Men & Chicken

Men & Chicken

is also a comedy you should be keeping tabs on. The movie launches April 22nd and it tells the story of two brothers, their complex relationship, and their families.

Opening Night

This comedy is partially about Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night’s Dream. But mostly, it’s about the opening night for the high school production of this particular dramatic masterpiece. Opening Night… opens on May 6th and features Anthony Rapp, Cheyenne Jackson and Jessica Richards.

The Faith of Anna Waters

Launching on May 6th, and initially known as The Offering, The Faith of Anna Waters is a horror story. So if you get scared quite easily, look away. On the other hand, if you’re looking forward to such movies, then this might be the kind of mysterious, spooky drama you’ve wanted.
