First Look Trailer for 'Beyond' Prison Doc Produced by Clarence Maclin
First Look Trailer for 'Beyond' Prison Doc Produced by Clarence Maclin
"Every single man here deserves the hope of becoming someone better." An impressive festival trailer has debuted online for a documentary film titled Beyond, made by directors Asia Johnson & Michael Kleiman. This is premiering coming up this weekend at the 2025 DOC NYC Film Festival in the city. It's a refreshing follow-up to the acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film Sing Sing from a few years ago, and it is also executive produced by Clarence Maclin, who starred in that film as "Divine Eye". Beyond tells the story of a group of men at Sing Sing prison (in NY State), as they organize and prepare for a TED Talk-style event, featuring personal narratives & ideas for changing the prison system. Powerful, heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting, the doc follows a group of incarcerated men as they get ready for their event called "Beyond the Block" (watch all the videos here). From filmmakers Asia Johnson (who was previously incarcerated) and Michael Kleinman, this film Beyond is a very timely examination of the myriad issues within the American prison industrial complex & the ways in which progress is slowly being made from the inside out. This looks good. // Continue Reading ›

Fun Trailer for the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle Doc 'The Shuffle'
"How bad can it be?" "Nobody's going to hear it other than people in Chicago, right?" 🏈 And the rest is history. Does anyone remember this? Do the Super Bowl Shuffle! And win some big time games! Ha. HBO has revealed the official trailer for a short documentary film called The Shuffle, a sports history doc as one of their latest offerings during the NFL football season this fall. This looks like good fun. The short film explores the making of the 1985 Chicago Bears' iconic "Super Bowl Shuffle" rap video (which you can also see below), featuring rare footage and new player interviews, showing how this Grammy-nominated hit captivated Chicago and football fans during their championship season. Featuring appearances by former Chicago Bears players Willie Gault, Mike Singletary, Jim McMahon, and Gary Fencik. The Shuffle is ready to stream during Thanksgiving later this month - for primetime football season. The documentary is the first in a new series of short football films, made in partnership with NFL Films, and will debut in advance of the new season of "Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East." This seems like a hilarious blast from the past. // Continue Reading ›

Goofy Italian Comedy 'Sicily Express' Trailer - A Magical Garbage Bin
Goofy Italian Comedy 'Sicily Express' Trailer - A Magical Garbage Bin
"Work in Milan and sleep in Sicily? This Christmas, it will be possible." Ha! I wonder if this a funny concept only Italians will understand? Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a an extra wacky comedy mini-series titled Sicily Express, ready for streaming on Netflix starting in early December. Another holiday offering from Netflix - this one is really made just for Italians to laugh about. With Christmas around the corner, two blundering Sicilian friends working in Milan discover a dumpster that transports them to their families in seconds. It's a fun concept where this trash bin allows them to travel instantly between North Italy (where Milan is) and South Italy (where Sicily and Palermo and Naples are located). The new miniseries is written, directed, and starring Ficarra & Picone. The beloved Sicilian duo returns with a five-episode holiday comedy launching in December. Along with Salvatore Ficarra & Valentino Picone, the cast also includes Katia Follesa & Barbara Tabita, along with Max Tortora, Sergio Vastano, Enrico Bertolino, Adelaide Massari, & Angelo Tosto, plus a special appearance by Giorgio Tirabassi. This is exceptionally goofy & the humor is dumb, but I gotta say - it does look fun enough to watch. Especially during the holidays. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

Review: Animated Sci-Fi Film 'Arco' is a Wondrous Look into the Future
Review: Animated Sci-Fi Film 'Arco' is a Wondrous Look into the Future
"Little boys don't just fall from the sky. It's as if his didn't exist." Oh he does exist! But only if you have the courage to imagine his future. Another wonderfully original animation creation from this year is a film titled Arco, a French animated feature made by illustrator / filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu as his feature directorial debut. Arco already premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier in the year, and I caught up with it at the 2025 Sitges Film Festival this fall where I'm lucky to have been able to watch it on the big screen with an audience. It's the latest hard sci-fi animated film I've seen since the excellent French film Mars Express a few years ago. This year we also have Pixar's sci-fi movie Elio, which is quite similar to this one, about how one child's life is changed by a sci-fi experience. Arco goes all out with a double dose of sci-fi world building, setting the film in the year 2932 and also in the year 2075. Ultimately it's a story the cleverly plays with the time travel idea that you can and will influence the future by interacting with the future. I surprisingly loved this film & highly recommend it to those who enjoy science fiction no matter if it's animation or otherwise. // Continue Reading ›

Trailer for Wacky Animated Film 'Endless Cookie' About Half-Brothers
"The goal is to make something funny, beautiful, spiritual, political..." Obscured Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for an animated film called Endless Cookie, a wacky, funky, clever documentary tale of two-half brothers in Canada. This originally premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and also played at the AFI, Hot Docs, MoMA, and London Film Festival. Endless Cookie is a new film from Seth & Pete Scriver – they've been painstakingly assembling it over 8 years. Two half-brothers, one Indigenous and one white, embark on a journey through time and place. They time travel from their remote home in Shamattawa to the vibrant urban landscape of the 1980s in Toronto. Pete & Seth are half-brothers. Pete is a First Nations carver, poet, mechanic and storyteller living in Shamattawa. He was recently nominated for a Hero award for saving his neighbors life by rescuing her from a house on fire. Seth is an artist, animator and carpenter living in Toronto. He won the Best Canadian First Feature at TIFF in 2013 for his animated feature Asphalt Watches. This is their first creation together. It's a very odd, wacky film - reviews describe it as "the strangest, most seemingly nonsensical documentary in some time." Looks super kooky and amusing. // Continue Reading ›
