Showing film results: From 1 to 10
(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- This summer, The ShowRoom proudly launches UNSTREAMABLE CINEMA—a provocative new series showcasing four bold and controversial films that are currently unavailable on any streaming platform. These are rare, one-night-only opportunities to see these uncompromising works on the big screen, where they belong.
The filmmaking collective known as Omnes Films has been responsible for three of the best American indie features of recent years. Tyler Taormina's Ham on Rye and Christmas Eve in Miller's Point and Carson Lund's Eephus all share an elegiac quality. All three are centred around characters confronting the notion that a way of life they've taken for granted is coming to an end. The people in Omnes Films productions don't so much rage against the dying of the light as quietly accept it. In Ham on Rye, a teenage girl contends with being left in her small town when all her friends depart through a strange portal. Christmas Eve in Miller's Point sees an extended Italian-American clan gather for one last Christmas before their family home is sold. Eephus is centred on the last ever game to be played at a beer league baseball field.
(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- The New Jersey Film Festival returns to Rutgers University September 5 through October 10, 2025. As it has done the last few years, the festival will include select in-person screenings with all films available via video on-demand (VOD) as well. There are also a few screenings available only via VOD. Twenty films will have their New Jersey or Area Premiere (Middlesex County).
Following the success of Top Gun: Maverick, the world's dads began to wonder if maybe they might next be gifted a similarly belated sequel to that other high octane Tom Cruise vehicle, Days of Thunder. Ironically, Maverick's director Joseph Kosinski has probably scuppered any chance of that happening, as his racing drama F1 is exactly the movie you imagine a Days of Thunder follow-up would be.
(MILLVILLE, NJ) -- The Levoy Theatre hosts the CUT International Short Film Festival September 19-20, 2025. The festival's motto is 'Short Films for Quick Minds'. Its aim is to become the premier festival in New Jersey for short form films.
Director Gerard Johnstone scored a hit with his 2023 AI thriller M3GAN, so now we have the obligatory upgrade. And like most software updates, this one doesn't improve on what we already had, rather it adds unwanted features and comes with its share of glitches. It strays so far away from the simplicity of the first movie that if the series is to continue it's going to require a full system restore to an earlier saved point.
(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- The 44th Bi-Annual New Jersey Film Festival take place between September 5 - October 10, 2025. The Festival will continue to be a hybrid with films available online as well as doing select in-person screenings at Rutgers University. Twenty films will have their New Jersey or Area Premiere (Middlesex County) during the festival. In addition to the screenings, the festival will also be offering three filmmaking workshops and continues its run of audio-visual concerts with a performance by Cold Weather Company.
Following Justin Anderson's Swimming Home, Rebecca Lenkiewicz's Hot Milk is the second adaptation of a Deborah Levy novel to arrive in 2025. Both movies share a Mediterranean setting, and both feature uptight English-speakers being seduced by an enigmatic and bohemian European woman. They're both frustratingly obtuse. Neither film really nails down what it wants to say, but Hot Milk is the more engaging of the two, thanks largely to an attention-grabbing performance from Fiona Shaw.
Following the conclusion of the original run of Planet of the Apes movies in the '70s, European cinemagoers were surprised to find a new batch of Planet of the Apes movies arriving in their local picture palaces. These new movies weren't actually movies at all, but two episodes of the Planet of the Apes TV show stitched together to fill a feature length running time. 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland's belated (or five years early?) third instalment of their not-zombie franchise, might be mistaken for two episodes of The Walking Dead glued together and released into cinemas.
(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Fresh off multiple festival wins across the country, the critically acclaimed, Alaskan sci-fi drama The Ladder will have its East Coast premiere this Saturday, June 28, 2025 at the Golden Door International Film Festival in Jersey City. Writer-director Emilio Miguel Torres in attendance.
