Like many fans, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and Split sequel Glass, and it’s finally here! James McAvoy‘s character Kevin who has more than two dozen personalities including the Beast who kidnapped Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy) in Split, appears to be the instrument that Mr. Glass will use to cause chaos.

On July 19th Robert D. Krzykowski‘s The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the BigFoot premiered at the acclaimed 2018 Fantasia International Film Festival. I had the pleasure of seeing this intense film that is filled with suspense, emotion, and action. The film opens with Billy Squire’s “Lonely is the Night” playing on an old jukebox. As the camera pans around we see a man sitting on a bar stool alone with only his drink to keep him company. That man is none other than Mr. Sam Elliot as our silver-haired central character, Calvin Barr.

Suddenly Calvin snaps back to the present where the bartender
