A band straying into a secluded part of the Pacific Northwest
stumbles onto a horrific act of violence. Because they are the only witnesses,
they become the targets of a terrifying gang of skinheads who want to make sure
all the evidence is eliminated. Written by Aymanati (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
GREENROOM is written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, and
produced by Neil Kopp & Victor Moyers. For me this was one of those films I
heard good things about before even seeing the trailer. Upon seeing the trailer
I got a better idea of what this film was going to bring to the table. Then to
finally get to see it, man I was tense as fuck. This indeed was or is the type
of film I enjoy “the who is going to survive” type that well, could happen to
just about anyone given the right situation. Obviously the setting the of this
film to me added to the intense drama as a skinhead club/bar would not be a
place you’d find my black ass, but hey to each their own. I also thought the
performance of Anton Yelchin (Pat) and Patrick Stewart (Darcy) was incredibly believable.
So as for GREENROOM I give it 4 stars as an extremely entertaining film.
Welcome, here is another fashion / lifestyle sketch that I worked on and I'm calling it "Homecoming". If you'd like to see me working on this sketch check out this link toWATCH ME DRAW #10 . Enjoy!
Joy has always been fascinated by creating things; This pursuit
was always supported emotionally by her maternal grandmother, Mimi. Joy feels
that lack of practical support has led to others making fortunes on ideas she
came up with years ago but could not act upon manufacturing. Despite being
broke, Joy is the person in her extended family to whom everyone has always
turned, in the process forgoing her own life, including not having attended
college to help see her parents through their divorce. She works in an
unsatisfying job as an Eastern Airlines ticket clerk; and lives with her mother
Terry who spends all day in bed watching soap operas; her ex-husband Tony, a
less than successful aspiring Latino Tom Jones
wannabe; and their two children. Added to this mix is her father Rudy, the
owner of a failing heavy-duty garage, which is managed by Joy's older half-sister
Peggy, with whom she has somewhat of a strained relationship, and for which Joy
does the books. Sharon, Rudy's latest ... Written by Huggo(Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
JOY is directed by David O. Russell, written by David O.
Russell & Annie Mumolo, produced by John Davis, Megan Ellison, Jonathan Gordon,
& Ken Mok. Being familiar with the body of work of David O. Russell I have
grown to like his sensibilities as a film director. I have enjoy his comedic
themes and stories as well as his flair for the dramatic which could clearly
been seen in SILVERLINGS PLAYBOOK. So when I heard he had directed another film
entitled JOY based on a true story using just about the same cast I knew at
some point I’d have to see that film. Since watching the film I film much like
I do when I see films based on reality which is I’d rather not have know as for
some reason stories based on real life lack the “magic” as a viewer that fiction
films carry. I know that is a strange critique, but I have felt this way about
even the best films based on real life. Anyway, I also felt this film lacked
the quirky comedic genius of FLIRTING WITH DISASTER or even SILVERLINGS
PLAYBOOK, which I love from David O. Russell. The story is definitely an
uplifting tale and I love that also each actor in the cast does great work. So
for JOY I give it 4 stars.
When drug violence worsens on the USA Mexico border, the FBI
sends an idealistic agent, Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) on a mission to eradicate a

SCIARIO is directed by Denis Villeneuve, written by Taylor
Sheridan, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill, and
Molly Smith. This a film that when
seeing the trailer seemed confusing and hard to say what the story was about,
but at the same time it was totally engaging and made me want to see it. The
fact that Benicio Del Toro was in it also made it a film I needed to see. Yet
as I crossed my fingers, that it would be nothing like the film SAVAGES I
continued to seek it out. My hope was confirmed as the actual film was
entertaining and held my attention throughout. I think the way the viewer was
given just enough information to understand the premise helped the unfolding of
the story that much more riveting. In the end the film in my opinion has the
elements in the story that stick with you yet I wouldn’t call it an Oscar level
film, but definitely a film I won’t soon forget. So for SCIARIO I give it 3 ½
stars, hey why not 4.
