SECRET HEADQUARTERS (Video on Demand (VOD) USA 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Secret Headquarters—superhero movie—accesses the talents of Owen Wilson to play the superhero. Wilson gives the role just the right touch to make it a good superhero movie for the younger set. The film presents some new and upcoming younger actors/actresses that provide good entertainment value. The presentation and portrayal are good. The movie has lots of flash and dash that children may enjoy. Watch for Michael Peña in the movie.

MONEY (Palm Beach International Film Festival Palm Beach California USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.6|5.0 Starsìì

Money needs a complete script rewrite. There are several actors with good potential for future films—Kellen Lutz, Jesse Williams, and Jamie Bamber—but this film does not give them real opportunity to show their potential. Jess Weixler and Lucia Guerrero need time to expand their acting abilities.
