Rating: PG-13 Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Spacey, Sarah Paulson, Victor Garber, Hope Davis Writer: Danny Strong, inspired by the book J.D. SALINGER: A LIFE by Kenneth Slawenski Director: Danny Strong Distributor: IFC Release Date: September 8, 2017  Writing is a solitary activity that, unlike some others (bicycling, mountain climbing, even painting), is extremely difficult to make watchable. In bringing the early life of CATCHER IN THE RYE author J.D. Salinger to the screen, REBEL IN THE RYE writer/director Danny Strong deftly surmounts the challenges of the subject matter.

Blu-ray Review: ONE DARK NIGHT

ONE DARK NIGHT Blu-ray | ©2017 Code Red

Stars: Meg Tilly, Melissa Newman, Robin Evans, Donald Hotton, Adam West Writers: Tom McLoughlin, Michael Hawes Director: Tom McLoughlin Distributor: Code Red Suggested Retail Price: $17.99 It’s strange that we continue to find solace in low-budget horror films from the 1980s – particularly the early part of that decade. Horror at that time not only saw a rise in the slasher genre, but also every other kind of subgenre (creature, supernatural, splatter). And now even second and third-tier movies released during that time has allowed for Blu-ray Collector’s editions of movies that may have been relegated to the budget bins […]Read On »
