Watch: Visit a Flooded Kolkata in Animated Short 'Wade' from India

Here's a unique short film from India that we're glad to post on FS made by an animation studio known as Ghost Animation. "A climate change horror story" is the film's simple tagline. Wade is a mesmerizing 15-minute animated short film that is now available to watch online. This initially premiered in 2019 and it played at the 2020 Annecy Film Festival, as well as numerous other fests worldwide recently. In an alternate "post-apocalyptic" version of Kolkata, India, rendered unbearable due to the rising sea level, things take a dark turn when a family of climate change refugees are ambushed by a pack of tigers on the flooded streets. It is described as "an award-winning post-apocalyptic action animated short that grapples with what the world will look like in the wake of climate change." There's so many interesting creative decisions with this short - not only in regards to the climate change storytelling focusing on this kind of bleak future, but other tiny details like making the eyes so big and white, and drawing such humongous tigers. Check it out below. ›››

Official US Trailer for Ukrainian Doc 'The Earth is Blue as an Orange'

"A remarkable documentary about this family's resilience and cinema's ability to be a means of escape." Film Movement has revealed an official US trailer for a documentary film titled The Earth is Blue as an Orange, made by the Ukrainian filmmaker Iryna Tsilyk. This was shot and made entirely before the current war in Ukraine, focusing on one family living in Eastern Ukraine in a region that was already occupied a few years earlier. Krasnohorivka: a town on the front lines. A single mother Anna and her four children are managing to keep their home as a safe haven, full of life and full of light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema, it feels natural for them to shoot a film during this time. The creative process questions what kind of impact cinema might have during times of disaster, and how to picture war through a camera. For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human. This premiered at Sundance 2020 and played at Hot Docs, Berlinale, MoMA, and lots of fests. It's worth a watch. ›››

Tahar Rahim & Virginie Efira in 'Don Juan' Trailer - Playing in Cannes

"What remains of his loves, what remains of his good days?" MK2 and ARP Sélection have revealed the first official trailer for Don Juan, a new French film from actor / filmmaker Serge Bozon. It is premiering at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in the main Cannes Première section, as a centerpiece highlight of the fest even though it's not in competition. Not to be confused with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's other Don Jon film from 2013 (which is really worth a watch). Tahar Rahim (a Cannes regular) stars Laurent, who is jilted on his wedding day and subsequently embarks upon a wild quest for pleasure. However, none are lured by his singing. All the while, he is preparing to star in a play where they end up casting his ex-fiancée in the role opposite of him. Also co-starring Virginie Efira and Alain Chamfort. It looks like Efira also plays all the other women he tries to seduce. This looks sweet! Might be worth a watch following its unveiling in Cannes. ›››

Mike Colter Tries to Clean the Coast in 'I'm Charlie Walker' Film Trailer

"Get that damn oil off the beach." Shout Factory has revealed an official trailer for an indie drama titled I'm Charlie Walker, based on a true story. This hasn't hit any festivals yet, and will be playing this summer to watch. The film tells true story of how one desperate man, armed with only his charm and wits, takes on a racist San Francisco corporation in 1971. Mike Colter stars as Charlie Walker, who runs a small construction and trucking business. When two oil tankers collide off of the coast, unleashing millions of gallons of oil and spawning an immense environmental disaster, he tries his best to help clean up the coastline. The film also stars Dylan Baker, Safiya Fredericks, Mark Leslie Ford, Monica Barbaro, Steven Wiig, Emma Caulfield Ford, and Carl Lumbly. This definitely looks like a low budget film, but they made the most of it anyway and let Colter rock this with a badass performance. It seems like a good story from the 70s to tell. ›››

Watch: Incredible Fan-Made Animated 'Fellowship of the Ring' Short

It's time to journey back to Middle-Earth again. This is an exceptional animated film made by an animator / filmmaker named Eddie Sharam. He decided to challenge himself by creating an animated version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring, and pack the entire story into 2 & 1/2 minutes. Not only does he pull it off, without any dialogue (which is a massive achievement in its own right), all of the animation is stunning, too. Everyone knows the classic Rankin/Bass animated version of The Hobbit/LOTR, which is the only other official Hobbit movie. Sharam has managed to come up with his own entirely unique look and feel, while still maintaining the unforgettable magic and glory of the classic Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies. Featuring music by Nick Froud. I would seriously watch an entire series like this. But we also have that Amazon LOTR series coming soon anyway. This short is a must watch 2-minute adventure. ›››

"This has been a lifelong thing for me… You don't know that things won't get better." Annapurna Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for On the Count of Three, an acclaimed dark comedy marking the feature directorial debut of comedian / actor / writer Jerrod Carmichael. This originally premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival last year, and it has been waiting to be released for over a year now.

