The Bearded Trio

KIN Starring Jack Reynor,  Zoë Kravitz, Carrie Coon, Dennis Quaid,  Myles Truitt  and James Franco Based on Bag Man by Jonathan & Josh Baker Screenplay by Daniel Casey Directed Jonathan & Josh Baker Reviewed by Patrick Gibbs and Paul Gibbs   Out of Four If you've seen the trailers for Kin , you may have detected a bit of an '80's Amblin vibe. We certainly did, and the prominent mention of Stranger Things on the advertising only adds to that expectation. The story follows a young boy, Eli (Myles Truitt) who lives alone with his adoptive father (Dennis Quaid.). Eli likes to scrounge for scrap metal, and one fateful day he scores his biggest find yet when he climbs a fence and finds a bunch of dead bikers who look like they are going to a costume party with a "What We Thought The Future Would Look in the early '80's" theme. He also finds what appears to some sort of strange hybrid between a giant sized staple gun and a laser tag

DIAL M FOR MURDER - KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN Music Composed by DIMITRI TIOMKIN Conducted by WILLIAM T. STROMBERG Alfred Hitchcock's decade-spanning career involved many top composers, resulting in some of the finest film music composed for the cinema. Many recordings of the earlier works haven't survived, making it impossible to enjoy them outside of their films. Intrada is embarking on a mission to record some of these scores, and you are instrumental in making this happen. The initial recording is composer Dimitri Tiomkin's final collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, the 1954 thriller Dial M for Murder. Intrada chose this title because of Tiomkin's striking score. It accentuates an elegant thriller and features the knock-out star power of Ray Milland, Robert Cummings, John Williams and Grace Kelly (her first of four productions with Hitchcock, and whose introduction to the director was facilitated by Tiomkin). Your support for this recording not only helps make this

BLACKKKLANSMAN John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace Based on Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth Screenplay by Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Wilmott and Spike Lee Directed by Spike Lee Reviewed by Patrick Gibbs and Paul Gibbs   Out of Four We're a little late in reviewing this one due to a brief hiatus, but we couldn't possibly let it go by without giving our strongest recommendation. In 1972, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is hired as the first black detective in the Colorado Springs  police department. Stallworth is initially assigned to work in the records room, where he faces mistreatment from his coworkers. Stallworth requests to transfer to go undercover, and is assigned to a local rally by national civil rights leader, Kwame Ture (Corey Hawkins of 24: Legacy and Kong: Skull Island ), who has taken the name of African leaders.

RAVENWOLF TOWERS Music Composed by RICHARD BAND INTRADA ISC 413 Intrada's latest release by composer Richard Band features his score to the 2016 webseries Ravenwolf Towers. In this series produced by Charles Band and released through Full Moon, most of the characters, save the two leads, had been introduced in previous Full Moon films, many of which had been scored by Band. As a result, he was able to leverage previous themes and motifs for these characters, while creating new themes for the characters of Jake and Mary. Romantically sad and beautiful, it captured the mysterious and uncertain destiny of their relationship, where of course the viewer knows more than the characters. The score portrays a sense of dignity for the old Towers, with an inherent sense of the enigmas that lie within. It's Richard Band doing what Richard Band does best, and who couldn't use a healthy dose of that in the few weeks leading up to October and Halloween festivities. The legendary Raven

ALPHA Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Leonor Varela, Jens Hultén, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson and introuducing Chuck as Alpha Story by Albert Hughes Screenplay by Daniele Sebastian Wiedenhaupt Directed by Albert Hughes Reviewed by Patrick Gibbs  Out of Four The 1993 teen hood drama Menace II Society was the debut film of Allen and Albert Hughes, a pair of very young directors who also happened to be twins. The talented duo made their last film together in 2010, with the bizarre guilty pleasure Book of Eli . After that, they went their separate ways, and Allen made his solo debut with 2013's Mark Wahlberg-Russell Crowe melodrama Broken City , a film that inspired such bored indifference from critics and audiences alike that even now as I write this sentence, I am not watching it. Now it's Albert turn at bat, and while he is unlikely to score a home run at the box office, he follows through with a confidence and grace that establishes him as skilled auteur who, along
