of a Bigfoot YouTuber in the woods. Was it an ex-girlfriend? A rabid bear? Or something more sinister? The unfolding investigation leads to the unsettling conclusion that all is not what it seems out here in the woods. Fans of atmospheric horror and cryptid tales will appreciate this.
