I went into Stand Your Ground expecting a by-the-numbers revenge flick. What I got?? Home Alone meets John Wick, directed by Sergio Leone if he'd swapped cigars for protein powder. The pacing starts slow, dripping with tension and then all hell breaks loose. Traps, gunfights, chaos. But the real MVP? Peter Stormare as the villain. You want menace? You want charisma? You want the guy from Fargo who fed someone into a woodchipper? He's here, and he's loving every second of it. Pure evil, pure class. This is an independent movie that is stylish, and savage fun with a smirk. 8 stars!!! Outstanding Experience.

From Embers is a really captivating movie that pulls you in from the start. It tells the story of two people, played by Matthew Morrison and Kara Wang, whose lives get tangled together in a way that feels both unexpected and emotional. What I liked most was how the film balances drama with moments that feel really real and relatable, without being over the top. The chemistry between the leads felt natural, which made their journey even more engaging. The story moves at a steady pace, keeping you interested but also giving you time to connect with the characters. Overall, it's a thoughtful and heartfelt film that's definitely worth watching if you like movies about relationships and personal growth. Not super flashy, but definitely leaves an impression.
