Review of JT Seaton's "George's Intervention"
Well, we're slowly progressing with our coverage of the Freak Show Film Festival 2009. I've still got a number of reviews to post, as well as some interview footage Josh shot with the filmmakers, so there's still a lot of work to do, as well as an overhaul as to the appearance and navigation of the site. But for now - a review of one of the best films to play at this year's festival, "George's Intervention".

Josh Darling reviews "Paranormal Activity"
In what seems to been the general consensus, Josh has a positive review for the ultra-low budget supernatural thriller. Read the full review here.

Two new reviews from the Freak Show Film Festival - More to Come!
Our first two reviews from the 2009 Freak Show Film Festival are now up. George Clarke's infectiously fun "The Knackery", and Dana Mennie's "Dark Moon Rising" are available for review, with many more to come. Including JT Seaton's "George's Intervention" as well as Herschell Gordon Lewis' new film "The Uh-Oh Show".
I apologize to any filmmaker's expectin reviews of their films, as I've been quite sick lately, but am working on having everything from the Freakshow Film Festival completed over the next few days.
Also coming in the next few days is the rest of the (currently) abbreviated Ritchie Anasky interview, that began on October 8th, so, as always, stay tuned... There's much more to come.

Josh Darling Interviews the writer/director of "Actress Apocalypse", Ritchie Anasky
Part one of Josh Darling's three part interview with filmmaker Ritchie Anasky is available for your viewing pleasure. There is much more to come, however, due to my prior obligations to the Freakshow Film Festival, the posting of parts two and three will be slightly delayed. The first part deals with the experience of creating your own truly independent piece of cinema, and can be viewed here.

Well, the Freakshow Film Festival is here, which means many fun reviews of independent films you have yet to hear of. Those reviews will be coming in the following weeks, but if it's anything like last year, we'll have a lot of movies for you to watch out for.

Freakshow Film Festival - 2 weeks away
The Freakshow Film Festival is only 2 weeks away, and with a week left in September Screams, my schedule is filling up quite nicely. That being said, I haven't been 100% up-to date on the webiste with September Screams. I am up to date (excluding yesterday's review of "Fright Night" which will be posted shortly, but although the reviews don't necessarily appear on Critical-Film.com on the proper day, they are posted every evening on our MySpace page.

Patrick Swayze - Dies of pancreatic cancer at 57
The man who personified cool throughout the 80s, with films like "Dirty Dancing", "Roadhouse", "Point Break", and "Ghost" among others succumbed to pancreatic cancer yesterday. I'm sad to say it, as I have a lot of respect for Patrick Swayze, and have always enjoyed his films. Yes, I am not ashamed to admit I am a "Dirty Dancing" fan...
Regardless, the man showed a lot of character when he stated publicly that he would fight this cancer as long as he could, refusing to let it take control of his life he began production on a new TV show - "The Beast". That takes a lot of character and I have the utmost respect for the man for refusing to give up.
He fought with cancer for a remarkable 20 months, much longer than doctors expected.
Our hearts go out to his family, friends and fans. "The Swayze", as we've always lovingly referred to him, will be sorely missed. He was certainly one of a kind.

G.I. Joe review
It's a few days late, as this review was posted on our MySpace page a few days ago… but here it is, my glowingly positive review for the most hated movie of the summer, G.I. Joe.
Also, Critical-Film is now on Twitter, so if you'd like to get real time updates as to what going on in the tiny, cramped, smelly, but always fun, offices of Critical-Film.com, click the link to your right, or find us on Twitter, username - critical_film.

We're Back...
First things first - and I do have a lot to say - I've let the site go stangant over the last month or so. I've added no more than three reviews, and haven't bothered to link to them from the main page. This has been a combination of two things. First, I've been busy attempting to piece together the first (of many, hopefully) commercial for Critical-Film.com, which will be seen at this year's Freakshow Film Festival. That, in conjunction with my own increasing laziness, has led to a less than productive month at Critical-Film.com. But, things are about to get better.
We have a number of new features that we will be adding to the site. In particular we will be more focused on articles that have more to do with the film making process. This will include interviews and write-ups from members of Critical-Film.com who do in fact work in the film industry, and will eventually be developed into what we envision as sort of a 'Film Maker's Forum', which will be a division of Critical-Film.com exclusively focused on information for those who aspire to work in the film industry. I'll have more information regarding this feature as it is developed.
First ever Critical-Film.com Commercial:
First and Foremost, however, is our newly created commercial. Nothing really went as I had intended while we were shooting, but I think we managed to make the most of a bad situation, and the commercial turned out allright. It's not going to win any awards or anything, but... it's ok. Let us know what you think. I'm putting together a short blooper reel as well, as there was a fair amount of ridiculousness to be seen... That's coming soon. The commercial can be downloaded below. I'll try and make a streaming video available, but for now it's download only folks.
