Robert LaSardo has made his writing and directorial debut here with “American Trash,” a film about a war vet struggling to find peace in his life after multiple tragedies occur. With cameos from Tom Sizemore, Costas Mandylor, and Lorelei Linklater, you’d think this would be quite a knockout for a debut film. And while there is plenty of heart to find, it falls flat in the end.

Read MoreRaised by Ghosts (2025)
'90s period pieces, whether in comics or movies, are still fairly rare. Considering that my junior high, high school, and most of my college years were spent in that halcyon decade, I have an endless affinity for artwork that examines that era.

Carpathian Night is a delightful blend of retro platforming and modern sensibilities, delivering an experience that pays homage to classic Castlevania games while carving its own path. It captivated me from the start, and my only wish is that it had lasted a bit longer. This game brought me back to the joy of childhood gaming, sitting on the floor and exploring secrets with my Dad.
