Detective Trochinowska is no stranger to coverups or corruption. Her husband was murdered by The River of Life along with 49 other people, and yet the story the public was told was that they all survived.

The key to Green’s success also creates part of his flaw. He’s shows confidence in his students by demanding the best from them, and when he gives them a challenging part, they think that means they can play it and practice more to get it down. He teaches the kids incredibly difficult music, including some of the most difficult material from Frank Zappa’s catalogue to his advanced students. However, this form of encouragement doesn’t result in sunny optimism, but in him shouting obscenities at the kids to let them know they suck when they screw up....
The camera’s slow movement as it explores the confined space, in addition to the foreboding sound design, is reminiscent of a horror movie.

Shot over a five-year period, “So Much So Fast” is particularly heartbreaking as it details Stephen’s physical deterioration – his intellect and spirit do not deteriorate in the process....
Bob Hoskins really covers new ground here. Based on past tough guy roles, it seems like he’s often perceived as a… ^ A “brute”? (Laughter) Yes. Were there things you asked of him, to convey the more elegant, refined image of theater manager Vivian Van Damm? ^ Well you see, he lost a bit of weight, and he spoke properly (laughter). Things like that. He’s an actor. He has done those other kinds of parts, and wanted something different....

The film presents the viewer with three distinct arguments for the preservation of these graveyards: Leave aside all conversations we’ve had in the United States lately about white privilege or systemic racism and look at these gravesites from a strictly academic perspective.

Randal Kamradt’s feature film, Faraway, finds itself straddling a number of disparate tones, which can make for a sometimes off-putting, though interesting, mix. Sometimes the film seems like a whimsical adventure for young adults, with the more dangerous elements just being part of what makes it exciting, like how it is handled in, say, The Goonies (if the kids get caught, the Fratellis could wind up hurting them, but you’re never really that concerned that they’ll come to harm)....
