Written and directed by William Woods, the movie asks the kinds of questions, interstellar, technical and moral, that propelled many ‘50s and ‘60s speculative fiction novels and stories. In this instance, the driving matter is whether, in the midst of disaster, it’s better to try to restore the status quo or to risk annihilation in the hopes […]Read On »

The character of Teddy Sharpe in the new feature drama GANGLAND, opening in theatres and on digital July 10, is not Lou Diamond Phillips’s first go-round playing law enforcement on a reservation.

As Teddy’s new deputy, fellow outsider Sandra Scala (Dana Namerode), learns, something in […]Read On »

Writer/director Tyler Shields seems to be going for a THIS IS SPINAL TAP mockumentary that mixes true crime and behind-the-scenes examination of the making of a film. Then again, some of the specifics are so peculiar that […]Read On »
