For a certain subset of ’90s girls, “Are you a Kristy or a Claudia?” was the original (and completely G-rated) version of “Are you a Carrie or a Samantha?” As each book of Ann M. Martin’s “Baby-Sitters Club” series focused on a different member of the club — from determined president Kristy to artsy VP Claudia to shy secretary Mary-Anne — it let readers take a peek into a tween life that could, perhaps, reflect their own. The books are straightforward and heartfelt, telling stories of smart and ambitious girls on the precipice of growing up that take great care not to condescend to them (like some of the grown-ups in their lives do by default).

Maybe that’s why, halfway through the first episode of Netflix’s “The Baby-Sitters Club” adaptation, I realized I’d been steeling myself for the moment that this modern reboot of a children’s property would turn dark and sexy,...

"That little girl, is at the center of it... because she's special." Screen Media Films has debuted the first official trailer for a new indie action film titled Stray, the feature debut of filmmaker Joe Sill, featuring a screenplay co-written by filmmaker J.D. Dillard. The thriller is about an orphaned teenager who forms an unlikely friendship with a detective. Together they investigate her mother's murder, and uncover the supernatural force she possesses that proves to be a threat to her family. Starring Karen Fukuhara as Nori, along with Japanese Pop Star Miyavi, Christine Woods, Ross Partridge, Takayo Fischer, and Kiran Deol. I like the look of this, and this trailer has some cool reveals in it. Worth a look. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Joe Sill's Stray, direct from YouTube: An orphaned teenager teams up with the detective investigating her mother’s murder. They soon discover a...

An all star cast of veteran actors including Rip Taylor (The Gong Show) & Martin Cove (The Karate Kid) come together for the side splitting horror of "Hotel Arthritis" (originally titled "The Old Folks Home"), directed by actor Jason Lockhart (Vampire Boys) in his directorial debut.

Somebody is killing old people. The weapon of choice: a secret. They are being offed by a masked killer who stalks the halls of the small retirement community in which they live. The story opens with a terrifying murder, creating space on the waiting list for Rose to move in. Upon Rose’s arrival, she is taken on a tour of the grounds by the quirky, offbeat manager: Dale. The odd and brightly colored characters continue to pop up as Fanny, her Jewish gossiping neighbor, introduces Rose to “the gang.” The routine of daily life is all stirred up at the moment. People are disappearing,...

The Money Ball Trailer has premiered. Bennett Miller‘s Money Ball (2011) movie trailer stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Chris Pratt, and Robin Wright. Money Ball‘s plot synopsis: “The story centers on Billy Beane and his arrival as Oakland’s general manager. Through analysis and a new, nontraditional sabermetric approach to scouting players, Beane attempts to create a more competitive baseball team, although Oakland’s revenue system is a major disadvantage to the team.”

This looks good. Solid underdog story like Friday Night Lights or The Bad News Bears. Definitely counter-programming to all of the big budget, explosion films on the screen this summer.

This is the same adaptation that Steven Soderbergh was working on before getting kicked off…The screenplay was written/rewritten by Oscar winning writers Steven Zaillian (Clear and Present Danger, Gangs of New York, American Gangster) and Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men,...
