Synopsis

Ronnie and his son Brayden run Big Ronnie’s Disco Walking Tour, the best and only Disco walking tour in Los Angeles. Ronnie, a delusional relic from the disco era, hides a terrible secret from his shy browbeaten man-child son Brayden. During one tour, both men take a fancy to Janet, a curly redhead who takes a shine to a disbelieving Brayden. The two begin a whirlwind courtship, much to Ronnie’s dismay. In the city of Lost Angeles, a Greasy Strangler begins stalking the streets. As this father-son love triangle intensifies, and the killings continue, Brayden starts to suspect his own father.

Voyage of Time

It is both a great week for limited releases and a terrible one. While there are a number of fantastic films, like Under the Shadow for example, there are very few that have a legitimate shot at box office success. The usual reason for this is Video on Demand. Voyage of Time will likely be the biggest hit on this week’s list, but as an IMAX film, it will likely be in theaters for years. More...
