Ice Skater (AKA: The Drift): Movie Review

At the edge of the world and believability.

Ice Skater pairs the simplicity of the beauty of the arctic with the harsh realities of surviving in the arctic. There is only one actor on screen, and there is only one plotline: survive. I am slightly over-simplifying it, but to make it clear, the entire movie is one person, Emily (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) vs nature. Emily is stranded alone an ice floe which broke off of a glacier and is now slowly drifting south.		2026 Directed by: Taavi Vartia Screenplay by: Taavi Vartia Starring: Thea Sofie Loch Næss

The Stars Between Us: Movie Review

A terribly written romance missing the romance.

Often when Hallmark goes for a niche hobby, it’s a better than average movie because there’s an authenticity or genuineness, assuming the writers and director share that hobby. The problem is astronomy doesn’t lend itself to this style very well – for instance, most physicists are introverts who don’t attend solar eclipse parties where they mingle and fall in love.		2026 Directed by: Tim Huddleston Screenplay by: Tim Huddleston Starring: Sarah Drew, Matt Long

I Don't Love You Anymore: Movie Review

A creative thriller twisting the three characters’ stories and lives.

A thriller that is a lot more interesting because of how it’s presented. If this was told straight, let’s say chronologically, it would be a boring, forgotten movie not even worth the 75 minutes of your time. But instead, I Don’t Love You Anymore tells this story in pieces, three different points of view that don’t even contradict one another but just adds another angle to consider where sympathies, empathies or guilt lies.		2025 Directed by: Mitch Marcus Screenplay by: Mitch Marcus Starring: Henri Esteve, Hope Lauren, and Marcus Henderson
