In CARNIVAL ROW, now streaming its second and final season on Prime Video, faeries and humans share a world that resembles eighteenth-century Europe. Many have settled in the Burgue, where some of the Fae and some of the humans would like to coexist in peace. However, a lot of them hate each other. Jamie Harris plays virulently anti-Fae human police officer Sergeant Dombey, and Jay Ali plays the adamantly anti-human Fae freedom fighter/terrorist Kaine. Their personal animosity is particularly fierce, as Dombey killed Kaine’s wife. In reality, Ali and Harris are good friends, which comes across in their separate but […]Read On »

Moore, Leo Hanna, Kahyun Kim, Scott Seiss, Matthew Rhys, Allan Henry Writer: Jimmy Warden Director: Elizabeth Banks Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: February 24, 2023 It’s easy enough to believe COCAINE BEAR’s advertising claim that it is “based on true events.” After all, with all the cocaine smuggling going on, there is no reason not to believe that some got dropped in a forest and eaten by a bear.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Carter O’Donnell, Brady O’Donnell, Mick Thyer, Paul “Doc” Ignatius, Trina Campbell, Nick Psinakis Writers: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Directors: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Distributor: Cleopatra Entertainment Release Date: February 21, 2023 (digital and home video) THE LONG DARK TRAIL has beautiful cinematography, by Mitchell Kome, of gorgeous woodland splendor. It has a lovely folky score by Kevin Ignatius, who wrote and directed the film with Nick Psinakis. It also has the virtue of brevity, clocking in at an hour and eleven minutes, not counting end credits. What THE LONG DARK TRAIL doesn’t have is […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Carrie Crowley, Andrew Bennett, Catherine Clinch, Michael Patric, Kate Nic Chonaonaigh, Joan Sheehy Writer: Colm Bairéad, based on the story “Foster” by Claire Keegan Director: Colm Bairéad Distributor: Neon Release Date: February 24, 2023 THE QUIET GIRL, Oscar-nominated this year as Best International (Foreign Language) Feature, is a quiet film. It takes the time to find wonder in trees reflected in a dipper full of well water, or a moon bright enough to light the way to a secluded beach. This quiet does not mean the film feels slow, however. It is, like its main character, watchful […]Read On »

In CARNIVAL ROW, now in its second and final season on Prime Video, the Fae are rebelling against their human oppressors in the eighteenth-century-Europe-like Burgue. Chief human upholders of the anti-Fae policies are the ruling Chancellor, Jonah Breakspear, played by Arty Froushan, and the leader of the opposition party, Sophie Longerbane, played by Caroline Ford. What nobody except Jonah and Sophie know is that the two of them are in league together. Jonah is privately diffident and listens to Sophie, while Sophie seems to be playing all sides against the middle in her quest for ultimate power. British performer Ford […]Read On »

It also, as it turns out, is not really about extraditing forty-seven Korean accused criminals from the Philippines, where they have taken refuge, although that’s how the film starts out. Due to an earlier airport fiasco, the police in both nations […]Read On »

The film is articulate and well-acted. However, like its protagonist, Femi Jackson (Brandon Victor Dixon), it doesn’t ultimately know what it ought to do with all it has on its hands. Femi […]Read On »