But as the two spend the day wrapping up their affairs, Kevin's need to confront his own trauma sends their orderly plan spiraling out of control. Jerrod Carmichael and Christopher Abbott co-star, joined by Tiffany Haddish, JB Smoove, and Henry Winkler.

Review: Nicolas Cage in 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'

More often than not, good actors end up with a "bad" reputation because of their "less enjoyable" cinema projects, and the opposite is also possible, albeit in fewer numbers. The truth is that the general idea that literally all Hollywood celebrities live an above-average life without financial, personal, or family problems is somewhat misleading. Nicolas Cage is a perfect example of an incredibly talented actor who, due to the obstacles life confronted him with, was "forced" to participate in "smaller jobs" in order to solve complicated situations. Writer / director Tom Gormican's film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is the quintessential tribute to the iconic career of someone who has always managed to elevate films he's been in. ›››

Watch: Impressive Sci-Fi Micro Short Film 'Sentry' by Ryan Connolly

Beware of drones. They will always outsmart humans. Sentry is an impressive under-3-minutes short film made by filmmaker Ryan Connolly, created for "Film Riot" run by the Connolly Brothers. It's another fine example of just how much can fit in 2 minutes of footage - introducing characters in a sci-fi world, letting action play out quickly. There's a lot going on in this and it's worth a watch. This is good enough to play as a "Black Mirror" opener. Sentry stars Josh Connolly and Justin Robinson. One is on the other side of the war than the other in this dystopian world. This could be called a proof-of-concept, but it's just an engaging micro short with some excellent VFX on top of it all.

"How come Batman doesn't dance anymore?" Ahahah this is great! Corridor has whipped up this ingenious creation remixing footage from The Batman movie with characters from the original 60s Batman TV show starring Adam West. It's even better than you think! It's so good my only complaint is that there is not enough footage. More more more…! This Batman video is created and uploaded by Corridor Crew (aka Corridor Digital), a professional YouTube channel of video creators and artists. We also featured their "VFX artists make the Up balloon house for real" video last year. This is one of their best so far! This also features Burt Ward as Robin and Burgess Meredith as The Penguin in addition to West's vintage Batman gaffing it up. I think my favorite parts in this are the jumping in the dark scene and the Bat-copter getaway. Enjoy. ›››

Awoken from Cryo With No Memory - 'Cryo' Sci-Fi Mystery Trailer

"He is in our memories… If we can just remember!" Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller titled Cryo, another Cube-esque concept involving being trapped in a contained space. This is opening in theaters in late June right in the middle of the summer. In an underground facility, five scientists wake from cryosleep with no memory of who they are or how long they've been asleep. They soon make a shocking realization: a killer is hunting them down there, and may even be hiding among them. They begin to realize they may have been part of a scientific experiment gone wrong… Or is it something else? The film stars Jyllian Petrie, Emily Marie Palmer, Mason D. Davis, Curt Doussett, Morgan Gunter, with Michael Flynn. It almost looks like this has way too many ideas crammed into the one script, with all the different character trying to build their own plot instead of focusing on the mystery at hand. Check this out. ›››

Full Trailer for Peter Strickland's Strange 'Flux Gourmet' Food Horror

"Cooking and performing is a hazard." IFC Midnght has unveiled the main trailer for Flux Gourmet, a wacky indie horror dark comedy about a "food collective", made by the director of Berberian Sound Studio - Peter Strickland. This premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year to rather mixed reviews - you'll see why from this trailer. Set at an institute devoted to culinary + alimentary performance, an art collective finds themselves embroiled in power struggles, artistic vendettas and gastrointestinal disorders. It stars Asa Butterfield, Gwendoline Christie, Ariane Labed, Fatma Mohamed, Makis Papadimitriou, Leo Bill, Richard Bremmer. I appreciate the PR description for this one that calls it an "Intoxicating Gonzo Delicacy" - ha! That actually gets my attention. But the rest of this looks so dumb. Just not my cup of tea at all, it's literal artsy-fartsy cinema slop. However, if you like Strickland's films - you do not want to miss this. ›››

