The History of Future Folk

Opens Friday, May 31, 2013 Synopsis: Two evil aliens come to planet Earth on a mission of destruction, and instead end up forming the galaxy's first interplanetary bluegrass folk duo. A massive comet is on a collision course with planet Hondo. When it strikes, all life on that world will be wiped out. Desperate, the Hondonians send heroic General Trius (Nils d'Aulaire) on a mission to seek out a new home amongst the stars. Upon arriving he will unleash a deadly virus capable of destroying all life, thus clearing the way for a massive takeover. Shortly after setting down on planet Earth, however, General Trius is about to set the virus free when he hears the sound of music for the very first time. Entranced, he instead changes his name to Bill, settles down, and starts a family. A few years later, Bill has a regular gig playing bluegrass at a bar owned by Larry (Dee Snider) when inept Hondonian assassin Kevin (Jay Klaitz) arrives on an assignment to complete the failed mission. Instead, Bill and Kevin end up forming the folk duo Future Folk, quickly gaining a loyal following. Meanwhile, with the planned Hondonian takeover of Earth still gaining steam back home, Future Folk must figure out a means of saving their own race without sacrificing another. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Nils d'Aulaire, Jay Klaitz, Julie Ann Emery, April Hernandez Castillo, Dee Snider, Onata Aprile Movie Details Play Trailer Buy Tickets Movie Review

Reel Releases: Dad would have loved these films

This month marked 15 years since my father died. The anniversary went largely unheralded, with only a passing mention regarding the rapid passage of time. It does not mean his absence is not still sharply felt by those of us fortunate to have known him.Instead, I believe we have all found it easier to internalize our mourning, to remember him in our own individual ways instead of hearing the same stories, both sad and glad, repeated time and time again. I know it's true for me.
