Indie Showcase: Trouble Is My Business (2018)

Some of the best films ever created over the course of the 20th century were purebred noir thrillers. From The Big Sleep to L.A. Confidential, there is no doubt that a classic noir movie can never get outdated in any shape or form. Trouble Is My Business is a new indie film that works in the cinematographic frame of this incredible genre. Here is why the film has to say about itself.

Detective Roland Drake falls for two beautiful Montemar sisters. One woman is dead and the other wants to kill him. �Trouble� is a new feature film that is a love letter to noir. Trouble Is My Business is a dark, doomed romance filled with mystery, murder and betrayal. Starring Brittney Powell and Vernon Wells. Written by Tom Konkle and Brittney Powell. Directed by Thomas Konkle. 

Clearly, the plot is as noir as it gets, featuring all of the well-known elements made famous by all those fedora-wearing detectives of film history. The story of the film is not just tense, but also action packed to the brim with fistfights, knife fights, and gunfights. All of this is noir to its core. In fact, the very name of the movie feels like a big homage to many noir titles, both from the silver screen and vintage detective novels.

Yet, in spite of it having a very noir approach, the film also comes with an interesting cinematography style. It features radiant colors and a very smart use of CGI, which do wonders for placing the film in an engaging world of its own. Clearly, all this points to the fact that no noir fans, even those who only slightly appreciate the genre, should miss out on watching Trouble Is My Business.

Right now, a special two-disc collector's edition of Trouble Is My Business is available for pre-order on Amazon which contains both color and black-and-white versions of the film. Get it right now or visit the film�s official website for more info.

Indie Showcase: Karma (2018)

Friendship and loyalty are things we respect throughout the world and seemingly ever since we became aware of ourselves as a species. However, can both of these ideas push people into horrible decisions and even worse actions? These are the questions that are raised by Karma, a new indie thriller created by SummerTyme Productions. Here�s the film�s synopsis:

It's Ciana's Birthday and she is lucky enough to have six friends to spend it with. After a celebration the seven of them cozy up on the beach to socialize, reminisce, and tell scary stories. Little do they know they're about to endure a real scary story of their own.
When one friend is attacked, the girls turn around and attack her attackers. Murder, mayhem, resentment, and betrayal consume them. With two overzealous cops on their trail as well as the Karma that the girls are enduring, they are becoming more and more frantic about the outcome of their situation and hope they can stop everything before it's too late.

From a simple setup, Karma builds a complex and tense story of how do we deal with our actions and what are we willing to do to protect our loved ones, even when they are clearly wrong. The trailer of the film shows a raw drama unfolding before the lens of the camera, focused more on the plot and the characters than on the cinematographic value.

In whole, the movie seems like a part-documentary, part live-action, which gives it that eerie feeling of seeming close to the audience. This story is not something out of the ordinary, the film tells its viewers. This is something that can happen to anyone, including - you. The same approach really drives it home, especially for such a small indie film. The plot works mainly because it unfolds outside of its budgetary constrictions to provide something that seems genuinely engaging.

Thanks to all of that, the movie appears more than interesting for an independent thriller. Find out more about Karma on its official website or watch it right now at Amazon Prime Video.

Indie Showcase: Badsville (2017)

The noir movie genre is perfect for any period - it might have been born in the early 20th century, but it is still going strong. A perfect example of this is the fact that it works in so many different settings and time periods. In fact, it even works for those films that are apparently outside of real time and space. Badsville is a new indie release that apparently uses the same principle to great effect.Here�s how the film describes itself:

A violent greaser gang is ripped apart when their leader finds love and is determined to leave Badsville - a town where love doesn't exist.

The trailer, which is super-short, does a great job presenting a violent and desolate place where the main character appears and tries to stay above the water. Badsville is pleasantly �clean� in the terms of cinematography - the shots and photography are defined and steady, focusing on the characters. The moment when violence erupts seems to be a crucial part of the life in the fictional Badsville. However, even if the place is non-existent, the dynamic of the life in a place like this feels more than real.

