Just One More is now available for streaming on Angel. The film is an emotionally charged coming-of-age story that straddles the delicate line between redemption and despair. Directed by the duo of Kaleb Michael Cook and Kyler David Cook, this indie film showcases performances from Emma Filley, Christian McCartney, Lily Brody, and Lance E. Nichols.

The story revolves around Jess (played by Filley), a recovering addict wrestling with the ghosts of her past. Battling against her personal demons, Jess's life intersects with that of Charles (Nichols), a man facing his own mortality, fervently hoping to be of service to the world “just one more time.” This connection leads Jess to a pair of youthful companions, Xavier (McCartney) and Raya (Brody), as their intertwined lives unfold within the confines of both heartbreak and hope. As Jess embarks on this improbable journey, she grapples with the themes of forgiveness and healing, ultimately discovering the strength to reclaim her future from the clutches of addiction.

Ah, remember those blissful days when movies lingered in theaters for four to five months, allowing us to revel in the big screen magic before succumbing to the temptations of rental shelves at Blockbuster? It feels like a lifetime ago. Nowadays, films seem to sprint from the silver screen to digital rental platforms in the blink of an eye—just weeks after their theatrical debut! It's a perplexing shift, leaving me pondering if studios might pocket more dough by keeping their cinematic gems out of our living rooms a little longer. But I digress—who am I, just a seasoned moviegoer mourning the golden age of cinema?

So, let’s venture into the world of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, shall we? This is the third and final chapter of the beloved Downton Abbey movie saga—though I can't help but wonder if some ambitious soul might just whip up another spinoff or tempting remake down the line. Let’s not dwell on that unsettling possibility just yet. The film made its grand entrance in cinemas on September 12, and within a mere month, it’s already gracing digital platforms for rent and purchase. Apparently, it managed to rake in around $80 million at the box office—not too shabby for a British series born from the hallowed halls of PBS! Who would have imagined a $50 million budget finale sprouting from a humble TV show?
