I was intrigued when I saw Vietnam: Fast Forward while skimming through new titles on Amazon. I visited the country a few years ago and I'm missing the days when traveling was so much simpler, so I decided to give the film a shot. I love the discussion of Vietnam as a changing and ascending country. I think, at least those in the states, need to be reminded that Vietnam is not a war, it is a country. Vietnam also has some of the nicest people I've ever met in my travels too. This documentary shows how rapidly the economy is growing there and does so with personal stories that are easy to connect with. It's obvious to see this ecumenic boom both within this documentary and outside it, and it will be interesting to see further real life growth in the years to come. As a bonus, the documentary also might satisfy your urge to travel like it did mine, as you can see some notable locations and landmarks in the film as well. Enjoy!
Myth is an interesting indie film. Nicholas Tucci does a great job at giving off an unsettling vibe as the filmmaker who wants to make a film that follows real-life, but starts to make you question his intentions and what is real and what is for the movie. I really like these movies where there's a film within a film, and I appreciate the throwback feeling as well. While all independent films have their imperfections, I found that Myth was definitely worth a watch for me.
I saw the trailer for Paranormal Attraction on JoBlo Horror Trailers and was intrigued, so I decided to check it out. I'm already gearing up for Halloween horror movie watching season! I'm a fan of indie horror films and this movie is a new take on the classic creepy abandoned house subgenre. A young woman named Sara moves into the house and learns of its tragic past while a rookie cop helps her investigate. I definitely enjoyed the movie and I think if you're a fan of indie horror then you will too.
