Confusing Trailer 'The Memory Keeper' coming soon.!
Okay guys.... I watched this three times to figure out what is going on. It isn't clear what this is about. I'm confused with the small bottle of liquid. What is in it? Also, A woman has this bottle and she might release that liquid.
There is a computer chip on this guy's right temple. Does it hold his memory? What will it unleash? Is someone going to drink the liquid and expose the truth? About what?
Some of the actors, "dialogue" is flat and unbelievable. Someone explain this to me.

Radio Theater 'Albuquerque Law' written & directed by Roscoe Pond
Hello everyone - As you know I am a movie screenwriter. I also write for Radio Theater. I created a short 5-part series called, "Albuquerque Law - Outside the Court Room." I focus on oral arguments with 5 judges and 2 opposing lawyers. These cases cover Navajo & Pueblo Indian issues in the state of New Mexico.
I enjoy courtroom dramas on TV and in movies. What I like more is what goes on outside those courtrooms. The drama between judges and lawyers.
I am posting "Albuquerque Law" on my Facebook page Wednesday night at 6PM (mountain time) on JUNE 24, 2026.
It will not be "live" because I haven't figured out pre-recorded streaming yet. So, I'll just upload and post it.
Video/Audio will also be uploaded to my YouTube Page.

Trailer 'The Last Assassins' coming soon.!
Okay - I watched this three times. The editing needs work. The couple are in the car which looks like they filmed that scene in the studio. They're also supposed to be the last assassins, but are being attacked by a masked man. The fight scenes look choreographed instead of actually looking like a fight scene.
What are these two fighting for? The end of the world? What is that red light scene? Is the unknown lady supposed to be a rip-off of Princess Leia from "Star Wars?"
This doesn't look AI generated. Just bad special effects. You be the judge.

Excellent 'The Furious' Action Movie from Hong Kong 5-out-of-5 Stars*
THE FURIOUS distributed by LIONS-GATE (2026.). This is an English language Hong Kong martial arts movie. The production budget has reached $20 million. It has a hard climb to break-even - but nabbed $2.8 million so far. It opened to rave reviews in the U.S.
The story is simple. A deaf man's daughter is kidnapped on the street. She is added to a group of other kids taken by traffickers. The dad is joined by a male news reporter whose wife went missing while she investigated these traffickers.
I walked into a movie theater here at Albuquerque to watch this. I was not disappointed.
This action film is said to be the best since the two "Raid" movies from 10 years ago. I think this surpasses all action productions. Period.!
Within 5 minutes after this movie started. The action is non-stop and it's thrilling plus violent. The martial arts choreography is near perfection. The performers look like they pull no punches. It is so real.
What I find interesting is with our two fighting heroes. They face groups of traffickers without sharp weapons. The dad uses a personal hammer but loses it early on. Their defense is complete martial arts and we pull for them throughout. (I want to see this again!).
If you love action movies like I do. Check this out.
Below are a few action clips from the movie "The Furious."

Film Review 'Neglected' is cliche with no originality 1-out-of-5* Stars
NEGLECTED from INAUGURAL Entertainment (2026). This mystery thriller was said to be a "Theatrical Dump." Which means that the studio didn't believe in the movie. It got a limited release back on May 8, 2026 and "bombed" over that weekend.
I walked into an empty theater here at Albuquerque to watch this. I was completely sold by the movie trailer.
The story is simple. The son of a veteran police detective is kidnapped by a serial killer. That son is buried alive and the killer wants the dad to solve three murders. The son has 8 hours to live.
What a great premise right?.... Right..... That's where it ends because this film rips off so many thrillers from the 1990's.
Spoiler: What made me laugh was when the serial killer gave up clues. All the detective did was have a flashback and he solved each murder. It was so damn easy.
Spoiler: What made me laugh even more.... The veteran detective freaks out over those gruesome murders. Like he had never seen anything like this in his long career. I could go on, but I will not.
Clearly this was an independent movie. It was filmed in 12 days. David Lipper served as producer, screenwriter and director. He's also in this as an actor. He clearly was influenced by 1990's thrillers. Especially "Seven" (1995) with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt.
That is all fine, but why not go in a new direction? An example is..., let the detective "sweat" it out and re-open these murder cases on his own. Let him become a real detective and don't give him any clues....
You can watch "Neglected" over at Prime Video.
Trailer 'Gangland' coming soon.!
NOTE: This trailer on the surface is darkly lit. I think the reason is because most scenes were filmed at night. I had to watch it three times to see it clearly. Independent cinema.
It is set in Oklahoma and there are Native Indigenous influences here. Interesting.
