"A Line in the Sand" is a drama that tells the story of Banzai, a homeless and wondering man with a tortured past. After being booked by cops over a petty crime, the film's plot begins to slowly unravel as you begin to learn more about Banzai and the circumstances that got him to where he is.

Played by Jon Bernthal, watching Banzai's grip on reality slowly loosen throughout the film is a real treat, especially once the revelations of his past come to light from the perspectives of the case detectives who have detained him. Led by hard-nosed actor Bruce McGill, who also gives an awesome performance in this engrossing drama, the trio of cops in the movie add a smart and sophisticated edge to the film's world, adding a legitimate layer of intelligence and believably. This film is definitely worth a watch if you're into any kind of cop drama, as the performances and story don't disappoint!

Mixing in the current trend of home invasion with elements of horror, "Bad vs Worse" tells the exploits of three amateur robbers getting in a situation that, as the title implies, goes from "bad" to "worse."

When the trio finds themselves in the house of a serial killer by accident, things quickly speedup to all the blood and nightmare inducing antics you would expect from a genre horror film such as this; knives, chainsaws, torture, etc, it's all here. In this way, the film pulls an interesting reversal of having the "predators" in the form of the robbers, become the "prey" when compared to their serial killing overlord.

Ultimately, I can see fans of shows like "Dexter" or "Saw" liking an indie horror flick such as this. The film was definitely made on a budget, but fans of the genre will find something to like in this piece.

"The Man from Orlando" stars a talented and young group of upcoming actors in a "dramedy" that is at times both edgy and hilarious. The team of actors (including Sam Edison of "Zero Charisma" fame) have great chemistry together it's fun to watch the situations and dilemmas these characters get themselves into in this film. Often in an indie film, the acting can be a difficult hurdle to overcome, but thankfully the ensemble effort of the actors involved helps to elevate this film above a lot of its indie competition.

Following the story of Orlando, a man who is trying to escape the deeds of his past, "The Man from Orlando" is an interesting display of rising talent that will be talked about for awhile.
