THE HEIRLOOM is Heavy with a capitol H. “This is a true story” flashes briefly at the beginning of the film. It is a semi-autobiographical piece, drawing, heavily, on a couple’s real-life adoption of a rescue dog, Dilly, during the pandemic, and the strains on the couple’s relationship, according to numerous cyber film synopses and descriptions easily found on Google. This reviewer regards the COVID-19 Pandemic as an existential menace, that showed us what the gates of hell might look like. – Review, Article by Gregg W. Morris, Editor, Reviewer.

On the one hand, dazzling production values as well as razzle-dazzle scenes and kinetically charged fighting scenes; on the other, KNOW MERCY can be confounding. It is not rated by the MPAA, and, so, it’s not rated by this reviewer, who believes the cinematography and visuals result in arousing and captivating moments. – Review by Gregg W. Morris
SUNRAY: FALLEN SOLDIER – juggling multiple themes, sub-themes, plot twists and twists & turns, flipping and flopping – swaggers and shimmies like the mother of all revenge movies on steroids. – By Gregg W. Morris, Reviewer, Editor, the WORD
This reviewer decided not to rate this film other than say it’s the kind of movie he would only watch once – and with no regrets. Article review by Gregg W. Morris
During this short film beaut, audiences may overlook or even forget the things they’ve come to expect in regular feature films but those missing ingredients enhance this superb short, things such as a small cast, minimalist dialogue for much of the film and the fact that the film short isn’t in the preferred widescreen format. – Review by Gregg W.

This documentary reveals the widespread voter suppression that undermined the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election and shows how those same tactics continue to drive the anti-democratic MAGA movement.
