"There is saying: 'when it rains in LA, disaster follows...'" Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror film titled When It Rains in L.A., from filmmaker David M. Parks. Not to be confused with any other film that is about the rare time when it rains in Los Angeles. The horror film follows the story of an Eastern European girl who escapes the horror of losing her sugar daddy boyfriend in her own country. She travels to Los Angeles for a vacation with friends, where she faces the reckoning of the trauma she left behind... and the rain she unearthed coming there. This sounds like a drama about trauma but it's actually a slasher horror film about a masked murderer coming after her. Huh? Why? Is he seeking vengeance because she escaped from this sugar daddy? This is all so weird. When It Rains in LA stars Monroe Cline,...

The movie “Running on Empty” explores what happens when a young man named Mortimer, played by Kier Gilchrist, learns he only has about one year left to live. As a mortician, Mort’s unusual job was to prepare deceased bodies for funerals. When a new medical discovery revealed each person’s exact death date, Mort was shocked to find out his time was almost up. How would he make the most of the limited days remaining?

Directed by Daniel Andre in his feature film debut, “Running on Empty” presented this unique premise as a romantic comedy with darker elements. The story follows Mort as he searches for connection and meaning after his long-time fiancée dumps him over their divergent life expectancies. Along the way, he encounters strange characters and bizarre situations through a dating app matching people by their time left.

While the concept offered potential for interesting drama or bittersweet romance,...

"Things are about to get so much worse." Saban has revealed the official trailer for a movie called The Clean Up Crew, an action-heavy crime thriller from filmmaker Jon Keeyes. He's been churning out tons of these junk action movies, mostly with Antonio Banderas recently, and I'm not sure who even watches them. In this, when a crime scene cleanup crew discovers a briefcase full of money, they are unwittingly sent into a battle with a ruthless and corrupt crime boss, mobsters, hitmen, and corrupt government agents who are hell-bent on getting it back. Sounds like every other script about people who find money. Starring Antonio Banderas, Melissa Leo, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, with Swen Temmel, Ekaterina Baker, Leslie Stratton, Conor Mullen, and Matthew Tompkins. It's another of these eerily similar films, as there's also Wolfs about clean up guys who get into trouble when they're booked for the same job.

Exclusive: Keir Gilchrist (Atypical) and Lucy Hale (The Hating Game) will topline Daniel André’s debut feature, Mort in Sherman Oaks—an offbeat romance that will also star Francesca Eastwood (Old), Jim Gaffigan (Linoleum), Jay Pharoah (SNL), Rhys Coiro (Paradise City) and more.

The film written by André is about a down-and-out mortician living in near-future Los Angeles, where individuals can receive their Ldc (life day count) by using a specific scientific method. When Mort (Gilchrist) finds out he has less than a year to live, his fiancé Nicole (Eastwood) leaves him and he’s forced to accept his fate. Mort joins a dating service that matches people by their death dates and meets Kate (Hale), all while being stalked by a deranged pimp named Simon (Coiro).

Monica Potter (Goliath), Clara McGregor (The Birthday Cake), Dustin Milligan (Schitt’s Creek), Leslie Stratton (Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman), Dylan Flashner (The Card Counter...

This “Asking for It” review was first published June 13, 2021 from the Tribeca Film Festival.

Eschewing subtlety for in-your-face urgency, Eamon O’Rourke’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere “Asking for It” is packed with familiar faces, timely messages, and righteous fervor. Trashing the screen like “Promising Young Woman”‘s feisty Gen-z sister, it has all the makings of a solid cult favorite.

O’Rourke has thoughtfully curated an unusually strong lineup for a feature debut, both onscreen and off. Our entry into the film’s world is wide-eyed, sweet-natured Joey (co-producer Kiersey Clemons), a small-town waitress who lives with her grandparents (veterans Patricia Belcher and Wayne Dehart). A chance meeting with an old friend leads to a devastating night that threatens to destroy Joey’s soul.

The change in her demeanor is noticed by Regina, a diner regular who introduces Joey to her friends, the vigilante Cherry Bombers. All of them have...

On paper, the premise of writer-director Eamon O’Rourke’s feature debut seems irresistible: An all-girl gang of abuse survivors, seriously upskilled in the use of baseball bats, bombs and butterfly knives, roams heartland America exacting vengeance on Bad Men — which here means #AlmostAllMen. But in execution (and there are precious few of those), “Asking for It” is too much like its cardboard heroines: edgy on the outside, empty within. It’s the “Charlie’s Angels” freeze-pose of rape-revenge movies.

The opening — a montage culled from the lower reaches of the collective incel id — promises better. In a flurry of YouTube clips and TikTok testimonials, we’re introduced to the fully loathsome Mark Vanderhill (Ezra Miller), a pick-up artist turned Men’s Rights crusader whose mantra of male dominance, expressed through the subjugation of women and the undiscerning worship of the submachine gun, might seem exaggerated if you have been in a...

It's not a trippy '60s flashback. Vanessa Hudgens took to Instagram this weekend and posed for the mirror in a suit that takes fans back to when she was robbing restaurants to pay for her spring break vacation ala Spring Breakers. The Pucci design and colors coupled with a matching headscarf would make it hard to pick her out of a Woodstock line-up. However, her fans can't take their eyes off her rock hard abs. Captioned, "Loves a set."

It's nice to see Vanessa Hudgens squeezing in time for some R&r, because she has been quite a busy woman. She has to keep those vocal chords in shape when she's singing the national anthem for the Phoenix Suns before Game 5 of the NBA Finals, like she did Saturday night in Phoenix, Arizona.

And those abs don't just happen; she definitely lived in the gym to prepare for her...

Exclusive: The Peter Kallinteris Agency is launching Hollywood’s first talent division, dedicated specifically to diverse artists from the LGBTQ+ community.

The agency’s founder, Peter Kallinteris, made the announcement on Monday.

“Throughout the history of cinema, gays and lesbians have been portrayed in stereotypical roles and both are still often played by straight people,” he said, “but within the broader queer culture, there are subcultures, just as within any community. There are nuances within each that will never find its way in a table read. To create an authentic moment, the space has to be made for those who have lived that life every day. These are their stories, and they should have representation on screen. That’s why this division is so important.

“The queer division of Pka was a natural outgrowth of my own personal evolution coming out as a gay man, then from artist to agent,...

"I'm a product of chaos!" Vertical Entertainment has released an official trailer for an action thriller titled Rogue Hostage, the latest from filmmaker Jon Keeyes. This hasn't played at any film festivals and is dropping in theaters + on VOD starting this summer. Rogue Hostage stars Tyrese Gibson as a single father and former Marine who gets caught up in a hostage situation involving a dangerous domestic terrorist. Locked inside a local store, he must fight back to save his family and his step-father, and the lives of everyone else inside there. The film's cast includes John Malkovich (!!), Holly Taylor, Michael Jai White, Luna Lauren Velez, John D. Hickman, Leslie Stratton, and Christopher Backus as the main bad guy. This doesn't look that great, basically Die Hard-but-with-Tyrese-instead set inside of a home goods store. Might still be a fun watch? Worth a look at least. Here's the official trailer ...
