Apple TV Plus released a trailer for “Invasion,” which launches Oct. 22 with it first three episodes.
The new series hails from Simon Kinberg and David Weil and is set across multiple continents as citizens across the globe struggle to deal with the titular event, which at first presents as smaller and more manageable issues.
“My fellow citizens of the world, what I have to say to you is not something I was ever prepared to say. As many of you know by now, we are suffering from inexplicable and seemingly unrelated incidents ranging from power outages to the destruction of infrastructure and homes,” the president says in the trailer, which you can watch below.
But what was once thought of as being individual incidents very quickly are realized to be connected and being caused by something “not of our Earth,” she continues.
Soon it will come to light that this...

Stars: Kent McCord, J. Trevor Edmond, Melinda Clarke, Basil Wallace, Sarah Douglas | Written by John Penney | Directed by Brian Yuzna
These days he might be making nonsense like Amphibious Creature of the Deep, but Brian Yuzna’s directorial career began on a high with the excellent body horror satire Society, followed up by a good Re-Animator sequel. Then in 1993 came Return of the Living Dead 3, which, while not matching Dan O’Bannon’s 1985 original, goes some way to righting the wrongs of Part II.
Experiments with “Trioxin” gas began in 1969. The idea was to resurrect the dead and use them as a zombie army. It didn’t go so well, and now the cadavers are locked away in tanks in a temporary government facility. (The facility recalls Day of the Dead’s underground bunker, although it looks rather like a Red Dwarf set at times.)

The popularity that continues to this day of Steven Seagal can be directly pointed at and summed up on his first four films. Usually playing cold, calculating tough guys that disobey their superiors to get the job or justice done, Seagal’s films were perfectly paced bone-snapping action films, that within these first few films established him as an action star along the sides of Sly Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who dominated the box office at that time in the early 1990s. Also of note, is that these films were related by their three word titles, something of which inspired this retrospective’s name.
Directed by Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers helmer Dwight H. Little in 1990, Marked for Death is our next Action Packed Flashback, as Killer Film chats with screenwriter Michael Grais, who was then coming off of the horror hit franchise in Poltergeist and Poltergeist II.

In the horror spoof "Tales From the Hood", screenwriter Darin Scott, along with writer-director Rusty Cundieff, took genre blending to considerable extremes with lively if very mixed results.
With "Caught Up", Scott's directorial debut, he applies the technique to the classic crime/guy in the wrong place at the wrong time story with a similar, wildly uneven payoff. At times coming across like an urban David Lynch, Scott lacks the directing chops to effectively keep the diverse elements (not to mention acting styles) in check by creating a unifying, overall tone.
Those who like their urban crime movies straight up will likely pass up "Caught Up", although it could snag some video business.
The picture starts on what would appear to be a predictable path. Daryl Allen (Bokeem Woodbine), is the troubled young man who tries to get his life back on the right path but finds out fate has other ideas.
Thrown into jail for a robbery to which he had inadvertently become an accessory, Daryl emerges from prison five years later only to subsequently get caught up with an exotic fortuneteller (Cynda Williams) who bears an uncanny resemblance to the mother of his son and draws him into a crazed universe in which sleazy small-time operators, sadistic Rastafarian warlords, corrupt cops and bladder bags (don't ask) share equal billing.
Scott's script certainly has its fresh, unpredictable moments, but as the film progresses it becomes harder to distinguish the funny from the unintentionally funny. Whenever he decides it's time to go back to being serious, the transitions become harder and harder to pull off. The direction is part of the problem. So are the performances.
Lead Woodbine ("Jason's Lyric", "Dead Presidents") has a nice, quiet intensity that works well for the part, but whenever he's required to do anything beyond a specific range, the results aren't quite as convincing. Williams has some fun as the duplicitous temptress but she probably doesn't go far enough given Scott's anything-goes parameters. Other performances are high on the ham factor, while the touted appearances of Snoop Doggy Dogg and LL Cool J turn out to be no more than one-scene cameos.
At least you can't fault Scott's visual flair, which, with sturdy assists from DP Tom Callaway and production designer Terrence Foster, runs the style gamut from a tongue-in-cheek Bond-esque opening to vintage 1930s Warner Bros.' superimposition to BET music video slickness.
