It’d be interesting to know just how many people remember Tony Longo or would know that he passed away back in 2015. To say that he’s missed isn’t an over or understatement since those that remember him as an actor no doubt feel a grin splitting their lips when they remember just what he was all about when he was on screen since he usually played a big but dim-witted individual that was a lot of fun to watch. There were definitely moments when he showed his intelligence that made things even funnier since like it or not, appearances do

The Locarno Film Festival has announced their lineup for the 67th edition, taking place this August between the 6th and 16th. It speaks for itself, but, um, wow...
"Every film festival, be it small or large, claims to offer, if not an account of the state of things, then an updated map of the art form and the world it seeks to represent. This cartography should show both the major routes and the byways, along with essential places to visit and those that are more unusual. The Festival del film Locarno is no exception to the rule, and I think that looking through the program you will be able to distinguish the route map for this edition." — Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director

A rock musician on the lam from bad bikers gets waylaid in the desert, shanghaied by a craggy prophet and his nubile disciple in this Cannes Market offering. A generic off-road chase movie, coated over with "higher-power" mumbo-jumbo, "The Fall of Night" is sporadically entrancing. Unfortunately, its blend of mysticism and mystery never congeals in a suspense or philosophical model. Commercial prospects seem limited to DVD rental, likely most profitable in rural, Bible-Belt areas where its setting and religioso-ramblings may connect with potential viewers
Filmmaker Derrick Warfel has a keen appreciation for sci-fi horror traditions, but he's taped them into a hodge-podge of mushy narration. "The Fall of Night" is heaped with eerie elements, including some apt creepy desert crawlers, but Warfel's narrative is limp and never bends into a "Twilight Zone" twist, where the irreal and everyday can converge into a weird and frightening new reality. Worse, his scenario inflates and wheezes with hazy philosophical folderol.
Ultimately, "The Fall of Night" descends into dark tedium, indicative of the filmmaker's unsure story grasp. Ghostly passages, including some deft low-budget special effects, stir our interest but don't compensate for the lax scripting. Similarly, the solid cast - Persia White, Bruce Michael Hall, Tony Longo - manages to stoke our interest but can't overcome the film's much-less-than Serling inventiveness.
