KABOOM

8/21/2011

 
Caught this quirky left of center but refreshing movie called KABOOM (2010) last night and enjoyed it greatly.  Was not sure where it was ever going and I felt like the explanation played out well.  The actors were very good including the lead character played by Thomas Dekker.  What a nice performance.  Also good showings by Haley Bennett, Chris Zylka, Juno Temple, and Roxane Mesquida. Written and Directed by Gregg Araki, this film and story have great pace.  Not your everyday offering but then isn't that what we want sometimes?

THE BOX

8/14/2011

 
Caught THE BOX (2009) last night.  This Richard Kelly directed dark thriller with Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, and Frank Langella, was based off of a short story by Richard Matheson titled "Button, Button".  I didn't think the story was expanded on very well as I was confused with some of the explanations or lack of given for what was going on.  As usual, Langella put in a nice performance, but I felt Diaz and Marsden  were a bit stiff.  Hard to recommend this one.

Audition Update

8/7/2011

 
Last week Friday, 7/29, had a straight to callback audition in Wilmington with the Fincannons's for ONE TREE HILL, playing a psychiatrist.  Was pretty happy with audition.  I did some things I had planned and some not.  Did not get cast again!

INSIDIOUS

8/7/2011

 
Finally saw INSIDIOUS (2010), the little horror film that could it seems from the reviews.  Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne did a nice job with this pretty good creep fest.  Some of the "wouldn't you like call the cops or something" moments seemed to stretch believability but the story and humorous "ghost crew" mixed well with the creep factor.  And creep factor there was!  Barbara Hershey adds a nice touch as the mother and unknown secret holder.  Lin Shaye was a delight as the head psychic.  Worth seeing with the lights out.
