PUNCH - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Trinity Creative Partnership & Miracle Media

SYNOPSIS: Frankie is celebrating one final night out in her coastal hometown with friends before heading back to university. However, a sinister local legend Mr. Punch is on the prowl, and chaos ensues as Frankie and her friends fight for survival against this mysterious slasher.

REVIEW: Filmmaker Andy Edwards takes the classic Punch & Judy shows and turns it on its head as a slasher film with a Scooby-Do feel to it. It has a feel like “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey,” but has a better plot and a darker feel. American audiences might recognize Edwards’ work from the 2016 horror comedy “Zombie Spring Breakers.”

Edwards’ screenplay is a strong character driven tale. Frankie is trying to escape her small seaside town and her negative home life. Edwards introduces this dark tale of Punch, which seems like a vigilante presiding over the town with this “Purge” like impunity. I mention a Scooby-Do feel because you have these “kids” that are trying to unravel this mystery but with deadlier consequences. I enjoyed the characters and the dialogue, but could have used a bit more of the history and evolution behind Punch in this community. I did enjoy the Freddy Kruger-esque one liners Punch delivers, but thought there could have been fewer and let the character’s silence be more menacing. Somewhere in the third act we are presented with this darker cloud hanging over this seaside town with Punch being the manifestation of that dread. I would have welcomed a bit more background on that and feel it would have provided a compelling conspiracy to the tale.

I liked the performances. They’re as solid as anything in the last few “Scream” movies. This is Alina Allison, who plays Frankie, first feature film. She gives a solid performance and nicely carries the film. I enjoyed the rest of the cast, who give seamless performances and weave the viewer into the drama and terror.

PUNCH has strong production values. I like the editing, cinematography, and framing. They have excellent locations and loved the amusement pier. Will Gold provides a wonderful score that adds atmosphere and enhances the tension and drama. I thought the Punch mask was simple and effective. The costume could have used something to add a bit of satire or terror to make it more memorable. The sound design of Punch’s voice is a bit troublesome as, taking into consideration the British accent, it makes it a bit difficult to understand what he is saying at times.

If you’re a slasher movie fan, Andy Edwards’s PUNCH is sure to satisfy. Solid cast, excellent production values and an ending that creates a potential for a sequel. I can imagine the title, “Punch 2: Judy’s Revenge” or “Punch 2: The Bat is Family.” I’m just saying. Also, Edwards’ next film, which I’ll be on the lookout for, sounds like a hoot, “Cinderella's Revenge.”

CAST: Alina Allison, Kierston Wareing, May Kelly, Dani Thompson, Jamie Lomas, and Mark Sears. CREW: Director/Screenplay/Producer/Editor - Andy Edwards; Producer - Rebecca Matthews; Cinematographer - Max Williams; Score - Will Gold; Production Designer - Jenny Duyen Ky Cao ; Costume Designer - Andrew Majtenyi; Hair, Make-up & Special Effects Artists - Addy Frame & Aybuke Kavas; Punch Mask - Rubber Johnnies; Visual Effects - Paul Ralph.

(18+) Pick an image: allow your intuition to guide you.

💀| JACK &SALLY

Your relationship with this person is very healing and team-based. They think of your relationship as a partnership where each of you do your part and things come together beautifully and naturally. They are your strength in areas where you feel weak and vise versa.

Things that they cannot see, you see for them. You both share a vision and put the puzzle of your life together gracefully, not forcing anything.

When you are sad, they lift you up and they allow you to be yourself authentically. They don’t think your intuition is weird, they don’t think your culture or practices are strange, they simply recognize those things as apart of who you are.

They find you to be graceful and sweet, they love that about you. They can see growing with you. Your relationship with them brings many blessings and they have no trouble showing their affections. They want the best for you and strive to never hurt you.

Aftercare for your reading:

If your life was a movie, what would you title it? Be as creative. Use that title to guide your visions for the future.

—————————————————————

👻| MORTICIA &GOMEZ

In this relationship I see mind games at play especially, regarding sex and intimacy. There is a power dynamic here where one or both involved, enjoys toying with the other for amusement. An example behavior could be intentionally making them jealous. Someone in the relationship likes to have power over the other, they enjoy more of a “yes person” that does what they say, serves them, puts them on a pedestal.

