Saw X and The Conjuring will make you feel fear at Six Flags, Fright Fest 2023
By GalaTView Staff
“You can’t escape” of the 30th chilling years of the best mazes of Los Angeles, CA. This celebration comes with tons of fun of the Fright Fest 2023. Guess will enjoy 8 hunted houses but the favorite is Saw X which is full of the iconic scenes of the film. Actors, ambience and more are well structured elements of pain, suffering and good scenes with real actors. The Conjuring and SAW X. Both will be open Sept. 29-30 and Oct. 1, 6-8, 12-15, 18-22 and 25-31. Obviously, Condemned House Party, Truth or Dare, Willouhgby’s Resurrected, Wault 666:Unlocked, Sewer of Souls and Aftermath 2:Chaos Rising are the most visited mazes of several them parks from California. All hunted areas are incredible and fun, lots of fog and red lights and creatures and statues that make it cool but long lines of people so guess must be patient. During fright fest you have random people walking around trying to scare you. It is awesome. They are so into character that it makes it fun. In general is a kind of tradition for a lot of people and the ghouls were everywhere… and would jump out and scare you all throughout the park–which always kept it exciting. The creepy music definitely added to the experience, which was nice. I also want to congratulate to the Media organizers for their excellent attention and kindness. Definitely “you can’t escape of the fun and fear as every year!

I was skeptical about this play because the novel is a master piece of Victor Hugo in 1862 was the first time published. However, it has been adapted as a vivid play-with-music and has its fair share of interesting and even poignant moments, where production feels surprisingly energetic and really becomes much livelier when it reaches the best of the cast feelings with some stories delivered via monologues; divided in two acts, this play had a well-structured contemporary drama. I was speechless because it has been considered as one of the best musical plays in theatrical history and this one, particularly, makes you feel into the story.
All performers moved the heart in an emotional state of love and connection with all parts in the musical with impressive singing with all the musicians’ participation. There were notable standouts especially in each act and songs with the main actors such as Nick Cartell, Preston Truman, Steve Czarnecki, Daniel Gerard Bittner, Eden Mau, Emily Some and more. The Orchestra conductor is Brian Eads with his extraordinary talent.
Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, made the best and memorable play in Los Angeles where you might enjoy for six weeks at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from August 1 – September 10, 2023. Definitely, it is worth to see this phenomenal play.

A new film worth to see “Midday Black Midnight Blue,” with Samantha Soule as a writer and co- director Daniel Talbott; begins with Ian (Chris Stack ), a character full of deep feelings in an empty house, and memories for his wife who died two decades ago, make us thinking of our daily existence turning ever darker, especially when he never finds a way to let her go.
The darkest memories and regrets get Ian’s mind but his loyalty for his dead wife is stronger, despite of his self-punishment. Definitely a film full human emotions but contradictions as well for all who pursuits the true love accompany of pain and tolerance for your partner.
Chile '76 a film of different sides

An important Chilean film is coming with Chile ’76 (1976) by Manuela Martelli and Francisca Alegría.
All begins in the early days of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship; Chile ’76 builds from a quiet character study to a gripping suspense thriller as it explores one woman’s precarious flirtation with political engagement. Carmen (Aline Kuppenheim) leads a sheltered upper-middle-class existence. The story unfolds as she heads to her summer house in the off-season to supervise its renovation, while her husband, children, and grandchildren visit on and off, bringing reminders of the world beyond. When the family priest asks her to take care of an injured young man he has been sheltering in secret, Carmen is inadvertently drawn into the world of the Chilean political opposition and must face real-world threats she is unprepared to handle, with potentially disastrous consequences for her and her entire family.
Psychologically all characters have a fear, all the political movements of that time affect directly to their social life. Some characters suffer paranoia and heroic moments as well. While a dark moment reflect the reality of that time, the main characters face margination, suffering and power of decision. Definitely, a film that must be seen.

LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE

From the well-known director Eleanor Coppola (Paris Can Wait, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse), LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE tells three stories that explore love, commitment, and loyalty between couples and friends. In the film’s first story TWO FOR DINNER, a married couple (Joanne Whalley and Chris Messina) find an unconventional way to transcend long distance through technology, but discover they were farther apart than they knew. In SAILING LESSON, a long-married couple (Kathy Baker and Marshall Bell) tries to reignite their honeymoon-phase heat through a spontaneous sailing trip… and unexpected events arise. And in LATE LUNCH, a young woman (Maya Kazan) who recently lost her mother gathers together a group of her mother’s friends (including Cybill Shepherd, Rosanna Arquette, and Rita Wilson) to share memories. Surprising revelations ensue.
Definitely, this film makes it memorable because talks about love in different forms so the viewer might make it predictable but at the end is unsatisfactory. Love usually refers to an experience one person feels for another. Love often involves caring for, or identifying with, a person or thing but here all elements are not clear for most of the characters. A film worth to see in order to think about what is love?
Throughout all three stories, Coppola uses a light touch and naturalistic ease to find the heart of the deepest friendships and romances.
LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE was produced by Anahid Nazarian (Tetro, Youth Without Youth), and is an American Zoetrope production. It premiered at the 2020 Deauville Film Festival and was also an official 2020 Tribeca Film Festival selection.
Blue Fox Entertainment will release LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE on VOD Tuesday, December 14.
