DVD Review: Faith Based ‘100 Yards’ Finds Football In The Philippines
Being part Filipino, I’m going to have a natural bias for movies that deal with my heritage. Although the DVD cover art for 100 Yards accurately shows a quarterback (Steven Brewis) facing the bright lights, did you know this faith based film is set in the Philippines. It’s an interesting film, and spend a few minutes to see why 100 Yards may be worth checking out.

The Gunns Are Back In Town In “Super” Sized ‘Brightburn’ Trailer
I really loved director/writer James Gunn’s (Guardians of the Galaxy) take on the vigilante superhero universe with Super, and now he’s bringing his family into the mix with Brightburn. While Super was an inspired (and heartbreaking) riff on Batman, Brightburn takes on the Superman myth head on, and the trailer is absolutely fantastic.
