Penny Palabras

This independent film is not for special effects addicted action-feed addicted horror fans who are accustomed to be entertained by the gore of people being ripped apart by two semi tractor trailers by the spine. It is for lovers of film, literary types, who actually read the book first. Although I was skeptical of the lead actress's talent after seeing the journal entries that led up to production, I thought she pulled it off ok. Furthermore, I was impressed by the other actors -- Mom, the Librarian (still my fave), skinny lovestruck kid, partying teenagers (if this was bad acting, couldn't tell cause that's how drunk people SOUND), and especially the Dad who is a wonderful actor. Black and white works and also mimics the graphic novel. Film angles well done, lot of good hard-edged imagery. Story sped up and sucks you in as it goes along. Psychological elements. Soundtrack well-developed, soft but striking, although thought some of the conversation scenes didn't need background music. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Great indie film about a girl who knows a thing or two about magic and is haunted by the supernatural while trying to navigate drama with friends and family. Strong female characters, an array of villains that keep you guessing who the real antagonist is and shot in an artistic black and white style. Some of the cinematography really blew me away.

Yeah 2 reviews before me, jamesedehartcomposer and anahelt, both rated this movie to a ten, They must have been paid to do so I think. Both have reviewed only ONE movie guess which one! I am wondering how they pay you, is it by the amount of stars (1 star 1 $), please explain how it works. Do you do this for a living? This movie is a 2-3 stars, nothing new, nothing we haven't seen before. The acting is poor, bad casting I think, the movie is boring and dull. It was a struggle to watch this movie from beginning to the finish.

It is always refreshing to see a movie made by people who are passionate about what they do. Whether it be comedy, or graphic novel they hit the mark and it shows.
