PRIVATE NUMBER | © 2015 ARC Entertainment

Rating: R Stars: Hal Ozsan, Nicholle Tom, Judd Nelson, Tom Sizemore, Gary McDonald Writer: LazRael Lison Director: LazRael Lison Distributor: ARC Entertainment/Summer House Pictures Release Date: Theatrical & VOD, May 1, 2015 PRIVATE NUMBER is one of those what’s-going-on-here thrillers that works as well as it does partly because writer/director LazRael Lison keeps us guessing most of the way through whether what’s happening is hallucinatory, supernatural, or some combination of the two. It also helps that the film has a sturdy leading man in Hal Ozsan, who is capable of the personality swings that the script demands. A prologue sequence […]Read On »

Stars: Noah Galloway, Robert Herjavec, Nastia Liukin, Riker Lynch, Chris Soules, Rumer Willis, Willow Shields Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: April 27th, 2015 There is only one thing to say about tonight’s DANCING WITH THE STARS show – it was devastating, especially for Willow Shields & Mark Ballas who were prematurely ejected out at just week seven. The irony of it all is that after a dance off they were the highest scoring couple of the night. This is reminiscent of a prior shocker years ago also involving Ballas when he and partner Sabrina Bryan – said to be […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Samantha Morton, Michael Shannon, Natasha Calis, Charlie Tahan, Leslie Lyles, Peter Fonda, Meadow Williams, Nolan Lyons Writer: Stephen Lancellotti Director: John McNaughton Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: New York theatrical and VOD, April 10, 2015; Los Angeles theatrical, April 24, 2015 Too often, thrillers with child/young adult protagonists are either BAD SEED/THE OMEN-esque – nothing wrong with these, except that they tend toward the predictable – or the cleaned-up-to-the-point-of-anemia PG-13 model. THE HARVEST is neither. There are several points where we get a little ahead of where writer Stephen Lancelotti and director John McNaughton are leading […]Read On »

Read Part 1 here. AX: Oswald has a very complicated relationship with Gotham police detective Jim Gordon [Ben McKenzie]. How would you describe it?
