The month of June has been flying by quicker than I can even believe, as we’re already a week out from the end of the 2017 Dances With Films festival, which took over the historic Chinese Theater in Los Angeles earlier this month. During Dwf, I had the opportunity to catch several intriguing genre films, including Devil’s Whisper, Inheritance, Imitation Girl, and Central Park, and here’s a summary of my thoughts on these four flicks:
Devil’s Whisper: There are a few aspects that I enjoyed about Devil’s Whisper, but unfortunately in the end, a somewhat predictable conclusion coupled with some hokey dialogue ends up derailing the supernatural story from becoming anything beyond “it’s fine.”
Co-writer/director Adam Ripp admirably takes the road left traveled in Devil’s Whisper (especially in relation to other recent possession-related movies), as we follow a teenager named Alex (Luca Oriel...

Just when you think the Cleveland Browns had turned a corner, and things were looking up in that part of Ohio, a cruel blow could derail their season.
Brian Hoyer was the long-time back-up quarterback to Tom Brady in New England, before he finally made his first NFL start last season for a beleaguered Arizona Cardinals side.
Now with the Browns having replaced 2012 first rounder Brandon Weeden as the starter, he had them winning, and playing well.
Two consecutive wins over the Vikings and Bengals had seen Rob Chudzinski’s side climb from basement dwellers who had seemingly given up on the season already following the Trent Richardson trade, to a team who could threaten in the Afc North at 2-2.
However on Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Hoyer took off on a innocuous quarterback scramble but his leg buckled underneath him and he left the game and did not return.

HollywoodNews.com: 2011 Emmys:
Leah Sydney reports that the HBO party at the Pacific Design Center “is always the best, classiest, celeb filled of the night. HBO/Time Warner titans Richard Pepler, Jeff Bewkes, Michael Lombardi were all present. Martin Scorsese made an early appearance and left…Kate Winslet as well. Wall to wall celebs, executives, Hollywood power players. HBO always does it well. The wonderful William Hurt chatted with Paul Giamatti.
“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm lost Best Actor in a Drama to Kyle Chandler of “Friday Night Lights.” “Mad Men” won Best Drama, however. Go figure. Hamm–whose film “Friends with Kids” will be distributed by Lions Gate next spring–says he wasn’t surprised about losing. “I’m not stranger to losing these things. It’s become expected for me. Kyle Chandler is truly a good friend of mine and I’m a major fan of that show.

The last day (Saturday, August 7) of the Television Critics Association had HBO wrap up the show in a three hour-panel extravaganza that featured Scorsese, Buscemi, Fisher, Morgan, and Sheila Nevins introducing her pal Spike Lee. The network knows they have to up the ante, FX has "Sons of Anarchy" coming back September 7, AMC continues to stomp with "Mad Men" (HBO passed on that one) and now the long-running "Entourage" will end next summer. HBO executives Michael Lombardi, HBO programming president, and co-president Richard Plepler were on panel after the "Boardwalk" session, and Lombardi said the final "Entourage" season ends in 2011, and may only be six episodes. "The plan right now is we'll finish up this...
