Actor, filmmaker and good guy extraordinaire John Krasinski taps in to something with his “A Quiet Place” films. It’s horror done in a way that’s at least more palatable for those such as me.
After the onset of Jason Voorhees from the “Friday the 13th” films and Michael Myers in the “Halloween” series, which eventually led to the films such as those in the “Saw” collection, horror films often felt as if filmmakers placed the emphasis on who could be killed in the grisliest fashion. Joy.
It’s the reason my interest in the genre waned. I even avoided the original “A Quiet Place” until recently. Why the change? “A Quiet Place II” can’t necessarily be given consideration without having the proper context. “A Quiet Place” was a thrilling, heart-thumping exercise in horror and shares that DNA with its successor, which hits area screens only, this weekend. In fact, putting this film anywhere but on a large screen would do it a disservice.
“Those Who Wish Me Dead” is a reminder that, theoretically at least, the summer movie season is upon us as weird and out of whack it may seem.
We’re still in pandemic mode, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel that may just be weeks away and Angelina Jolie’s latest movie signals the changing season. “Dead’s” action adventure film credentials meaning mindless fluff falls right into the summer season and opened on area screens and streamed on HBO Max beginning Friday.
As summer releases go, it doesn’t possess the cachet anyone would expect, but seeing Jolie on the screen is never an unenjoyable event and “Dead” is a film that not only features her prominently, but also has Jon Bernthal, a personal favorite, taking on a hefty role in this thriller. Bernthal possesses that “I know that face, but not the name” kind of cred, but he tends to deliver in every role he takes. “Dead” is no exception.

There exists a fundamental difference, however. Cost.
Goodfriend said Locast is set up to operate as a nonprofit, which means it relies on donations for operations and expansion and is only allowed to spend what it brings in with respect to revenue.
Currently set up like a subscription service with several options available, the minimum monthly donation is $5. For that, viewers receive access to all over-the-air channels in the Cleveland television market. Keep in mind, that’s not just the local network affiliates ABC (WEWS Channel 5), CBS (WOIO Channel 19) Fox (WJW Channel 8) and NBC (WKYC Channel 3), but the sub channels not normally seen on local cable systems that carry assorted programs, including classic TV shows.
Authorities gunned down Fred Hampton Sr., leader of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, in his apartment when he was 21 years old as he lay drugged and asleep next to his pregnant fiancée.
For many, he’s never been forgotten. Not many people of that age leave a legacy such as his. It’s a significant enough legacy that the role of Chairman Fred in the Shaka King film “Judas and the Black Messiah” proved to be an instant attraction for British actor Daniel Kaluuya, a performer whose career and profile have steadily ascended since he caught filmgoers’ eyes with a breakout turn in Jordan Peele’s horror film “Get Out.”
