Erin Distributor: Brainstorm Media/Twisted Pictures Release Date (theatrical and VOD): February 10, 2017  There is, of all things, what seems like a good mystery novel at the heart of HAVENHURST.

In ABC’s Wednesday-night comedy SPEECHLESS, Kyla Kenedy plays Dylan DiMeo. Dylan is the athletic sole girl in a family that also includes high school students Ray (Mason Cook) and JJ (Micah Fowler).

Rating: R Stars: Alexander Skarsgard, Michael Pena, Tessa Thompson, Theo James Writer: John Michael McDonagh Director: John Michael McDonagh Distributor: Saban Films Release Date (theatrical and on demand): February 3, 2017 Apart from the fact that people have mobile phones and flat screen TVs, WAR ON EVERYONE could just about be set and have been made in the 1970s. It is written and directed by John Michael McDonagh, who also did the police black comedy THE GUARD and the (unseen by this reviewer) drama CALVARY. In THE GUARD, McDonagh presented us with a larcenous but ultimately heroic small-town cop (Brendan […]Read On »
