Streaming on most video on demand services is the dystopian drama "Motherland". In an alternate present society where the state frees parents from the burden of raising children, a rule enforcer learns the shocking truth and sparks a revolution. Film Critic Tony Toscano says, "Motherland is well-told cautionary tale about what happens when a society grants too much power to the state that controls virtually everything including natural resources and population." He gives it a B and it's not rated.
In selected theaters is the psychological horror / thriller "Bone Lake". In this darkly hilarious and seductive horror story, a dream getaway spirals into a nightmarish maze of sex, lies, and manipulation, bringing terrifying secrets to light and triggering a bloody battle for survival. Tony says, "Bone Lake is a silly, bloody, sexy frat house film with a few good scares and tons of violence. It's a lot of fun, if you don't take too seriously." He gives it a B an it's rated R.
Also in selected theaters is the comedy "One Big Happy Family." It stars Lisa Brenner and the late Linda Lavin. When a DNA test completely upends a woman's life, she embarks on a journey with her mother to find out who she really is. Tony says, "One Big Happy Family is a wonderfully uplifting feel-good comedy about family and connection. Linda Lavin is terrific in this her final performance." He gives it an A and it's not rated.
