Movie Review: Pascal, Reaser, Sewell and Goggins as Hollywood “types” face their future and their humanity when they meet “The Uninvited”
Some indie films confound the viewer with a “What did these actors see in THIS?” connundrum.

Movie Review: Millennials try to buy-in or opt-out of the “American Meltdown”

Movie Review: An Old West Sheriff sees Dead People — “Ghosts of Red Ridge”
