Rating: Not Rated Stars: Caitlin Carver, Mina Sundwall, Richard Ellis, Christian Antidormi, Ethan Herisse, Ted Barton Writer: James B. Cox Director: James B. Cox Distributor: Night Hawks Entertainment/One Tree Entertainment Release Date: April 15, 2025 (digital) CALL OF THE VOID is one of those movies that invites a salute simply for its existence. Made on a low budget in the mountains of San Bernardino, California, it is well-acted, well-photographed, and has some great traditional American folk music. It doesn’t even do anything preposterous. At the outset, we see what appears to be an elemental void swirling around a black hole. […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Jordana Brewster, Devon Sawa Writers: Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy Director: Josh Ruben Distributor: Sony/Screen Gems Release Date: February 7, 2025 As masked slasher horror/Hallmark-type romantic comedies go, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect example than HEART EYES. Writers Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy and director Josh Ruben demonstrate keen knowledge of both genres, plus the ability to affectionately and cleverly poke fun at both. Simultaneously and miraculously, HEART EYES manages to faithfully replicate the look and feel of more sober offerings, […]Read On »
