Tribeca Festival / Review : Everyone Will Love “Somewhere in Queens”

Take a seat if you’re not already sitting down. What I’m about to say might shock many of you. I never really cared about Everybody Loves Raymond. I have no personal distaste for the show itself, or Ray Romano…it was just never my kind of thing. Naturally, I have no real connection to Romano or…

The Midnight section of the Tribeca Film Festival programs “the best in horror, sci-fi, and cult cinema for the late-night crowd.” That’s certainly a good descriptor for Ultrasound, which finds a man in way over his head after his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.
