Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brian Landis Folkins, Kathleen Brady, Amy Rutledge, Wil Wheaton Writer: Jon Stevenson Director: Jon Stevenson Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: September 11, 2020 RENT-A-PAL is one of those movies that’s hard to evaluate. It seems to be the movie that writer/director Jon Stevenson set out to make, it’s well-acted, and it works up some tension. However, it raises a lot of intriguing questions and then doesn’t answer them. It winds up not being any of the movies the setup leads us to hope we’re going to watch. We’re in 1990 Denver, Colorado. Forty-year-old David (Brian Landis […]Read On »

Walia, Andy McPhee, Roger Ward, Brendan Bacon, Albert Goikhman, Daniel Reader Writer: James Di Martino Director: James Di Martino Distributor: Freedom Cinema Release Date: August 28, 2020  THE FACELESS MAN keeps us guessing as to what it actually is for a good while.

Movie Review: WIDOW’S POINT

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN | 09/02/2020

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Craig Sheffer, KateLynn E.

Director Brandon Christensen, who co-wrote the screenplay with Colin Minihan, creates an atmosphere that packs a wallop. What the story may lack in certain explanations, it makes up for with fear. Beth (Keegan Connor Tracy) and Kevin (Sean Rogerson) are a happily married upscale couple. They mutually adore their eight-year-old son Josh (Jeff […]Read On »
