Based on the off-Broadway musical from Jason Robert Brown, The Last Five Years charts the break-up of a marriage from duelling perspectives. Essentially, this makes it the feel-bad musical of the year, Blue Valentine with the perky songs masking marital despair.

Despite two capable stars in Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan, and the Oscar-nominated Richard Lagravenese in the director's chair, The Last Five Years ends up being significantly less than the sum of its parts. In fact, it's a disappointment on pretty much every level, even leaving something of a sour taste in the mouth thanks to some dubious gender politics.

Jordan plays Jamie, an up-and-coming novelist whose career rapidly takes off while wife Cathy (Kendrick) struggles to make it as an actress. What kills this film stone-dead is...

Chicago – Perhaps you’ve heard Anna Kendrick dabble in that thing called “singing” with her cutesy “Cups” on the radio, her runaway princess role in “Into the Woods” or “Pitch Perfect”.

But apparently it takes an under-the-radar indie film that adapts a commercially failed off-Broadway play for her to shine as a dramatic actress and especially carry the tune as a powerful, spine-chilling singer.

The weekend is over, and we're pretty unhappy about it. Well... I guess we'd be happy if there was some good old fashioned werewolf horror on tap to pass the time until the 5:00 pm whistle! Well, hey! Whattaya know! We have a little something for you!

Below you'll find the trailer for the short film After Visiting Hours for your viewing pleasure! Written and directed by Jacob de la Rosa, After Visiting Hours stars Jeffrey Goodrich, Charly Lee Bivona, and Alana Jo Beckman.

The film revolves around Harvey, Kylie, and Laurel and their family dynamic. Each character brings a unique quality to the team. Harvey (Jeffrey Goodrich) is the leader. He is ruled by his instincts, and he gets his thrills from hunting down and slaying monsters. Kylie (Charly Bivona), his eldest niece, is more emotional, and she feels that murdering monsters is still murder. Laurel (Alana Jo Beckman) is very rational and logical.
