Movie/VoD Review: HARBINGER DOWN

Cast: Lance Henriksen, Camille Balsamo, Matt Winston, Giovonnie Samuels, Winston James Francis, Mick Ignis, Michael Estime Writer: Alec Gillis Director: Alec Gillis Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: August 7, 2015 HARBINGER DOWN is a pretty blatant rip-off of the John Carpenter classic THE THING. However, the people who made the film – on the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign combined with funds from their own pockets – make clear that’s what they were going for in a homage to not just THE THING but also other science fiction monster movies from the 80s including LEVIATHAN and even a bit […]Read On »

KAHLIL GIRAN'S THE PROPHET | © 2015 Gkids/Participant Media

Rating: PG Stars (voices): Liam Neeson, Salma Hayek, John Krasinski, Frank Langella, Alfred Molina, Quvenzhane Wallis Writer: Roger Allers, poetry and quotations by Kahlil Gibran Director: Roger Allers; chapter directors, Michal Socha, Nina Paley, Joann Sfar, Joan Gratz, Bill Plympton, Tomm Moore, Mohammed Harib, Gaetan Brizzi & Paul Brizzi Distributor: GKids/Participant Media Release Date: August 7, 2015 There’s no question that KAHLIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET is an admirable enterprise in its visual scope, its differing animation styles and its international nature. However, it’s pitched as a children’s film. As such, it feels much more like a lesson and less like […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgard, Christopher Meloni, Kristen Wiig Writer: Marielle Heller, based on the book by Phoebe Gloeckner Director: Marielle Heller Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics Release Date: August 7, 2015 It’s easy to imagine that THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL. Those who find it true to their own experience, metaphorically (and possibly though not necessarily literally), are likely to love it. Those whose teen years went in completely other directions may still be intrigued, but could equally be disbelieving, alienated and/or bored.

The title small town in Hallmark Channel’s CEDAR COVE, Saturdays at 8 PM, is usually a pretty friendly place. However, things in the close-knit burg may be getting competitive with the arrival new district attorney Paul Watson, played by Colin Ferguson. Paul, it seems, is interested in Judge Olivia Lockhart (Andie MacDowell), just when she’s having some issues with boyfriend Jack Griffith (Dylan Neal). Ferguson is fairly visible these days to anyone with commercial TV, thanks to his gig as the Maytag repairman in a series of ads. He’s also got a following from his five seasons as Sheriff Jack […]Read On »
