Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lorelei Linklater, Riley Cusick, Justin Meeks, George Welder, Jordan Wright, Ranger Lerway, Maddie Lea, Jonas Lerway, Lar Park Lincoln Writer: Riley Cusick Director: Riley Cusick Distributor: Gravitas Ventures Release Date: November 23, 2021 AUTUMN ROAD represents a major challenge for filmmaker Riley Cusick. Not only does Cusick write and direct, but he also stars as twin brothers Charlie and Vincent. Given all he’s taking on, Cusick does an admirable job with all but one of these tasks. We first meet Charlie (played as a young teen by Ranger Lerway) and Vincent (played as a youth by […]Read On »

Oddly, though, GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE doesn’t feel like a film directed by either Reitman, based on their work (Jason Reitman’s previous credits include UP IN THE […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Joseph Bruce, Joe Utsler, Michael Steinberg Directors: Tom Putnam & Brenna Sanchez Distributor: Fathom Events Release Date: November 12, 2021  THE UNITED STATES OF INSANITY is a documentary that’s partly about a weird clash between fandom and law enforcement. More precisely, it’s partly about what happened when the FBI investigated the band Insane Clown Posse’s ardent fans – known as Juggalos (the way Jimmy Buffett fans are known as Parrotheads) – as a gang and a possible terrorist organization. Once the case is introduced, THE UNITED STATES OF INSANITY also becomes a broader documentary about Insane […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds, Jude Hill, Lewis McAskie Writer: Kenneth Branagh Director: Kenneth Branagh Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: November 12, 2021 Belfast has, tragically, been synonymous with violence in Northern Ireland for much of the twentieth century. BELFAST the movie incorporates that, but it’s also the story of a boy, his family and their home. Director/writer Kenneth Branagh has based BELFAST on his own childhood. He achieves an appealing balance of nostalgia and verisimilitude in his depiction of a family, a neighborhood, and an era. BELFAST opens with a color panorama of […]Read On »

Instead of a team of people trying to retrieve the various things, a la FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES or WAREHOUSE 13, LAIR gives us someone who’s distributing these things. Steven Caramore (Corey Johnson) is, to put it kindly, a scumbag. Caramore has been in the business of staging fake […]Read On »
