Those who grew up watching FX-heavy seriocomic mainstream creature features of the 1980s and ’90s may enjoy the nostalgic fun had at their expense in “The Invisible Raptor.” Viewers resistant to a landslide of scatological humor, however, may find the laughs pretty slim in this overlong, uninspired monster spoof. Director Mike Hermosa’s indie feature is enterprisingly polished, but the weak material provided by Mike Capes and Johnny Wickham’s screenplay might’ve worked better boiled down to the length of a “Funny or Die” short. After a run of genre festival gigs, it’s being launched by Well Go USA on limited screens and digital platforms Dec. 6.

At Tyler Corporation, a high-security lab holds top-secret results of genetic engineering: the titular velociraptor, which cannot be seen … or trusted. Developed for a murky “weaponization program,” it has brains as well as brawn, enough to outsmart the technicians present and...

Superheroes have been a part of our lives for a very long time through various movies, comics, and TV shows and we all love them for various reasons sometimes they give us hope, they inspire us, or sometimes they just distract us from our real-life problems.

"You're not going anywhere in this stolen van!" 1091 Pictures has revealed the trailer for an indie coming-of-age comedy titled Paulie Go!, arriving on VOD later this month to watch. The film is premiering at the upcoming 2022 Minneapolis–Saint Paul Film Festival, just before it opens. A young AI prodigy gets rejected from a world-renowned robotics lab and does what any rational teenager would do - steal a van and drive across the country to Northern Minnesota to track down the Professor who rejected him. Along the way he meets a girl named Avery, an expert angler who joins him on his journey up the rivers. The film stars Ethan Dizon as Paulie, who made his debut in the director's very first feature 4th Man Out. The cast also includes Madison Wolfe, Bernard White, David Theune, Corinne Chooey, and Tracie Thoms. This looks a bit too over-the-top kooky in a few scenes,...

It’s hard to imagine that the ideal audience for the cringe-inducing French romantic comedy “I Love America” will reject its pat life lessons and hacky jokes, partly because Sophie Marceau, playing a single Frenchwoman living and looking for love in Los Angeles, tends to be a more compelling performer than anything that her character does or says on-screen.

“I Love America” also bats at the sort of low-hanging fruit that, given the right mood, could be of interest to anyone who enjoys watching cornball romantic comedies or even the embarrassing but compulsively watchable “And Just Like That…” revival.

Director Lisa Azuelos (the French comedy “Lol”) and her co-writer Gaël Fierro didn’t overexert themselves as far as their tired jokes about underwhelming dating-app encounters and L.A. pretensions. But Marceau and her co-stars are all front-lit to the point where they look immaculately airbrushed, and the formulaic plot and...

In one recent Stanley Steemer commercial, a carpet cleaner, played by David Theune, earnestly recounts how "awesome" it was to clean up after an alpaca. In another, he urges an intimidated customer not to "coddle" the newly shined floor "like a young Theodore Roosevelt." But perhaps the most vivid one features him sobbing over a rug that has been dumped at the side of the road. "I could have saved this one," he says, before throwing his arms up in futility and despair. Theune has taken goofy-creepy to new heights. He's turned it into an art form.The actor says he had a wonderful time doing these spots. So far, 13 have been shot, five this year and eight last year, with each series of ads taking three days to complete. Though they are scripted, Theune was given lots of leeway in trying out comic ideas. "It was the first commercial.