Official Trailer for Modern, Queer Romantic Comedy Film 'Fire Island'

"You think that if you're vulnerable for just one second it's all going to come crashing down. Searchlight Pictures has revealed an official trailer for a modern romantic comedy called Fire Island, another of their direct-to-Hulu offerings that hasn't played at any fests. I am a big fan of Searchlight but it's a bit sad to see them give up on theaters entirely and send everything to Hulu (don't skip on Fresh either). In this, a pair of best friends set out to have a legendary week-long summer vacation with the help of cheap rosé and a group of eclectic friends. Described as "an unapologetic, modern day rom-com," the film's title refers to the real "Fire Island" - a famous gay escape destination off the southern shore of Long Island. Starring Joel Kim Booster (who also wrote the script), Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, Zane Phillips, James Scully, and Margaret Cho. This looks amusing and honest, covering the many ups and downs of modern romance. ›››

Sissy Spacek & J.K. Simmons in Fascinating 'Night Sky' Sci-Fi Trailer

"You ready to make history?" "You say that every time." Amazon has revealed the first official trailer for a fascinating sci-fi series called Night Sky, arriving on Prime Video later in May this summer. This looks pretty damn good! "I need to see where all this leads." The series introduces us to Franklin and Irene York, a couple who years ago discovered a chamber buried in their backyard with a portal which inexplicably takes them to a strange, deserted planet. Everything seems to be going okay as they've kept it a secret, but things change when they consider telling others. Then all of a sudden a strange man named Jude shows up. Sissy Spacek & J.K. Simmons star as the lovely couple, with a cast including Chai Hansen, Adam Bartley, Julieta Zylberberg, Rocío Hernández, and Kiah McKirnan. I just hope the twist in this isn't that it's actually all fake and they fell for it. I hope the twist is it's real and someone lost track of this portal! I want to know more about the planet! I'm completely sold by this trailer - adding this one to my summer watch list. ›››

The Story of Massive Social Security Fraud in 'The Big Conn' Doc Trailer

"We laughed at him, but everyone wanted to meet him." Apple has revealed the trailer for an intriguing new true crime documentary series called The Big Conn, the next project from the creators / directors of the McMillions about the McDonald's Monopoly game fraud scheme. This time they're focusing on a different kind of fraud, but with just as much trickery and deception. The new four-part series tells the unbelievable true story of larger-than-life attorney, Eric C. Conn, who defrauded the government and taxpayers over half a billion dollars in the largest Social Security fraud case in United States history. All four parts of the series will premiere alongside an "Apple TV+ Original" companion podcast that will explore Conn’s con and outrageous lifestyle further with additional interviews & behind-the-scenes details. This sounds wild! It seems to be more proof that it's always the ones hiding in plaint sight pulling the biggest crimes, living large – until they get caught. I really hope they caught this greedy bastard - I guess we have to watch to find out. ›››

'El Topo in Space!' Trailer for Ethereal French Sci-Fi Film 'After Blue'

"When she gets here, you'll have to shoot her." Altered Innocence has revealed the US trailer for a French sci-fi film called After Blue (Dirty Paradise), which first premiered at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival. It also played at the Toronto Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Beyond Fest, and Busan. Everything about it sounds mesmerizing. A chimeric future on After Blue, a planet in another galaxy, a virgin planet where only women can survive in the midst of harmless flora & fauna. The story follows a punitive expedition to the planet. “Seductive, ethereal, bizarre… A kaleidoscopic fantasy warped through the lens of a 1970s sci-fi Western, After Blue is a synthetic siren song for the freaks of the future and the past," one review states. The PR folks add: "the newest vision from Bertrand Mandico (The Wild Boys) plays like a lesbian El Topo (in space!) with stunning 35mm in-camera practical effects, otherworldly set pieces, and a dazzling score from Pierre Desprats." Starring Elina Löwensohn, Vimala Pons, Agata Buzek, & Paula Luna. This looks so cool. ›››

