They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever…Also starring Nick Jonas, Bobby Cannavale, and directed by Jake Kasdan. In theater just in time for the holidays, in 3D and Real D 3D.
I enjoy quirky films, some can turn out fantastic and some not. Suburbicon, worked for me most of the time, it’s an interesting juxtaposion of two stories taking place in a neighborhood of the late 1950s.
It’s well made and has some really good performances by the young Noah Jupe and Oscar Isaac. Directed by George Clooney who also wrote it with Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, and Grant Heslov.
The plot: Suburbicon is a peaceful, idyllic, suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns—the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that. But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit and violence.
Starring Julianne Moore, Tony Espinosa, Glenn Fleshler, Jack Conley, Gary Basaraba, and Alex Hassell.
I felt it suffered a little in the last 30mns but it still was an entertaining movie. Not a movie for everyone but fans of the Coen brothers and George Clooney directing will enjoy it.
“She can feel it. In the air. In the walls. The spirit has a power Sarah Winchester has not seen before and it has found them.”
Inspired by true events. On an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco sits the most haunted house in the world. Built by Sarah Winchester, (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) heiress to the Winchester fortune, it is a house that knows no end. Constructed in an incessant twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week mania for decades, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To the outsider it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman’s madness. But Sarah is not building for herself, for her niece (Sarah Snook) or for the brilliant Doctor Eric Price (Jason Clarke) whom she has summoned to the house. She is building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts, and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters…
The cast also includes Angus Sampson, Finn Scicluna-O’Prey and directed by the Spierig brothers.

Lowlife is a new indie film–a strange, street-smart, and brutal thriller with a Tarantino quirkiness and a Soderbergh multi-story structure–that’s making its mark in U.S. and Canadian film festivals this fall…and SeFijaOnline had a chance to sit down and talk about the making and success of Lowlife with one of its stars.
Ricardo Adam Zarate as El Monstruo and Dempsey as Kaylee
Santana Dempsey, who plays Kaylee, a pregnant, desperate heroin addict who–along with Nicki Micheaux’ Crystal and Mark Burnhan’s Teddy Bear Haynes–set a story of kidnapping, organ theft, sex trafficking and murder into motion…along with a startling and memorable cast of characters that includes a likable ex-con with swastika tattoo that covers his face, a homicidal Luchador wrestler/enforcer who never takes off his mask, and a fake ICE agent who loses a hand and keeps on fighting.
Santana is a key player in Lowlife, who’s been seen in films like Megachurch Murder and French Dirty, as well as episodes of The Newsroom, Kingdom, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and many others. In this interview, she talks about the challenges of her role, how she became part of the project, and the slightly amazing response to it that’s already turning it into a bit of a modern cult classic.
Lowlife, directed by Ryan Prows and written by a five-man team of Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson, Shaye Ogobonna, Maxwell Michael Towson and director Prows, has just found a distributor. We’ll let you know when and where you can see it as soon as the news is released.
Based on the book Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton. 12 Strong tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban.
