If MacGyver makes it to a fourth season, it will do so without George Eads. TVLine has confirmed that the actor has decided to leave his role as Jack Dalton during the second half of the CBS reboot’s current third season.

His final episode is slated to air in early 2019. Eads had reportedly been asking to be released from his long-term contract in order to return to Los Angeles (where his young...

Whatever the technical intrigue of a film shot guerilla-style at Disney World, the would-be surreal midlife crisis that ended up onscreen doesn’t work… at all. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
It sounded like a potentially fun idea: an indie shot guerilla-style at Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Los Angeles purporting to show, in a fictional way, the dark side of The Happiest Place on Earth. But it doesn’t work — at all. There’s not much story for far too long into the brief runtime, merely the onset of a midlife crisis for Jim (Roy Abramsohn) who, on the last day of his family vacation at Disney World, learns that he’s been fired from his job. He then proceeds to spend the day variously creeping on two teenaged French girls...

Chicago – One of America’s family traditions has become the trip to Disney World (or land). In one of the most highly charged anarchistic films in memory, this “tradition” is set on its mouse ears, as writer/director Randy Moore allows everyone to “Escape from Tomorrow.”
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The average family, the average family vacation is the basis for this fantastic takedown of all that is sacred in the Disney universe. Shooting guerilla style on the actual locations, Moore creates a surreal landscape of fear, paranoia, sex, anarchy and madness – exactly what Walt had in mind when he created his world. In actuality though, this vision is closer to the truth than the fantasy Disney washes over us. It is a lesson in creating a balance between true imagination and contrived dollar grabbers. Although spotty in narrative flow, “Escape from Tomorrow” serves as an amazing thesis for American morality gone South.

You don't have to be a parent who has survived dragging small children through the wonders of Walt Disney World to "get" the paranoid Gothic vamp "Escape from Tomorrow." But it helps.
A demented black-and-white acid trip through bad news in a bad marriage with bad parenting, all experienced at "The Happiest Place on Earth," "Escape" is "Breaking Bad" without all the cooking and meth dealers.
But middle-aged man in crisis? "Escape" has that. Jim (Roy Abramsohn) takes the news that he's been laid off by phone -- standing on the balcony of the Contemporary Resort (the hotel that the Disney monorail goes through) so that he doesn't wake his family.
His creepy little boy Elliot (Jack Dalton) locks the door so he can't get back in. That is just the first sign of Elliot's 6-year-old Oedipus Complex.
Jim, staggered by his secret bad news, is off his game during...

Billed as guerilla filmmaking at its finest, the controversial "Escape From Tomorrow" gets a release date! The psychological thriller debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to glowing reviews. And now, we'll be able to see it in a limited theatrical release and video-on-demand on Oct. 11 according to Producers Distribution Agency.
Many folks were questioning whether the film will get released at all because writer/director Randy Moore used Disney World, almost like one of characters in the film, to tell the narrative. In the movie, a husband and father (played by Roy Abramsohn) learns that he lost his job on the eve of his family vacation in Disney World. There, he encounters two French girls which heighten his paranoid delusions.
"Escape From Tomorrow" was shot guerilla-style in Disney World, without the company's permission of course, which led many to question whether the film will be released at all!

Some movies generate Sundance buzz simply because of how plain weird they are, and "Escape From Tomorrow" is one of those.
The claim to fame for this micro-budget movie is that it was filmed in Disney World without permission -- the cast and crew used season passes to gain admission over several weeks and communicated covertly while the park was fully operational -- a legally ambiguous choice that has earned the filmmakers significant press. (But may not be the hurdle to commercial release that some initially believed.)
The plot is a twisted parody of the Disney experience, about a fairly average family -- dad (Roy Abramsohn), mom (Elena Schuber), two kids (Jack Dalton, Katelynn Rodriguez) -- and their unexpectedly twisted vacation. It'll find a cult following, but the hype at Sundance has been overblown enough to obscure one small problem: the movie isn't good.
It's definitely weird, but the kind...
