I love a good documentary. A well made documentary,whatever the subject can draw you in and captivate you perhaps more than any other genre of movie. I don’t have to be interested in the topic to be interested in the documentary about it. But when I am, it becomes even more an interesting watch.
Somewhere In The Middle centers on five people. Five artists, who aren’t earning millions through their artistic life but they also aren’t one of the millions who gave up because they aren’t making all that money. These five people are ‘somewhere in the middle’.
One of the reasons this doc works so well is that the five people are super likeable. Just nice, normal and relatable people. There’s the painter – Dan McCaw,...

While a significant amount of focus has been dedicated to successful artists that headline concerts, movies, and art galleries, Nathan Ives’ new documentary “Somewhere in the Middle” focuses on the trials and tribulations of working artists. Featuring interviews with five artists, across different mediums, Ives intercuts between his subjects as they discuss everything from the call to create, to the problems that arise when art and commerce fail to reap the monetary awards that are needed for survival.

Actress Mischa Barton, once beloved on TV’s The O.C., became something of a cause célèbre as her star fell following a number of personal problems - in much the same way as Lindsay Lohan did following her meteoric rise to fame – has recently carved out solid career in independent genre cinema after falling out of favour with the Hollywood mainstream. In fact, starting with her lead role in 2009′s Walled In, Barton has become something of a staple of indie horror: this year alone she’s credited as appearing in four horror films including this, her latest, The Basement - which has one hell of an intriguing premise…...

The season we’ve all been patiently waiting for is nearly upon us, dear readers: fall! With Labor Day right around the corner, it’s only a matter of time until the days get much shorter, the leaves change colors, and the spooky season kicks off, and this autumn, we have one helluva great lineup of horror and sci-fi (as well as a few genre-adjacent) movies coming out that should keep everyone more than busy.

Check out this scary trailer:
Mischa Barton stars in a unique new horror film from Brian M.Conley and Nathan Ives, premiering on digital from 9/14 from Uncork’d Entertainment.
Craig is abducted and wakes up in a basement. His captor, Bill, is a twisted serial killer who wishes to reenact his own capture, with Craig playing the part of Bill and Bill playing everyone else. As Bill tortures Craig, he cycles through a number of personas, all while Craig tries desperately to find a way into Bill’s pathology in order to save himself.
Featuring “stellar lead performances” (Dread Central) from the cast – which also includes Jackson Davis, Cayleb Long, Tracie Thoms, Bailey Anne Borders and Sarah Nicklin – The Basement is ripe for exploring this fall.

Cast: Mischa Barton, Tracie Thoms, Jackson Davis, Bailey Anne Borders and Kareem J. Grimes. The Basement is a co-directed film from Brian M. Conley and Nathan Ives.

Yes, it is a basement of course. The film also offers a number of villains, one is particularly interesting with his many personalities. Even the late reveal of character motivations is well done; one character is especially devious. All...

Man Overboard
Starring Matthew Kaminsky, Mel Fair, Floyd Van Buskirk, and Jeffry Stein
Directed by Oliver Robins
Not Rated
Man Overboard is a comedy seemingly about a lot of things – family, business, money, friends, and questioning all of them – but ultimately, when you step away from the film, it’s one idea that sticks with you: There’s a reward in doing the right thing when the wrong thing might be the easier option.
It is a comedy with a moral, and sometimes those movies fall on their faces. A comedy is supposed to make you laugh, first and foremost, and if it fails to do that, it doesn’t much matter what else the movie has going for it.
Where a lot of movies in this genre make their biggest mistake is in focusing on just the jokes. When these jokes can’t be strung together by substance, not...
