Rating: Not Rated Stars: Emma Fitzpatrick, Angela Gulner, Jennifer Lafleur, Sibongile Mlambo, Corina Kinnear Writers: Emma Fitzpatrick & Gia Elliot Director: Gia Elliot Distributor: Dark Sky Films Release Date: March 4, 2022 TAKE BACK THE NIGHT clearly has its heart in the right place. The closing credits start with phone numbers for real-world rape survivor and suicide hotlines. The film also has a tricky but potentially intriguing premise. What if a woman was assaulted by a literal monster? Director Gia Elliot co-wrote the TAKE BACK THE NIGHT screenplay with lead actor Emma Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick plays Jane, who goes online by […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, Antonio Banderas, Steve Waddington Writers: Rafe Judkins and Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, screen story by Rafe Lee Judkins and Jon Hanley Rosenberg & Mark D. Walker Director: Ruben Fleischer Distributor: Sony/Columbia Release Date: February 18, 2022  UNCHARTED is based on a phenomenally successful series of PlayStation videogames about treasure hunter Nathan Drake.

Brad (Taye Diggs) and Jess (Jessica Uberuaga) are a happily married couple who are delighted to move to Southern […]Read On »
