Samantha Mathis (2018) #video

While I've only seen 66 films at this point, 2018 has been the year of ups and downs as far as movies go, but a new feature, Eighth Grade, has helped me assume that the remaining months might still have some treasures hidden away. While I took a break from the theater and focused mostly on television recently, Bo Burnham's opus of adolescence still managed to shine through the barrage of comic book adaptations that paint the bright lights these days. In most of the reviews I've read, Elsie Fisher is praised highly, and because I haven't seen the film, I can't attest to this just yet.

Adam Green and Kane Hodder (2018) #video

2017 was a huge year for me, and 2018 is starting off with a bang as well. When I first started CineDump, I developed a short list of creators that I knew I wanted to talk to, but always assumed would be just out of reach. I put Adam Green on the top of that list and with films such as Frozen, Hatchet, and Digging Up the Marrow already under his belt, I am pleased that I get to speak to him about his latest project, Victor Crowley.

April Mullen (2018)

It’s probably safe to say that one of the quietest yet most inspiring success stories of the past few years has been that of April Mullen. Her star quickly rose with the release of 2016’s Below her Mouth, an erotic drama praised by critics for its’ sensitive handling of a lesbian love story and for the employment of the female gaze in its visual exploration of the romance at the heart of the story. Audiences ignorant of the indy film world could be forgiven for thinking that ’16 was the year Mullen exploded onto the scene, but that simply wasn’t the case—the Niagara Falls, Canada native has been quietly making a name for herself since the early 2000's as both an actress and director, churning out multiple films in a variety of genres from comedy to exploitation to horror.

Casper Van Dien (2018) #video

Like any other morning, I made my way to the toilet to check my e-mail, and to my surprise, I had a message from Casper Van Dien as well his latest film, Showdown in Manila, waiting in my inbox. Apparently, Alexander Nevsky had put in a good word for me. While I had wanted to check out Nevsky's nod to The Expendables, I was more pleased to see Casper's contact information.

Paul Solet (2017) #video

I've always been a fan of twists and turns in cinema, and I've always enjoyed heist movies. Most of them anyway. When I first happened upon the trailer for Bullet Head I was thrilled to see something that filled both of those boxes.
