Hudson Valley Are In The ‘Right Place Now’ With Catchy New Single
Country group Hudson Valley’s new single “Right Place Now” is as catchy as can be, and I’m keeping that song’s infectious energy as I write this quick little post.

Review: Jenny Slate Shines In Brisk And Evocative ‘The Sunlit Night’
Jenny Slate’s abilities as a lead actress were confirmed in 2014’s Obvious Child, and that holds true with The Sunlit Night. Based on Rebecca Dinerstein Knight’s novel (and also adapted into the screenplay by the author), The Sunlit Night is a coming of age dramedy that, at 82 minutes, is short, sweet, and to the point. I loved its brevity and balance between the lighter and darker moments, and fans of Slate should gravitate to the film.

‘The Painted Bird’ Review: Black And White Tale Is Unrelenting To Its Core
Based on Jerzy Kosinski’s novel, The Painted Bird is nearly three hours of brutal and unforgiving events experienced by a young boy (Peter Kotlár) who is struggling his best to survive in the closing days of World War II. Shot on 35mm, this black and white epic is a visual feast for the eyes, but some viewers will be turned off by its unrelenting violence and degradation.
Trailer: Cosmo Jarvis And Barry Keoghan Are Enveloped In ‘The Shadow of Violence’
Any movie that stars Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) has my attention, so The Shadow of Violence is a ruthless looking feature that I’m putting on my radar. Check out the post for the trailer, images, and poster!