The relationship is hot and cold, it’s hard to see a clear outcome of how long it will last. I don’t currently see a serious commitment. It feels like something fun for the moment. Although it feels fun, there is great risk for emotional damage from the tactics used.

Ultimately, this relationship can teach the people involved about empathy, how much to give to someone else before needing to give back to oneself, and different ways to fulfill needs without causing emotional damage.

Note: Learning more about proper BDSM ethics could be helpful in fulfilling needs with less potential for emotional scarring. Consent is key.

Bird’s-eye view—

Imagine you are a bird flying and observing your situation from above. What is happening? How are the people involved behaving? Perceiving the situation from a distance can help you gain new insights and ideas in seeing a bigger picture.

😎| TRINITY &NEO

In this relationship, both parties are equally determined. They have a seriousness about them where they aren’t into wasting their time and energy. They also maintain their autonomy while being in this relationship so, they are a couple that doesn’t sacrifice their personal goals and hobbies to become absorbed in the relationship. They respect each other’s life paths and don’t hold each other back.

You both are ambitious and certain of your highest calling. It wouldn’t be surprising if you knew what your career choice would be when you were a child. Some professions I’m picking up on are teacher, office personnel, management, and military— doesn’t have to be.

Your relationship is like petting a cat. You come together for connection but maintain a little bit of distance to focus on other things. Some zodiac signs that I’m picking up on are of earth, fire, and air— doesn’t have to be.

You have an earthly connection with this person meaning, they are not just your lover, they are your friend.

Aftercare for your reading:

We Time & Me Time—

Find the balance in spending time with others and with yourself. Having quality time in your own company nurtures you and allows you to enjoy moments with the people you care about. Set aside time this week for both “We time” & “Me time”. Be intentional on how you’d like to spend this time with others and with yourself.

Augury: Bird Divination

Augury, also called ornithomancy, is the practice of reading birds and their behavior to divinate the past, present, and future. It is one of the oldest forms of divination, having been practiced by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, as well as the Celts and Native Americans alike. The reader in this case is referred to as the "augur", and reading the birds is often called "taking the auspices".

Birds are universally seen as messengers and sometimes, as psychopomps, connecting us to the other side and the divine. Augury incorporates the type of bird, the number of birds, as well as their flight patterns and behavior. One can gain powerful insight by incorporating this divination into their practice.

San Diego Unified students 'Level Up' for learning this summer

Thousands of San Diego Unified School District students return to campuses across the county Wednesday.

They are enrolled in the Level Up summer enrichment program.

The program was created in 2021 by the district in partnership with the San Diego Foundation.

The Board of Trustees used federal COVID-19 money and a creative funding plan to launch the enrichment learning model at 49 elementary and middle schools.

This summer, $9 million will pay for 24,000 students to enhance their summer with academics and social and emotional learning.

“We want to provide these opportunities for them to really grow and unlock the genius in them to see themselves doing something with an opportunity they wouldn’t otherwise have," said Tobie Pace, senior director of San Diego Unified School District's Extended Learning Opportunities.

Classes include everything from music to sports to field trips to the San Diego Zoo. The activities are offered by nearly 50 local nonprofit organizations.

Trinity Theatre Company is one of the community organizations. Students will be exposed to musical theater and the company's summer production of "Matilda."

Priority enrollment was given to children from low-income families, foster youth, unhoused kids and students with special needs.

Trinity Theatre Artistic Director Sean Paul Boyd is ready to support all of them.

“Instead of saying we’re going to work against this, we’re going to work with it. We want that unique difference to be part of our storytelling," Boyd said.

Eden Levy, 13, has performed with the Trinity troupe since third grade. She’s excited the company will share the magic of musical theatre with students who may have never experienced it before.

“You feel very welcomed in the community, and you feel like you have a family you’re learning from. Then, you get to perform in front of everyone," she said.

During a press conference at Monroe Clark Middle School Tuesday, Superintendent Dr. Lamont Jackson said, "Our students … not only need it … but they deserve these opportunities."

There are still a few openings for middle school students. Parents who are interested in signing up their child can call (858) 810-7310. The program is free. *Reposted article from KPBS by M.G. Perez on June 12, 2024
