“To Kill a Wolf” (2024) marks Kelsey Taylor’s feature directorial debut, but it comes from such an assured creative place that it’s hard to believe it’s only her first. The film is essentially a retelling of a familiar tale. As the logline suggests, it reimagines Little Red Riding Hood in a modern setting. Despite being adapted and retold across many decades, the story has often centered on a deceiver who can put on a fake appearance to feign kindness or innocence — and their victim, seeking redemption.

Taylor’s film turns that premise into a tale of quiet resilience. It is also about someone seeking safety and comfort while recovering from the blow of a brutal emotional trauma. The script doesn’t lay out all its details at once but gradually reveals them. Initially, we meet a middle-aged man (Ivan Martin), dubbed the Woodsman, going about his daily routine in the wild.

An interesting project titled Sitra Achra has popped up on our radar this afternoon, with the project set to not only give us a feature film but also a video game companion piece.

The press release for the unique project teases, “Audiences can discover the game’s secrets for their own when Sitra Achra [the other side] the video game is released alongside the movie. Sitra Achra the video game is being developed by Salt + Pixel.”

In the film, “Retro game collector Andrew Goldstein believes he’s discovered the holy grail of videogames, a prototype cartridge for Sitra Achra [the other side] that mysteriously disappeared alongside its creator in 1985. Andrew grows obsessed with beating Sitra Achra… but the game will not give up its secrets without a fight.”

Levi Buchanan wrote and directed Sitra Achra. Watch the trailer below.

Darius Pierce (Pig), Jonn Schinderle (“Dark Jeans”), Angela Chandra (My Ghoulfriend), David Knell (Pig), and Nathan Barnatt star in the upcoming film.

Nicolas Cage has appeared in dozens of movies of varying critical reception over the years, but his latest movie Pig has risen above the rest as his highest-rated live-action movie on Rotten Tomatoes. With a 97% Certified Fresh score, Pig has topped Red Rock West at 95%, Moonstruck at 94%, and Face/Off at 92%. The 97% score is tied with the animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which featured Cage as the voice of Spider-Man Noir.

This is certainly great news for Nicolas Cage, who has developed a bit of a reputation for accepting all roles thrown his way, for better or for worse. He has previously starred in universally panned movies with 0% rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes, like Deadfall and Grand Isle. Titles like The Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous, and Arsenal didn't fare much better. Perhaps this just goes to show that Cage is indeed a fantastic actor, he just needs the right material to work with.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on the new release “Pig,” a Michael Sardoski film featuring Nicholas Cage. Available through Video-On-Demand beginning on August 3rd. .

Rating: 4.5/5.0

Nicolas Cage portrays a mountain man named Rob in remote Oregon, and has a pet pig that hunts what he sells for a living, truffles. That probably would be the story, until the pig is shockingly stolen. So Rob goes back to the city he used to live in, Portland, expecting help from his truffle buyer Amir (Alex Wolff) and Amir’s father Darius (Adam Arkin). What he doesn’t expect is a coming-of-terms with a former life.

”Pig” is available through Video-On-Demand beginning August 3rd. Featuring Nicholas Cage, Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin, David Knell and Cassandra Violet, Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski. Rated “R”
