Sadly, the title could also refer to the series itself, we don’t need another Police Story, especially when there’s sadly no life left in the franchise.

Of the dozens of shorts screened at this year's San Antonio Film Festival, some really stood out in terms of execution, creative vision, and dramatic heft.

As Adam travels across England towards a family reunion he dreads, the film slowly and almost furtively reveals the traumatic backstory of the agricultural disaster that struck his family years before and its tragic repercussions.

Shot mostly in Austin, 'The Doo Dah Man' centers on a silver-tongued prison escapee and and a young man trying to escape his unhappy home who form an unlikely alliance on the byways of Texas.

Another startling physical transformation from star Jake Gyllenhaal is not enough to save this risibly clichéd slugfest.

Writer/director David Zucker, actor Sean Young and stuntman Corey Eubanks are scheduled to appear at the 21st edition of the ever-expanding San Antonio, Texas Film Festival.

"Kung Fu Killer" is a good time to be had by anyone who picks up a copy.

What would you do if you were given authority over others and no one was monitoring your actions? Would you apply the golden rule? Of course you would, unless you had a hidden axe to grind and more power than you ever imagined you could have. Such is the case when a simulated prison experiment becomes a runaway train and no one seems to be at the controls which happened at Stanford University in 1971.

Ancient Greek philosopher Plato put in a couple of appearances at the Anthem Film Festival in Las Vegas, July 8-11. Two of the short films showed influence, if not direct inspiration, by Plato's tale of the cave, written 2,500 years ago. The films, 'The Cage' and 'Helio' both deserve praise for supporting the human quest for freedom and individualism. Cinematically, 'Helio' was a winner and 'The Cage' was not.

Never tries to outdo the original film, but simply found a way to continue the tale of a terrorized town.
