Stars: Adam Probets, Tamara Glynn, Darren Randall, Katie Richmond-Ward, Lisa Poisman, Natalie Biggs, James Barnes, Daniel Crowe | Written and Directed by Jason M.J. Brown
Writer/director Jason M.J. Brown opens his latest film on the image of a terrified woman, running from something unseen. Courtney (Natalie Biggs) hopes to evade whatever’s chasing her by hiding in a scrapyard, although the plan falls apart when spooky occurrences happen around her. As windscreens shatter, car alarms blare, and a falling car almost crushes her, Courtney is driven to a bridge where she falls to her death. It’s an attention-grabbing opening which successfully presents the terror on-screen, without showing its source.
A group of children experience tragedy while playing near train tracks, as a train hits one of their own, Morris (Daniel Crowe). Frightened and helpless, the others run off without a clue how they could help. Years later, the friends are now adults; Courtney,...

This tender, absorbing portrait of new lovers tested by events on a romantic trip is a remarkable student-led production
Here’s an interesting project from the film school at Falmouth University: a low-budget drama put together by four film-makers – including director Justin John Doherty and screenwriter Neil Fox, a Falmouth lecturer – with professional actors but otherwise crewed entirely by student first-timers skipping the intern phase. The result is rather lovely, a talky cine-literate portrait of a new relationship set in the 1960s. (I’m not sure you could make such an uncynical film about a couple falling in love in the present day.) It reminded me a little of Blue Valentine, without the messy raw bits, or the divorce – basically before Ryan Gosling gets a beer gut.
There’s a nice emotional fluency to James Barnes’s performance as John, a thoughtful jazz musician who drives with his new...

Natasha Romanoff’s shifting allegiances have never been more conspicuous than in Captain America: Civil War, when she initially fought alongside pro-regulation advocates in support of the Sokovia Accords right up until the moment she betrayed them and allowed Steve Rogers and James Barnes to avoid capture. Naturally, she went on the run herself shortly afterwards, generously given a headstart by Stark himself, and remained underground for nearly two years before reemerging in Scotland with platinum blonde hair, fighting aliens alongside pararescue airman Sam Wilson and a bearded, shieldless Rogers in Avengers: Infinity War.
This May, the superspy thriller Black Widow will fill in part of that two-year gap, with trailers indicating that Romanoff will flee the United States to Europe and reconnect with several figures from her Soviet past to deal with their mutual history. This makeshift family includes the parental Alexei Shostakoff, Aka Red Guardian, and Melina Vostokoff,...

Steve Rogers’ abdication of the shield and mantle of Captain America to Air Force pararescue airman Sam Wilson will be a point of contention in the forthcoming The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with the United States military rejecting the Star-Spangled Man With a Plan’s choice of successor in favor of their own costumed super-patriot, John Walker.
That conflict is inspired in part by Nick Spencer’s recent two-year run on Captain America: Sam Wilson, which closed out its first issue with a sequence in the Sonoran Desert that introduced Joaquin Torres, who would eventually inherit the title of Falcon himself. But Wilson has also inherited an even greater responsibility from his former brother-in-arms, and it’s one that the government can never take away because it was bestowed upon him by Marvel fans themselves.
