The Short History of The Long Road

By Kelly Asay

For teenage Nola (Sabrina Carpenter), home is the open road. Her self-reliant father (Steven Ogg) is her anchor in a life of transience. The pair crisscross the United States in a lovingly refurbished RV, relishing their independence and making ends meet by doing odd jobs. A shocking rupture, though, casts Nola out on her own. She makes her way to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in search of a mother she never knew. When her motorhome unexpectedly breaks down, she forges a bond with an auto body shop owner (Danny Trejo), and senses the possibility of mooring her ship in this storm. Has Machete finally found a good serious role?No Current Trailer

Beast Mode

By Kelly Asay

'Bad boy' actor Huckle Saxton lets fame get to his head and turns into a ferocious beast, ripping Hollywood to shreds. When Breen Nash accidentally kills his only client and meal ticket, he turns to an ancient herbal extract with the hope that it will resurrect both his client and his career, but soon learns this elixir brings out the worst in those who imbibe, turning them into bloodthirsty, shape-shifting beasts and leaving Breen no recourse but to stop the creatures himself before his own inner beast consumes him. Dr. Jekyll I presume?No Current Trailer

Train To Busan 2 : Peninsula

By Kelly Asay

Train to Busan, released in 2016, went on to become a massive hit in various countries around the world. It's said the budget of Peninsula is roughly $16 million, which is double what the original cost to produce. While it is being billed as a sequel, director Yeon Sang-ho cautions that it is not a continuation of what happened in Train to Busan, but it "happens in the same universe." The story of Peninsula is set four years after the events of the first movie. It centers on a former soldier who has managed to escape the devastated Korean peninsula. But he is given a mission to go back and surprisingly meets up with survivors. Zombie movies...I guess we still watch them.No Current Trailer
