‘The Last Stop in Yuma County’ Review: A Brisk Coens/Tarantino Homage

Sometimes it’s ok to wear your inspirations on your sleeve. “The Last Stop in Yuma County” follows a group of strangers (Jim Cummings, Jocelin Donahue, Richard Brake, Faizon Love, and Michael Abbott Jr.) who get stranded at a remote Nevada diner, and tensions begin to rise as not all of them have innocent intent.

‘The Fall Guy’ Review: Despite Big Stars and Bigger Stunts, Things Here Fall Flat

Sometimes having hot actors and a $130 million budget isn’t enough… “The Fall Guy” follows a career stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who sets out to locate the missing star of the movie he is shooting, which is being directed by his ex-girlfriend (Emily Blunt).

Much like heights, I don’t necessarily have a fear of spiders, but I do have a healthy respect of them… “Sting” follows a young girl (Alyla Browne) who finds an alien spider, only for it to begin to rapidly grow and begin to terrorize her family’s apartment complex. Ryan Corr, Penelope Mitchell, Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazelhurst, Silvia Colloca,…

‘Late Night with the Devil’ Review: A Moody, Chilly Slice of 70s Horror

David Dastmalchian deserves to be bigger star, hopefully he gets his own Cillian Murphy-type moment one day! “Late Night with the Devil” stars David Dastmalchian as a 1970s talk show host who on Halloween night brings on a clairvoyant, a skeptic, and a purportedly possessed girl in an attempt to boost ratings. Laura Gordon, Ian…
