His earliest memories are of watching movies ranging from Tim Burton’s Batman to Back to the Future; which some would consider to be a horror film (his mom wants to sleep with him – come on). He spent his time in undergrad at Saginaw Valley State University where he study the craft of acting. He starred in over 20 productions there including Pippin, The Crucible, The Andrews Brothers, and One for the Pot. He also received the award for Outstanding Theatre Major during his senior year. Caleb decided to continue his theatrical education by attending grad school at Eastern Michigan University, where he received an MA in theatre performance. There he developed his love for teaching and furthered his love of movie watching. Caleb is currently an Adjunct Instructor at SVSU, where he teaches theatre to non-theatre majors and education majors. In 2017, Caleb decided to develop his own creative outlet that would fulfill his desire to perform and his desire to watch movies. So, he launched his YouTube channel called Caleb Watches Movies, where he randomly selects films that he owns from all genres and produces a review from the average person’s perceptive. It is a great mixture of humor, performance, realness, and honesty. The channel has seen tremendous growth in a short amount of time, and it is also Caleb’s catalyst to etch his legacy in a recorded medium. He currently resides in Kalamazoo, MI with his wife, cat-sons and cat-daughters. https://www.youtube.com/c/CalebWatchesMovies https://www.facebook.com/CalebWatchesMovies https://twitter.com/Calebwatchmovie www.instagram.com/calebwatchesmovies/ THE DARK END OF THE STREET (2020)
25/8/2020
Written and Directed by Kevin Tran
Starring Scott Friend, Brooke Bloom, Lindsay Burdge, Jim Parrack, Anthony Chisolm Residents of a suburban community enjoy a night at home with their friends and family, while an ominous threat looms just outside their doors.
The Dark End of the Street is a slice of life ensemble narrative following a group of neighbors over the course of one night as a deranged man (Rod Luzzi) stalks the area killing pets. The neighbors are Jim (Scott Friend) and Patty (Lindsay Burdge), a newlywed couple about to have their first child, Jim’s friend Richard (Jim Parrack), Marney (Brooke Bloom) a lonely woman whose cat was killed and her elderly neighbor Ian (Anthony Chisolm), a young Korean family (Daniel K. Isaac, Jennifer Kim, and Kasey Lee) and a group of skateboarders.
From there the film moves at a leisurely pace, jumping back and forth between Jim partying to avoid the looming responsibility of fatherhood, Marney grieving for her dead cat and opening up to the elderly Ian, the skateboarders skating around town and rehearsing with their metal band. As Jim stumbles home drunk from the party and the skateboarders plan to go out for a late night session, the deranged pet killer prowls the streets and the stories collide. Writer/director Kevin Tran creates a mosaic of interesting characters, embodied by a strong ensemble of actors who create genuinely poignant and memorable moments here. The standouts being Brooke Bloom, Anthony Chisolm and Jim Parrack. Unfortunately, the narrative doesn’t culminate in a satisfying way and we’re left wanting more. But nevertheless, the rich performances on display are more than enough reason to give this one a look and to keep an eye out for Kevin Tran’s next project. 3 out of 5 stars Review by Kyle Hintz THE HEART AND SOUL OF HORROR MOVIE REVIEW WEBSITESCaleb Watches Movies, returns to Ginger Nuts of Horror with a review of We Are Little Zombies.

What follows is an onslaught of drugs, sex and violence as our alien tourist enters the weird and wonderful world of humankind.
