#29 I’ve Got a Movie to Make: Ben May Be Next (Week 29 of 116)

0

If it’s not Battle at Skunk Skull that this feed will end up being all about, it will have to be something I’ve been calling “Ben”. I talk a little bit about that plot and about who I’ve always imagined Ben to be. I might just have a connection and will be figuring that out in the next few weeks.

Thanks for listening!

I speak a little bit about the Blu-ray production progress or lack of progress and then move onto the frustration of not having any way of knowing if Groupers is performing on Amazon.

Here’s a link to the official trailer that I’ve been sitting on for too long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o61oUrPdglI

Review: The Force Is Lacking With ‘Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker’

0
In the summer of 1977, my brother and I rushed out of the Roxy Theater in Tacoma, Washington. We had just seen Star Wars for the first time, mock-light-saber-battling all the way to the car. I cajoled my parents into taking me 7 more times in the next few months, and so a Star Wars fan was born. Some version of my story has been told a million times over and, like so many other Star Wars fans, my relationship with the many sequels, prequels, and stand-alone films in the series, has been complicated. But, no matter what, when the first words of the crawl appear on-screen, and the John Williams score swells, I can’t help but get chills.

It’s the last show of 2019 and all the big Oscar hopefuls are flooding the theaters. The final few films that will be trickling in over the last couple weeks are covered and a bunch that have been seen since last episode are blathered about.

We got into a discussion about The Lighthouse right after the show ended. Huge regret for not including this. It will get it’s due on the episode 110.

Daisy Ridley Is Glad The Gang’s Back Together With ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’

The debate will forever rage on regarding The Last Jedi, but whether or not you love or disliked the feature, one fact is true: Rey, Poe Dameron, and Finn didn’t spend much quality time together. During the world premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Daisy Ridley discussed why having the gang back together was needed.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Days of Wine and Roses’ Features Jack Lemmon And Lee Remick At Their Finest

0
The Warner Archive Collection contains a treasure trove of classics, and though I consider myself an avid film buff, it’s a shame it took me 48 years to finally catch Days of Wine and Roses. The alcoholism storyline kept me at bay all of these years, and even if that aspect may give you pause as well, move forward and check out this absolute gem!

I’m a sucker for gangster films, and director Danny A. Abeckaser (First We Take Brooklyn) refreshingly subverts the genre by telling the story through the eyes of state trooper Ed Croswell (David Arquette) in Mob Town. Check out my interview below with Abeckaser as he talked about the challenges of directing as well as acting in his sophomore feature.

I spoke with the distributor about how things are going and what happened with Canada. Also have some updates on the Blu-ray production, not great news, but not terrible either. I get a little heavy at the end, thought about cutting it, then thought that would be dishonest.

Thanks for listening!

Robbie Amell Cites Passion As The Key To Success Behind ‘Code 8’

Robbie Amell in "Code 8." (Vertical Entertainment)
If you need a bit of grounded reality in a comic book/dystopian future driven flick, Code 8 fits the bill. Directed by Jeff Chan from his 2016 short, the narrative centers on Connor (Robbie Amell), a young man who uses his powers (he can manipulate electricity) to join a criminal outfit and use his earnings to pay for his dying mother’s (Cari Matchett) medical bills. My interview with Amell, as well as more info on the film, is below!

Review: Science Fiction Thriller ‘Code 8’ Thrives On Lean Yet Superpowered Storytelling

Robbie Amell in "Code 8." (Vertical Entertainment)
One of my major gripes with comic book films lies in the overall stakes of the game. Although Earth or maybe even the universe is in danger, the main superheroes often live to fight another day. Code 8 throws a highly welcome wrench to the proceedings, as the superhumans are now behind the proverbial eight ball, and their lives are precariously hanging in the balance.
