Rating: R Stars: Hannah John-Kamen, Douglas Booth, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, Kristian Nairn, Chris Walley, Colm Meaney, Niamh Cusack, Finbar Lynch Writer: Mark Stay, story by Mark Stay & Jon Wright Director: Jon Wright Distributor: Well Go USA Entertainment Release Date: March 10, 2023 (theatrical); March 14, 2023 (digital) UNWELCOME is part of a pleasing new mini-trend in horror. Instead of keeping secrets for no good reason, someone who actually knows what’s going on explains it early on, and it falls to the main characters to heed the warning or not. This may cut down on mystery a bit, but it stops […]Read On »

Moore, Leo Hanna, Kahyun Kim, Scott Seiss, Matthew Rhys, Allan Henry Writer: Jimmy Warden Director: Elizabeth Banks Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: February 24, 2023 It’s easy enough to believe COCAINE BEAR’s advertising claim that it is “based on true events.” After all, with all the cocaine smuggling going on, there is no reason not to believe that some got dropped in a forest and eaten by a bear.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Carter O’Donnell, Brady O’Donnell, Mick Thyer, Paul “Doc” Ignatius, Trina Campbell, Nick Psinakis Writers: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Directors: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Distributor: Cleopatra Entertainment Release Date: February 21, 2023 (digital and home video) THE LONG DARK TRAIL has beautiful cinematography, by Mitchell Kome, of gorgeous woodland splendor. It has a lovely folky score by Kevin Ignatius, who wrote and directed the film with Nick Psinakis. It also has the virtue of brevity, clocking in at an hour and eleven minutes, not counting end credits. What THE LONG DARK TRAIL doesn’t have is […]Read On »

It takes the time to find wonder in trees reflected in a dipper full of well water, or a moon bright enough to light the way to a secluded beach. This quiet does not mean the film feels slow, however. It is, like its main character, watchful […]Read On »
