Rating: R Stars: Chloe Grace Moretz, Nick Robinson, Beulah Koale, Taylor John Smith, Callan Mulvey, Benedict Wall, Joe Witkowski, Byron Coll Writers: Max Landis and Roseanne Liang Director: Roseanne Liang Distributor: Vertical Entertainment/Redbox Entertainment Release Date: January 1, 2021 SHADOW IN THE CLOUD combines a (low-budget) WWII fighter plane action drama with the classic TWILIGHT ZONE episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” The mixture is so natural that it prompts the question: why has it taken so long for anybody to do this particular blend of genres?

Well, in this version, scripted by Max Landis and directed by Paul McGuigan, we do and we don’t.

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Dane Dehaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jorgan, Michael Kelly, Ashley Hinshaw Writer: Max Landis, story by Max Landis & Josh Trank Director: Josh Trank Distributor: Twentieth Century Fox Release Date: February 3, 2012 Two things should be noted upfront about CHRONICLE. The first is that, in itself, it’s a very good movie. The second is that it proves there are still new things to say about the genre of superpowers (“superheroes” would be a misstatement in this instance). A “found footage” movie, CHRONICLE begins when teen loner Andrew (Dane Dehaan) obtains an old video camera and starts […]Read On »
