Movies

Breathe

Patricia

Prime-time star Tristin Mays plays the role of Charlotte, a woman battling her own inner demons as she pursues a questionable relationship against the wishes of her mother. Mays has surely been a consistent "heavy-hitter" in the realm of tv and film, but for this cinematic drama, she digs deep to get the tears flowing. Directed by first-timer Devon Stewart, this film explores the dynamics of both women empowerment and, to a degree, the depth of empathy.

Moon Creek Cemetery

In the 1830's emigrants from Salem, Massachusetts fled their satanic legacy and came to settle in LaSalle County,Illinois. They brought along with them some of their more unpleasant, unsavory past. There were plain wars between settlers and Indians and whites put together a massacre and mass buried them in what became the cemetery. The Moon family were the curators of the plots. Local legend began after such things as farmers being woken up in the middle of the night with loud crashes coming from the cemetery, and then investigating and seeing all the tombstones knocked over. And then there were the murders.
