Streaming on most VOD platforms is the psychological thriller "Somnium". At an experimental sleep clinic called Somnium, dreams are made real. Side effects may include: hallucinations, confusion, paranoia, sleep paralysis, detachment from reality and permanent nightmares. Film Critic Tony Toscano says, "Somnium (excuse the pun) is a sleepy, slow moving and hard to follow film that takes its time to come to a boil. The film jumps around way too much for the average viewer, but if you stick with it to the end the pay off is worth the ride." He gives it a C and it's not rated.

In selected theaters is the action comedy "Code 3". It stars Rainn Wilson. The film follows a paramedic so burnt-out by the job that he's forcing himself to resign, however, before he leaves he first must embark on one last 24-hour shift to train his replacement. Tony says, "Code 3 is a funny, touching and brutal film combining gallows humor with what first responders encounter everyday." He gives it a B and it's not rated.

Also in selected theaters is the psychological thriller "Him". It stars Marlon Wayans. A young athlete descends into a world of terror when he's invited to train with a legendary champion whose charisma curdles into something darker. Tony says, "HIM is a disturbing and deep film about control and and the pursuit of being the best of the best no matter what it takes." He gives it an A and it's rated R.
