Protanopia | Average Guy Movie Review

After Luke (Anthony Carey)'s sister goes missing, he begins having dreams of a strange house. Unbeknownst to him, that house is owned by Alan Roscoe Jr. (Timothy J. Cox), passed down to him after the recent death of his father. But something about this house isn't quite right, and Alan seems to tend to it in strange and disturbing ways. A horror movie named after a form of colour blindness - the most common form, in fact. Protanopia is an insensitivity to red light. Making it a rather ironic title, given the amount of red lighting and red visual effects that appear throughout the film. We're talking almost psychedelic levels of colour - especially red. It is the first of many mind-fucks that the movie throws at you. Either that or it's the beginning of the great mind-fuck that is this movie. Recent events have left the two protagonists caught up in their own respective nightmares. While Luke struggles with the disappearance of his sister and some truly haunting dreams, ...

Hard Truths | Average Guy Movie Review

Peter Gibney is a long time agent who is known in the modelling industry for being kind, generous and supportive of the people he represents. Model Hope Harmon has been with Peter the longest of all his clients, close to 15 years. They have a very close, familial relationship and as a result, have made each other very successful. There is a major clothing client, Braden-Willoughby, that Peter has been trying to book Hope with, but the client has confided to Peter that they are not remotely interested in Hope, unless she is willing to undergo, in their words "dramatic changes". If I had to choose a word to describe Hard Truths  it might be 'reality'. That certainly seems to be what those behind the film were going for.  We're dropped into the lives of the protagonists for a mere moment, and a very important moment at that, for both of them.  There's no real beginning to it, no real end, and in that way it feels more like watching real life.  It is but a snapsho...

VENOM: THE LAST DANCE | Moustache Trailer Reaction

Venom horse!!! In other words; the trailer for Venom: The Last Dance  has landed. What are your thoughts on what is likely to be Tom Hardy's last outing as the symbiotic duo? My first thought, based on this trailer, is The Last Dance  looks fun. But I've been wrong before, because I thought the same after seeing the trailer for Let There Be Carnage . I love the first movie , it has some issues but for the most part it's a lot of fun, especially the odd couple relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom (Hardy & Hardy). Unfortunately the same cannot be said about Let There Be Carnage . Hardy continues to be brilliant in the lead roles, but the movie does not deliver the "carnage" it promises. So as much as this trailer looks good - Venom  horse! - it gives me pause. The Last Dance , which is written by Hardy and first time director Kelly Marcel (writer on the first two Venom movies and Cruella ) looks to pick up where the last movie - as well as a few post credi...
