A small-town pastor is forced to reckon with an act of forgiveness when the convict he forgave for murdering his wife returns to town five years later and comes to work for him, much to the anger of the preacher’s son. Meanwhile, the town sheriff investigates another murder that may be related.

Opening with Cress Williams’ preacher, Marshall, washing blood off his hands in a convenience store sets the stage for the mysteries of What Remains, even though the focus of the film is really the relationship between Williams’ preacher and his son (Marcus Gladney Jr.) – both of whom are struggling with the loss of a wife and mother. And the latter who can’t seem to be...

“What Remains,” a murder mystery and thriller that stars Kellan Lutz and Cress Williams, has sold domestic distribution rights to Gravitas Ventures.

“What Remains” follows a recently paroled convict (Lutz), who returns to the small town where he murdered the wife of the town’s pastor (Williams). That forces the pastor to reconcile his pain and anger with forgiveness,...

Do I like Acid Test? The movie, that is: not the flying without wings (or plane or any other visible means of support) hippy dippy teen rebellion sort of trip that lies at the heart of this story. Good question and one I am supposed to answer when I eventually come back down to Earth.

Though tis a difficult one: to like or not to like, as Hamlet, a constant presence in this film, might have tweeted had he happened today.

On the one hand, this is a seriously neat and tidy, well-made, incisive look at a soon-to-be-18 teen going off the rails. Or being tested. Jenny (Juliana DeStefano) is what I believe is known in the USA as an “A-student”. She sails through her work at the expensive private school for which her father (Brian Thornton) works hard to pay. She is destined for Harvard.

Then all goes to pot.

[Note: With the film out now on DVD in the UK, here’s a reposting of our review of Asteroid-a-Geddon from its US streaming debut last year]

A global scientific summit debates and fails on a plan to stop a massive asteroid heading straight for Earth, with all countries blaming each other for the impeding disaster. With communications tense, the daughter of a tech billionaire assembles her own team of specialists to try to destroy the asteroid before it is too late.

The Asylum are back with yet another disaster movie, Asteroid-a-Geddon, only this one has a surprisingly on-point political undertone to it’s over-the-top end of the earth plot! You see we get military leaders who’d rather play politics than actually do anything about the oncoming disaster. They argue with...

"When you're a superhero, sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for..." Gravitas has revealed an official trailer for an indie drama My True Fairytale, marking the feature directorial debut of D. Mitry. The short synopsis sets this up quite well: Angie Goodwin runs away after a horrific car crash to make her dream of becoming a superhero come true. The other synopsis says after the crash, Angie "decides to fulfill her childhood fantasy and embarks on a mysterious journey." Her recovery process is very strange. Starring Emma Kennedy as Angie, Darri Ingolfsson, Corin Nemec, Taylor Cole, Alyshia Ochse, Arnold Chun, Hector Hugo, Morgan Lindholm, Bj Mitchell, Juliana Destefano, and Mark Daugherty. This looks quite odd, not exactly as the description explains, but it might still be a worthwhile story to tell. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for D. Mitry's My True Fairytale, direct from YouTube: Angie Goodwin,...
