There will be a free screening of 1 MILE TO YOU, a feature film based on the Novel Life at These Speeds by Jeremy Jackson on Tuesday, May 30th at 7pm at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar ‘In the Loop’). Go HERE for the free tickets.
When a teenager (Graham Rogers) loses his once-in-a-lifetime girlfriend (Stefanie Scott) in a tragic accident, he finds that running keeps him connected to her during his “runner’s high” moments. Chasing her memory drives him to run faster, and to win for his new coach (Billy Crudup). Before long, however, his newfound noteriety attracts the attention of a whip-smart new girl (Liana Liberato) who is determined to find out what’s really going on inside him. Soon, he finds himself caught between keeping the past alive and making new memories in the present. “1 Mile To You” is an uplifting, emotional, and visceral romantic sports drama about the power of our fondest memories to sustain us through our worst traumas—and when it is time to let the memories go and face an uncertain future.

No one else is the same… Em is her name! But, does the new Jem live up to her 80’s legend? Now you have two ways to find out! Not only will you find my written review below, but I also shot and edited a review just for you! (Go easy on me since I’ve never shot myself before!) It’s a ‘choose you’re own adventure’ kind of review!
Jerrica Benton, a small town girl is thrust into the spotlight after being discovered on YouTube, and is on the ride of her life with her sisters. The problem is that her video was posted under the alias ‘Jem,’ and now that’s who the world wants. Jerrica is now on a mission to find her voice in the world, and getting into mischief along the way.
I’m not going to lie. I was worried about this when I saw the trailer. As a child of the 80’s, so much had changed about my beloved Jem! Why did she have brown hair? How was she going to turn into Jem if she wasn’t using synergy to do so? Where was Rio’s sweet purple hair? Well kids… I’m here to tell you that I enjoyed this film. Sure, Jon M. Chu changed a lot when it comes to the sci-fi side of things, but he transformed Jem into something that young kids today can relate to. He adapted her. Instead of synergy creating the hologram of Jem, Jerrica was pressured to present Jem to the world at all times… Jem was her hologram to the outside world, and on social media to hide behind. Clever Chu… Clever.
The casting in this film was wonderful. Aubrey Peeples is not only talented, but incredibly likable. I’ve gotta hand it to Chu. He went out of his way to find actors with musical talent. Stefanie Scott, Aurora Perrineau, Hayley Kiyoko, and Ryan Guzman really impressed me in the film. My biggest kudos goes to Juliette Lewis in her portrayal of Erica Raymond. In the cartoon, the head of Starlight Enterprises was Eric, a man. Not in 2015! Juliette Lewis is incredible to watch on-screen, and I’m hoping to see her rock out in a sequel since her real-life band is amazing! Add Molly Ringwald into the mix and you’ve got one solid cast!
The songs don’t stick to one genre, but dammit they are catchy. The song ‘Youngblood’ still creeps into my head. The songs go from more pop, to pop-rock, to an indie Zooey Dechanel type of ballad. There’s sure to be something for everyone!
Now, what comes up must come down. I do have a few gripes about the film. The second act is boring, and kind of unnecessary. Also, why does Rio have to sneak into his mothers company? He works there! It’s ridiculous and makes zero sense. While we are on the subject of Rio, where was his purple hair? My Barbies dated Rio instead of Ken as a kid because of his delicious purple locks. Such a bummer! Overall the film is a bit cheesy, but so were the 80’s, so I can overlook that!

Hitting theaters on October 23rd is the musical adventure JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS from director Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation).
Universal Pictures has released the first trailer and judging by social media, fans of the original iconic Hasbro animated TV series are disappointed.
See the reaction on the film’s Facebook page here. Comments on YouTube range from:
“Um???? Where are the actual Holograms???? Like that’s a pretty big part of the movie???”
“This pays no homage to the original anime series,” “No Misfits? No Starlight House? No Starlight Girls? No Synergy? I can’t be more underwhelmed.”
As a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a one-in-a-million journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden.
In JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, four aspiring musicians will take the world by storm when they see that the key to creating your own destiny lies in finding your own voice.

The indie rock band Cherry Glazerr has recorded a lushly seductive new version of the classic song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” which audiences worldwide know as a disturbing recurring tune in the hit INSIDIOUSmovies.
Heard in part in the just-released first theatrical trailer for next summer’s INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3, Cherry Glazerr’s fresh interpretation, produced by the band’s frequent collaborator Carlos de la Garza, is being issued in full today on the official INSIDIOUS Facebook page (www.facebook.com/InsidiousMovie); fans can also visit the movie’s Twitter page (www.twitter.com/InsidiousMovie) for more information.
INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3 stars Dermot Mulroney and Stefanie Scott alongside Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson, and Leigh Whannell, with the latter trio reprising their roles from the first two movies in the franchise. The newest chapter in the terrifying horror series is written and directed by franchise co-creator Leigh Whannell.
This chilling prequel, set before the haunting of the Lambert family, reveals how gifted psychic Elise Rainier (Ms. Shaye) reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl (Ms. Scott) who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity.
Jason Blum of Blumhouse, who produced both previous movies in the series, is producing the next installment with returning producer Oren Peli and franchise co-creator James Wan, who directed the two earlier films written by Mr. Whannell with story by Mr. Wan and Mr. Whannell. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Steven Schneider, Charles Layton, and Xavier Marchand are executive-producing INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3.
Praised by LA Weekly for its “spunky dream pop,” Cherry Glazerr consists of frontwoman/guitarist Clementine Creevy, drummer Hannah Uribe, and bassist Sean Redman. Their first two albums, Papa Cremp and Hazel Princess, were released by Burger Records.
Based in and around Los Angeles and Orange County, the trio has been championed and photographed by French fashion designer Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent, who commissioned a song from the band for his Women’s Runway at Fashion Week in Paris.
The resulting song, “Had Ten Dollaz,”captured Cherry Glazerr’s dualities: sultry and virulent, sophisticated yet casual, laid-back and bombastic, playful yet deliberate. Suicide Squeeze Records issued “Had Ten Dollaz” with the equally intoxicating B-side “Nurse Ratched”as a limited-edition 7” single, also available digitally.
Cherry Glazerr is at work on new songs with Mr. de la Garza producing, and continues to play music festivals.