The film is directed by April Mullen and produced by David J. Phillips and Douglas Spain. At the same time, its cast is comprised out of veterans scattered between many new faces. Among them, the excellent Emilio Rivera stands out as an always-interesting presence on both TV and movie screens. All of the elements of the movie show a gritty noir tale that might be unhinged from any real spot in the world but is steadily anchored in the dark emotions that fuel organized crime and violence that keeps it going. Yet, the film shows us, even in the darkness of Badsville, a light of hope shines bright...

The film is now available on Amazon, iTunes & On Demand platforms across USA & Canada. Find out more about it on its official IMDb page.

Short Film Review: Side Effects (2018)

Zombie movies and the genre of comedy are not exactly strangers to each other. Ever since George Romero provided us with the first true vision of the brain-eating (or general human body-eating) brain-dead ghouls, humanity was hooked on this idea and rightly so. Unlike many other genres of horror, zombie one comes with a subtle disclaimer that this is not the most serious topic in the world.

Sure, they can come with truckloads of drama and The Walking Dead as a TV show epitomizes this premise. But, below the surface, we all kind of gets that walking corpses looking to eat the living aren�t exactly an expression of existential philosophy.

Jonathan Vargas as the writer and director of Side Effects, a short zombie movie, did not have any dilemmas about making his premise both zombified and ridiculous. In the movie, a small hustler and self-proclaimed ladies� man ends up in trouble when he can�t repay the money he owns to the wrong people. 

So he reaches out to even more wrong people who can help him with some home-made drugs. Unknown to him or anyone else, these come with a very troubling side effect.

This short film is more of a comedy than anything else. Its characters are a cartoonish version of regular movie stereotypes covering a loser protagonist and his rational best friend as opposed to sexy dealers and sexy enforcers. However, Vargas does not stop there, so he throws in there crazy scientists who are willing to make things in exchange for sexual favors and a zombie outbreak, just to top the previous one off.

From the first moment, the film is at high speed and it never really whines down until the very final shot of the film. Vargas, who is now an accomplished and experienced filmmaker, takes the best out of his cast � all of them really do create many funny moments that are based on dialogue and actor reactions. There are some weaker points in the writing that occasionally might get slightly repetitive, but this might be the particular brand of comedy Vargas was aiming for.

Things like cartoon sound effect and general over-the-top atmosphere definitely point to a film that is wacky before anything else. Of course, comedy is nothing new to Vargas, even though I personally believe that his strongest work so far, like Loyalty or Betrayal, remains squarely rooted in crime drama (which is the genre where he should, in my view, try to go for something feature-length). Still, there is something both uplifting and strongly positive in Side Effects, especially in the twist ending that is very unexpected and even laced with a hint of social critique.

All of this makes the film fun and also something that feels like a great long-term exercise for Vargas. His ability to continue with using his recognizable style, mainly in his writing and camera work, show a film professional. Yet, the willingness to branch out to a less-known territory of hybrid horror comedy tells of an artistic impulse that makes the entire cinematographic craft he possess a tool that makes actual art, not just polished independent short films. I�m certain that this will allow anyone who sees Side Effect to be, if nothing else, amused and entertained.

Indie Showcase: Pure the Movie Series (2018)

A new movie series is available on Amazon and it provides a gritty story set on the unforgiving streets of Buffalo, New York. Here is the official movie description of Pure the Movie Series:

Pure an action packed movie-series about the streets of Buffalo New York. The first part of this drama identifies with a hustler named Nevada who is wise beyond his years. After robbing one of the city's most respected gangsters, he and his crew had a plan to take over but in order to do so, they must work for the enemy.

As a tale about tough individuals who are fighting for their right to survive and thrive, Pure The Movie Series seems really interesting. For me, it carries a strong resemblance to works like the HBO TV show The Wire and many other great contemporary crime dramas.

Additionally, the creators of this movie clearly have confidence in their work, being that right now, Pure the Movie Series and Pure the Movie Series 2 are both available. While making a movie series is by no mean an easy task, the audience often gets the best work in this format, which provides the directors with ample space for character growth and development.

At the same time, making a film series shows that its story will develop both in depth and scope, along with showcasing Buffalo, a geographical spot that is not often seen in the US movie industry films. Yet, Pure the Movie Series reveals that there is much more to the city and the character who call it their home.

Watch Pure the Move Series and Pure the Movie Series 2 right now on Amazon.