True Crime Series 'The Staircase' Trailer with Colin Firth & Toni Collette

"We have no murder weapon, but we found countless images on his computer…" HBO has debuted the full-length official trailer for The Staircase, a fictionalized HBO mini-series that's "inspired" by a true crime story from 2001 that some of you may have heard of before. A man, grieving the death of his wife who fell down a staircase, is accused of murdering her. Did he do it? Apparently he did, but as always we may never really know for sure. Based on a true story, The Staircase explores the peculiar life of Michael Peterson, his sprawling North Carolina family, and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Colin Firth stars with Toni Collette as his (murdered? or accidentally killed? or something else?) wife, with an impressive ensemble cast that also features Sophie Turner, Michael Stuhlbarg, Dane DeHaan, Odessa Young, Rosemarie DeWitt, Patrick Schwarzenegger, plus Juliette Binoche and Parker Posey. This looks super eerie and Firth is the perfect mysterious "did he or didn't he?" actor for this. The owls are so creepy. ›››

Wil Daniels Stars in Odd Dark Comedy 'Suicide for Beginners' Trailer

"Do you even understand what's happening right now?" Vertical Ent. has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Suicide for Beginners, marking the feature directorial debut of Craig Thieman. This is arriving on VOD to watch this May. Here's a pitch: "Writing the perfect suicide note isn't easy. Murdering a garage full of people is also pretty hard. But getting your victims to like you while you kill them, that's the really tricky part." Here's what it's actually about: "Insecure and unhinged, Garrett is dead set on murdering the unrequited love of his life, Mia. When he comes face to face with his victim, his awkward incompetence takes over and things quickly spiral out of control as he finds himself on a deranged path to becoming a serial killer." The film stars Wil Daniels, Sara Tomko, Nate Panning, Julia Lehman, Simon Crist, Christian Rozakis, plus Corey Feldman and Sid Haig. This film looks extra kooky and rather weird. ›››

Official Trailer for 'Into The Weeds' Doc About Monsanto & Cancer

"This is about food, this is about health, this is about the soil, this is about environment." An official trailer has arrived for a documentary film titled Into The Weeds, about the uber despicable, disgusting Monsanto corporation and their evil ways. I really hate this company - and you should, too. Monsanto has been in so much trouble, and has been in so many films already, but this looks like one of the worst. Dewayne Johnson is a Bay Area groundskeeper who suffered from rashes and wondered if they were caused by the herbicide he'd been using for the past couple years. Johnson became the face of a legal battle to hold a corporation accountable for a product, yet they still fought him. "This is bigger than me." Adding to her award-winning body of work often centered on our strained relationship with the natural world, docu director Jennifer Baichwal follows Johnson through his battle, setting his personal journey against a global environmental crisis. This looks so frustrating but hopefully telling this story makes a difference in some way. Take a look. ›››

Freaky Trailer for Russian Supernatural Airplane Thriller Film 'Row 19'

"I'm starting to confuse reality with my nightmares." Well Go USA has revealed an official US trailer for a Russian supernatural thriller called Row 19 directed by Alexander Babaev. This already opened in Russia last fall and is getting a US release on VOD and disc to watch in May. A young female doctor with a 6-year-old daughter is on a night flight caught in a terrible storm. In a half-empty cabin, she faces the unexplained deaths of her fellow passengers, begins to lose her grip on reality and relives the worst nightmare from her childhood. Some evil force is back to finish what it started years ago. The movie stars Svetlana Ivanova, Marta Timofeeva, Wolfgang Cerni, Ekaterina Vilkova, Anatoliy Ko, and Victoria Korlyakova. This looks like it gets super intense once things get going. It's an English-language dub of the film, which sucks, but I guess they don't want anyone to know it's from Russia anymore. Check this out below anyway. ›››

