DOLL FACE Pretties Up With Brutal Intrigue In Kyle Murillo’s New Short

I haven’t posted about Kyle Murillo in a while. Alas, we have Doll Face, a four minute detective procedural featuring website favorite Caitlin Hutson squaring off with Devante Thomas. In search of evidence for her recent missing person case, Detective Jane enters the home of a prime suspect after hours. It feels mighty good to hear from Murillo again. I may not have The Hit List anymore, but if I can spotlight these shorts from time to time, you can bet I will. Enjoy!

Streaming Sleepers: Sam Firstenburg’s AMERICAN SAMURAI Revamps A Niche Classic

Sam Firstenberg’s 1992 action thriller, American Samurai was another one of those commercial TV finds for me growing up. The film stars David Bradley in the role of Drew, a journalist whose investigation into a drug-smuggling lands him in the crosshairs of a criminal organization, and its deadly fighting tournament where he’ll be forced to square off with long lost stepbrother-turned-yakuza, Kenjiro, played by Mark Dacascos.
