[MOVIE REVIEW] FRACTURED breaks through with a searing message of picking up the pieces after trauma

 by Cyrus Webb

For those looking for a film that will take you up and out of yourself, giving you important messages while also entertaining you, then FRACTURED is a must-watch.

We're introduced to Ava, a woman who is subjected to some traumatic events in her life that could have destroyed her. When we fast-forward in the film we see her seemingly whole, navigating a marriage, family and a successful profession. But nothing is ever as it seems, right? As the story unfolds we get revealing flashbacks to the trauma Ava has been impacted by and when her sister appears and starts causing chaos, every Ava has worked so hard to build seems to start crashing down.

FRACTURED has so many interesting points that will have you talking: 1) How the events of our lives can impact the person we become and our dealings with others, 2) The role that secrets can play in destroying a family and 3) The danger of perfectionism and how it can destroy you from the inside out to name just a few. 

If you're like me you'll have to watch it more than once to catch some of the things that slipped by you the first time. It's that kind of film that draws you in with the story and leaves you with a lot to talk about. 

Ready for a rollercoaster of a ride? FRACTURED breaks through with a searing message of picking up the pieces after trauma.

FRACTURED is available to rent and buy on Amazon

[MOVIE REVIEW] The Conversation

When I was introduced to THE CONVERSATION it had my attention from the very beginning. It's a simple yet powerful message about how two people (played by Ashley A.Williams and Michael Cory Davis) can have two different perspectives of one event---and the importance of understanding the other person's perspective.

To be honest when I watched it the first time I could see parts of both sides, how one might get the wrong impression. But the overall message is clear: listen to what others are saying. Don't go by what you think. Go by what is being said and expressed.

The film itself is less than 20 minutes long, but it is packed with so much to digest that it will have you talking about it long after the credits roll. The overall message is clear: If we are open to understanding the perspective of others and not making everything about ourselves then we will definitely avoid problems and misunderstandings that can lead to disaster.

[MOVIE REVIEW] Street Survivors: The True Story Of The Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash

by Cyrus Webb

Raised in the South I have known of the group Lynyrd Skynyrd for some time, as well as the tragedy that befell the group in 1977. What I didn't know is what life was like for the group, their music and what happened after the crash to the members left behind. THAT is the story that STREET SURVIVORS tells.

Through the voice of band member Artimus Pyle we see his passion for music, what it was like for him to join the talented group and the antics that were a part of life on the road. We also see the passion for the fans and performing, and the connection the group shared through music.

The film gives us a look at the tragic crash and life afterwards for Pyle, but it really shows the heart of someone who was part of something that seems almost bigger than life.

STREET SURVIVORS is the Lynyrd Skynyrd story that we have been wanting, and is sure to give us a new layer of understanding why the group's music continues to live on.

Rent or buy STREET SURVIVORS on Amazon.