Official Trailer for 'Where The Scary Things Are' Urban Legend Horror

"What the hell did you kids do?!" Lionsgate has released an official trailer for an indie horror movie called Where The Scary Things Are, the latest creation from filmmaker B. Harrison Smith. This premiered at the Horror Hounds Film Festival and will be on VOD in June this summer. A group of teenagers inspired by a high school "Create Your Own Urban Legend" project quickly get out of hand in their greedy desire for more "likes" and going viral with deadly consequences. It seems that they end up creating some kind of real urban legend monster, and film him to prove he's real ending up becoming a viral sensation - but it's also really killing people. Or so it seems from the trailer? The ensemble cast includes Paul Cottman, Michael Cervantes, Peter F. Cote, Quinn Andrew Fickes, Selina Flanscha, Oliver Givens, Emma Lim, Asher Ruppert, & Riley Sullivan. The dialogue in this trailer is pretty bad, but the rest of it seems okay. ›››

Always Lost in Time in 'The Time Traveler's Wife' Series Full Trailer

"Three things I got good at to survive: running, fighting, and stealing." HBO Max has unveiled a full trailer for their new adaptation of the beloved book titled The Time Traveler's Wife. This is another new take on the book, as they already made the The Time Traveler's Wife movie, with Eric Bana & Rachel McAdams, which first opened in 2009. This new series stars Rose Leslie & Theo James as the couple dealing with the challenges of random time travel. For those unfamilair with this, it's not so much of a story about time travel as it is a romance about the difficulties of finding and staying in love. "Every moment matters," the tagline states. The cast also includes Jason David, Kate Siegel, Jaime Ray Newman, Josh Stamberg, Taylor Richardson, Spencer House, & Michael Park. Wow this looks damn good, I quite like the way into gets into all these existential questions between the two of them. "Why is love intensified by absence?" ›››

Netflix's 'Cyber Hell: Exposing an Internet Horror' Crime Doc Trailer

"This is not one person's act. The people in that chat room did it together." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a chilling true crime documentary from South Korea titled Cyber Hell: Exposing an Internet Horror, uncovering the 2019 chat room atrocities that shocked the country. The doc film will be streaming worldwide starting in May - as this is the kind of story that the whole world needs to hear about. "This was nothing short of abuse." Anonymous and exploitative, a network of online chat rooms ran rampant with sex crimes. The hunt to take down its operators required guts and tenacity. Netflix adds: "This is the story of one of the most devastating digital crimes that gripped the region, the age of digital anonymity that allowed it to thrive, and the victims who spoke out to help bring it down." This is not a story that many people in America will be familiar with, which makes it even more fascinating and frightening to learn about in a film. ›››

Final Trailer for Pixar's 'Lightyear' Sci-Fi Adventure with Chris Evans

"I hope you're ready for action, because all we needed was a pilot." Disney + Pixar have revealed the final official trailer for Lightyear, the sort of prequel to the Toy Story movies, focusing on Buzz Lightyear as a spin-off solo movie about the Space Ranger. Chris Evans is voicing the actual Buzz, the astronaut within the Toy Story universe who inspired the action figure. The plot involves Buzz being marooned on an alien planet and having to figure out a way to get home. Along with Evans, the voice cast includes Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, Taika Waititi, Peter Sohn as Buzz's robot companion, Sox the cat, Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr. This trailer features a LOT of big reveals - with some character unveilings (including who Taika voices!) as well as the story involving them jumping ahead in time. This looks like it might just be one of Pixar's best, and not just because I love sci-fi, but it looks they really went all out and made something truly special (just as they always do, right?). ›››

Full Trailer for Netflix Series 'Clark' with Bank Robber Bill Skarsgård

"This f&!*ing society has never given me an honest chance!" Netflix has revealed the full-length trailer for the crime comedy series Clark, made by Swedish filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund (of the films Spun, Lords of Chaos, Polar). Clark tells the story of the Swedish criminal who gave rise to the idea of "The Stockholm Syndrome" during a failed bank robbery in Stockholm in the 70s. Clark Olofsson has been referred to as a "celebrity gangster", and over his many decades has managed to escape prisons and commit robberies all over Europe. Åkerlund explains: "Clark is the story about the most politically incorrect man, who lived the most politically incorrect life. These are the kinds of stories I always look for. It’s an ultra-violent, witty, emotional, real and surreal biography to put a face to the name 'Stockholm Syndrome', but it isn’t just about the Norrmalmstorg Robbery. It’s about his whole life and what made him who he is, the truth and lies of his incredible career." Bill Skarsgård plays Clark, with Alicia Agneson, Vilhelm Blomgren, Sandra Ilar, Kolbjörn Skarsgård, and Hanna Björn. This is such a wild trailer! So much is going on! Give it a look. ›››

