At rock bottom, Harry must choose between facing what happened and forgiving himself and forever dwelling in his misery. The former means trying to move on from his beloved, while the latter has consequences for everyone in his life. Will meeting Anna (Alice Fforde) help Harry or make him further fall, reminding him of what he lost? Orchid Moon is lushly shot in black and white by Matt Kerins. The cinematography makes everything, from Harry’s flat to the bar he frequents, appear sullen, mimicking the lead’s emotional state....

Shortly thereafter, the Matchmaker (Neal McDonough) introduces Allison and Jason to Soul Mates. This intensive matchmaking service has a 100% success rate. The catch is the potential couple is put through hell to tear down their walls and bond over their shared trauma. The Get To Know You section, accompanied by the famed song from The King & I, is a speed round of five questions. But if the questions aren’t answered quickly enough, an innocent man will be ground to death by a wood chipper (or some similar machine)....

The picture is an adaptation of one of three children’s books by author Kirsten Boie published. Thabo (Litlhonolofatso Litlhakanyane) is an 11-year-old who lives in a small village where “nothing much happens.” The only change is the tourists who stay at the lodge run by Agatha (Andrea Sawatzki) to see animals on the reserve. Thabo’s Uncle Vusi (Nhlakanipho Manqele) works as a ranger to help protect the wildlife. The poaching of animals must be monitored, with rhinos being particularly popular because of their horns....

M.F. Wilson’s short film The Final Moments of Karl Brant is an engrossing sci-fi experience. Not only does it tackle the idea of living forever digitally in a Singularity-friendly fashion, it also posits that who and what we are is entirely based on our memories. If a soul exists, it must be borne of life experiences. Heady philosophical musings aside (you could have some fun with Nature vs. Nurture for a while too, among other things), the film is also a mystery, revealing its secrets with perfect timing....

The subject of “The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara” is usually cast as one of the villains of twentieth century history. Described as fully assured of his own brilliance and near infallibility, the former Secretary of Defense under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson is considered one of the chief architects of U.S. involvement in the Vietnamese civil war, which makes him largely responsible for the needless deaths of many hundreds of thousands, perhaps over a million, civilians and soldiers....

Very loosely based on the British spy mission, Operation Postmaster, England is on the verge of losing World War II to the Germans. The Nazi U-Boat was able to destroy ships and supplies from the United States, prompting the U.S. not to enter a losing war. The key to getting the Americans involved was to cripple the German U-boat fleet. The key to crippling the fleet is to destroy the supply ship now harbored in Fernando Po, the Spanish island off Africa now in the control of the Germans....

He dives into his backstory, explaining how his first crush died and what that unlocked in him. He moves forward with his tales of death and depravity as Alexis interjects here and there for clarification. Why did Joe choose Alexis to confess to? Is she in immediate danger, and if so, will she be able to escape?...

Vince Anderson felt a calling in his early adult life to be a minister and serve God. However, after a short three months in seminary, he dropped out and decided that maybe traditional pastoral ministry wasn’t the path for him. Sometime later, the flame was reignited when he saw a screening of Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. The film touched Vince in a profound way, and after some soul-searching and extended prayer sessions, he began to pursue music as his channel of spiritual outreach....

As the film opens up, Brian Dunning explains that although he is fascinated by UFOs, he wants to go into this film unbiased and will examine all evidence with science, and he does just that. Throughout the film, there are various pieces of evidence that Dunning looks at with the help of astrobiologists, astronomers, astrophysicists, retired US Air Force, and even Josh Carter, President Carter’s grandson. Every person interviewed gives their expertise about certain pieces of evidence and events, and all have quite interesting things to add....

Michael Gomez, Wade Spann, and Omar Hernandez each served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Omar was the son of undocumented immigrants, and during his second deployment in the Iraq war, he received what he wanted…U.S. citizenship. During his next deployment, Omas accompanied members of the new Iraq National Police force. While on patrol, his squad was attacked. He described how time slowed down for him and how his body felt heavy carrying the wounded bodies of an Iraqi officer....

In the 2014 film Sex Tape, married couple Jay (Jason Segal) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) work to bring the passion back into their marriage — but the plot thickens when they record a sex tape and accidentally share it on the cloud with everyone they know.

The Russ Meyer influence on “Deathbed” shines beyond question during a series of flashbacks of hapless victims, run through by the artist. Barry taps into Meyer’s playful, ‘anything goes—especially without clothes’ attitude and the effectiveness of narrating a plot and character’s intentions within just a few seconds. The bed enjoys its most satisfying meal thanks to a Barnum inspired opportunist couple, proffering the bed as ‘sexual rejuvenator’ to musty old men....

Paul is a thirty-something parking garage attendant who lives with his mom and LOVES the Giants (New York) enough to watch every home game from a portable TV set up in their parking lot. Every night he carefully drafts his comments for a late-night sports radio show that knows him as “Paul from Staten Island.” He sleeps with NFL bed sheets and wears his Giants jersey like a uniform. One night Paul spots his favorite player, Quantrell Bishop, and decides to follow him around New York, only to end with Quantrell beating the hell out of him....

What brought about the idea for Nothing So Strange? I was reading a lot about the assassinations of the 1960s and 70s and wondered what it would be like if we went through a period of history like that again. And it struck me that it might be interesting to do a movie about that–but with the target of the assassination more reflective of our times, with the growing gap between the rich and poor and the class resentment that situation has bred....

What about roulette? Black or red making you wonder exactly how much money you can stand to lose while imagining what you might gain? Go for it. At best you end up a little poorer, though wiser toward the game. It’s better than what Sébastien (George Babluani, the director’s brother) finds himself mired in while working on the roofing of the house of Jean-Francois, an aging dope addict (Philippe Passon) who dies from an overdose, leaving Sébastien high and dry without payment....

Andy (Davey Sullivan), Fleabag (Graham Feeley), Chains (Ollie Keogh) and Marcus (Andrew Neenan) are an Irish gang with seldom an intelligent thought between them. Needing money to pay off a debt, they set out to kidnap a rich man to settle their debts, and hopefully make some profit too. Outfitted with matching clown masks and jammed into a tiny car, the four set off to kidnap the unsuspecting Ravi (Biju Nair)....
