★★★½ “Meals on wheels.” The title here is used ironically, because “run” is the last thing the heroine can do. She is Chloe Sherman (Allen), a teenage girl who has been plagued by medical issues since birth, requiring full-time care from her mother, Diane (Paulson). She’s partially paralyzed, unable to… Continue reading| Girls With Guns
★★★ “And Then There Were None – with vampires” SPOILER WARNING FOR THIS REVIEW: ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE TRAILER! Trailers can do a lot of damage to a movie’s impact, and is definitely the case here. If the trailer hasn’t outright told us the idiot gangsters had kidnapped… Continue reading| Girls With Guns

The truth about who she was is hard to determine, with verifiable facts hard to come by. But like Robin Hood, this just… Continue reading| Girls With Guns
★★ “Welcome to the dope show.” This shouldn’t be confused with the BBC series of the same name announced last year. This is very definitely American, another in the ongoing series of urban crime movies which seem to pop up, with some regularity on the likes of Tubi. I keep… Continue reading| Girls With Guns
