Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ben Silver, Amber Doig-Thorne, Amanda Himsworth, Chris Sanders, Crystal J. Huang, Jimmy “The Bee” Bennett, Jon-Paul Gates, John Altman, Michael Della Pia Writer: Chris Sanders Director: Randy Kent Distributor: Black Coppice Films Ltd. Release Date: October 28, 2022 DEMONS AT DAWN bears a passing kinship with 2012’s THE KILL LIST. Both movies feature working-class English hit men who take on jobs that put them in some very strange – indeed, supernatural – situations. THE KILL LIST had terrifically naturalistic dialogue and performances, but let the audience get a little too far ahead of the plot. DEMONS […]Read On »

We start out in Chicago in 1968, where protesters are getting loud outside the Democratic National Convention. Joy Griffin (Elizabeth Banks) is curious, but has more immediate concerns as wife, […]Read On »

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN | ©2022 Searchlight Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan, Pat Shortt, Gary Lydon Writer: Martin McDonagh Director: Martin McDonagh Distributor: Searchlight Pictures Release Date: October 21, 2022 THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN is a dark but oddly warm comic tragedy. Set in 1923 on a small island of the coast of Ireland, it features the kinds of eccentric, sharply-drawn characters we’ve come to expect from writer/director Martin McDonagh. It should be noted, for those who care, that there are no actual banshees in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN. There are ill portents, to be sure, some death, and some blasts […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Stephen Lang, Marc Senter, Liana Wright-Mark, Patch Darragh Writer: Joel Veach Director: Lucky McKee Distributor: RLJE Films Release Date: October 14, 2022 As we see from the evocative painting by Vanessa McKee under the opening credits, OLD MAN is set in an isolated cabin in the woods. Stephen Lang plays the old man of the title. He is sleeping alone in the cabin’s worn-looking bed when we meet him, wearing orange long johns that suggest a prison jumpsuit. He wakes up with a start, then begins searching for his missing dog, Rascal, who he accuses of […]Read On »
