Movie Review: Run Sweetheart Run

Movie Review: Run Sweetheart Run

Once in a while, I stumble across a movie that is more than just blood and guts and jump scares, one that goes deeper, one that’s not just about entertainment, but that has something to say. That’s the case with writer-director Shana Feste’s Run Sweetheart Run. I want to talk about it. But don’t worry, there won’t be any major spoilers shared here. The plot given in press releases goes like this: “Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meets with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie (Ella Balinska) is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life, beginning a relentless game of cat-and-mouse with a blood-thirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction. In this edge-of-your-seat dark

Liam Hemsworth Replacing Henry Cavill For Season 4 Of “The Witcher”

Toss a coin to your new Witcher… Liam Hemsworth. Yeap, you read that right. Henry Cavill announced on Instagram that he will be “laying down my medallion and my swords” and leaving Netflix’s hit fantasy series “The Witcher” after its upcoming third season. Stepping into the role of the monster hunter for season four, which is already green-lit, is Liam Hemsworth. “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures,” Cavill wrote in his post. “In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.” He continued, “Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him. Enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.” “As a Witcher fan, I’m over

Watch The Short Horror Film ‘It’s Not Real’ That Scared The “%#/[” Out Of Danny DeVito

Just in time for Halloween, we would like to present the chilling 8-minute horror short film It’s Not Real, directed by Tina Carbone. Starring Lucy DeVito (“Little Demon”), “It’s Not Real tells a frightening tale of a woman living alone—but perhaps not as alone as she thinks—and trying to figure out whether the creepy incidents in her creaky old apartment are happening. It is inspired by true events experienced by Carbone herself in her 1920s-era Los Angeles apartment.” Carbone is an experienced producer (the upcoming The Secret Art of Human Flight, starring Oscar nominee Paul Raci) and production manager (Jim Cummings’ well-received thriller TheBeta Test), making her return to solo directing after six years. The film is eerily lensed by DP Markus Mentzer (Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave), with evocative sound design from H.P. Mendoza (The Secret Art of Human Flight). It was written and produced by Carbone and Patrick T. Dorsey. It’s Not Real is an Ersatz Film

Game Review: 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II'

Game Review: ‘Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II’

Fans of the Call of Duty game series were either dreading or looking forward to the latest installment in the franchise, the remake of the 2009 Modern Warfare 2. I’ll admit it’s been a LONG time since I’ve played COD, the last being Black Ops 3, which made me put the controller down on the series as I felt the series was focusing more on online multiplayer fanservicing than single-player campaigns. So, has the series redeemed itself in my eyes? Let’s check out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. I would like to thank Infinity Ward and Treyarch for the reviewing opportunity. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II picks up where the 2019 game left off and follows Taskforce 141, a multi-national special operations group made up of the SAS, CIA, Mexican Special Forces, Russian and American PMCs, and freedom fighters from the fictional country of Urzikstan. 141 is up against an Iranian Quds Force Major seeking vengeance for the