Katey Sagal in Brea Grant's Country Music Horror 'Torn Hearts' Trailer

"Which one of you is better?" Blumhouse has revealed an official trailer for a new film titled Torn Hearts, directed by the very talented actress & filmmaker Brea Grant. This is her third feature film so far and she's getting even better with each and every one. "Things are headed south in Torn Hearts as a country music duo in Nashville meet their idol only to find out it isn't quite the dream they imagined….How far would you go for your dreams?" That's the intro. The film follows a country music duo from Nashville who seek out the private mansion of their idol and end up in a twisted series of horrors that force them to confront the limits they'd go for their dreams. The film stars Katey Sagal and Abby Quinn, with Alexxis Lemire, Joshua Leonard, and Shiloh Fernandez. This doesn't sound like horror, but oh it definitely is. It's a very clever spin on music celebrities with some stylish scares and dark twists. I really dig this - definitely worth a look. ›››

Disappearance Thriller 'Last Seen Alive' Trailer Starring Gerard Butler

"I'm a simple guy. I don't have any special skills… No secret service. No special forces. But when someone harms my wife… there will be hell to pay." Voltage Pictures has revealed an official trailer for Last Seen Alive, an intriguing new disappearance thriller starring & produced by Gerard Butler. It used to have the title Chase, and should be out this summer. After Will Spann’s wife suddenly vanishes at a gas station, his desperate search to find her leads him down a dark path—one that forces him to run from authorities and take the law into his own hands. He descends into into the town's criminal underbelly in a race against time to find her. Butler stars with Jaimie Alexander, Dani Deetté, Aleks Alifirenko Jr, Robert Walker Branchaud, Jordan Salloum, and David Kallaway. That "no secret service" line is a fun nod to Butler's other movies. And the rest of this actually looks solid - Butler with a grizzled, almost deranged performance. ›››

Official Trailer for 'Breath' Survival Film - In a Hole Inside a Volcano

"No food, no signal, no help, no hope." Uncork'd Ent. has revealed a trailer for a movie called Breath, made by filmmaker John Real. This almost plays like an Asylum remake of 127 Hours, but with a female lead and a *gasp* volcano twist. It looks pretty bad, oh well. Lara Winslet is an expert geologist in volcanology. She is with her team to conduct some surveys, and one day decides to stay longer to finish some work. But she has an accident, falling inside a hole in the ground. She remains stuck inside there, where no one can either see or hear her. It is now a race against time to get out safely. Rachel Daigh stars as Laura Winslet, with a small cast including James Cosmo and Neb Chupin. I know getting a guy from "Game of Thrones" is a big get, but it's a shame the marketing is highlighting him over the actress who is actually the one giving the stuck-inside-this-hole performance that makes up most of the movie anyway. Check out the footage below. ›››

Soldiers in a Foxhole in Trailer for Time-Hopping 'Foxhole' War Film

"We're representing the United States of America… Who are we?" Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Foxhole, the second feature from filmmaker / actor / composer Jack Fessenden. This premiered at a few small film festivals last fall, and will be out on VOD in the US this May. Unfolding over 36 hours in three different wars - the American Civil War, World War I, and Iraq. Foxhole follows a small group of soldiers who are confronted in a confined space with questions of their morality, the futility of their actions, and an increasingly unpredictable combat situation. Description from one of the fests: "There is no war, there is no patriotic goal, not even orientation in the most elementary sense. All there is, is a foxhole, a wall of fog and a desperate will not to die." This stars Motell Gyn Foster, Alex Hurt, Cody Kostro, Angus O'Brien, James Le Gros, Andi Matichak, Alex Breaux, Asa Spurlock. It looks rough around the edges, but still seems to be worthy exploration of the futility and brutality of war. ›››
