Coherence
Starring Emily Foxler, Maury Sterling, Nicholas Brendon, Lorene Scafaria
Directed by James Ward Byrkit

This is going to be a much different type of review, because "Coherence" is one of those unique films that demands you see it to believe it, and to go in with knowing as little as possible. It's a cerebral mind game of the highest caliber, filled with tremendous performances, a tight set design and close-up camera angles that gives you both the sense of claustrophobia and also makes you feel like you're an omniscient third party member of the movie. In essence the film is about a group of friends coming together for a dinner party during a comet passing, but in reality there's so much more to it. It deals with heavy-hitting themes that'll have you talking about it long after it ends, and honestly that's all I can say about this film - go see it!

The Score: A+

Major Theatrical Releases May 2019

Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**  The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder."  When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go.  I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen.  Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President.  Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...

Special Review: "Midwest Sessions"

Special Review: "Midwest Sessions" Directed by Mario Ricciardi Independent filmmaking is a fascinating concept, wherein the director and everyone involved sets out to make something unique, different, and go against the traditional status quo of what's defined as a "blockbuster." These films aren't usually seen by the masses and won't be included in the top ten highest grossing movies of all time, but they offer something those films don't: a heart and commitment by the people involved to craft something wholly distinctive that tell a story in their own way. Such is "Midwest Sessions," a local film directed by Mario Ricciardi that centers on the city of Youngstown, Ohio, and the captivating people who live there. Told in different vignettes that seem distinct and different from one another but coming together as a whole in the end, it's an engrossing film that utilizes its shoestring budget and gives great performances, decent effects a...

Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare

Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare Starring Martin Portlock, Megan Placito, Kit Green, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney Directed by Scott Jeffrey Two years ago Winnie-the-Pooh entered the public domain, and the horror community took note and immediately put out a movie called "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey." I went in not expecting to see anything stellar or noteworthy, but to have a bloody good time with Winnie and Piglet killing people, but what I got was a snoozefest of a movie where neither Winnie nor Piglet talked, and their costumes looked like rubber masks the director found in a Halloween store. It was lazy, dull, and stupid, and I was very disappointed. Then, last year, they put out the sequel, and my expectations were lowered even more. But then before the movie began we got a video of the director and the star talking about their passion for horror movies and ones that've inspired them, as they plan to create their own horror cinematic universe with the Winnie-the...
