Synopsis

Charming and ambitious art critic, James Figueras, has fallen from grace. He spends his days in Milan lecturing witless tourists about art history. His only glimmer of hope is a new-found love interest, the enigmatic American, Berenice Hollis. An opportunity strikes when he is contacted by wealthy art dealer Joseph Cassidy who summons James to his villa on Lake Como and asks him to steal a painting from the legendary reclusive artist, Jerome Debney. Soon, James’ greed and ambition get the better of him, and he finds himself caught in a web of his own making.

VOD Releases: Orange You Glad we have VOD?

August 26th, 2020

The Burnt Orange Heresy

There are some excellent VOD releases coming out this week, including Yes, God, Yes and The Truth. However, there are also some films that are not quite as stellar, but would still make great VOD rentals, like The Burnt Orange Heresy. Here’s a rundown of what’s new. More...

New on Disc: Is it Time to say Yes?

August 25th, 2020

Yes, God, Yes

Normally this time of year is a transitional period, as the flood of TV on DVD releases begins to give way to the soon-to-be flood of summer blockbusters. However, the pandemic means there are no summer blockbusters coming out this week, or next week. Or next month. Or the month after that. There are still a couple of bigger TV-on-DVD releases, including The Flash, but the biggest recent theatrical releases hardly made an impact. The best release on this week’s list is Yes, God, Yes, but Amazon has it currently unavailable, so grab it from Target instead.

Limited and Virtual Releases: I Used to Go Here Leads the Pack

August 6th, 2020

I Used to Go Here

It is a busier week than usual for theatrical releases, with twelve of them in total. Unfortunately, most of them are earning reviews that are merely good, or worse. Much worse in some cases. The few films that have the reviews strong enough to thrive are the wrong genre for the pandemic era. Hopefully films like I Used to Go Here will do well enough in VOD, but don’t expect much in theaters. More...

Theater Averages: First Cow Comes Home

March 12th, 2020

First Cow

First Cow was one of two films in the $10,000 club earning an average of $20,331 in four theaters. The Booksellers was the only other member of the $10,000 club opening with $15,794 in its lone theater. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Bitter Pill to Swallow

March 6th, 2020

Swallow

There are way too many limited releases and I fear this will hurt the box office chances of any film coming out this week. This is too bad, as there are several that deserve to find an audience, including Bacurau, Extra Ordinary, First Cow, Go Back to China, and so many more. It’s going to be tough when none of the films open in the $10,000 club. More...
