Perfect Feet (2019)
Feet, it's what you walk on!!!!!
Great doc looking at our feet. Calvin Harris tells a captivating and humorous story exploring every step of feet and footwear. I may never walk the same.
Dirty Beautiful (2015)
Dirty Beautiful is simply beautiful filmmaking
The movie reminds me of Days of Wine and Roses and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind if it had crashed into my twenties. This film is excellent. Tim Bartell's direction is solid in this well paced drama - he uses a deft hand guiding the wonderful performances of Ricky Mabe and Jordan Monaghan. Dirty Beautiful is simply beautiful filmmaking.
Our Friend Jon (2020)
Our Friend Jon breaks your heart and gets you excited about film all at the same time.
I saw Our Friend Jon last night at the Valley Film Festival here in Los Angeles in the valley. Just a terrific documentary about the making of a movie written by a Jon Hernandez who passed from Sickle cell anemia before the film could be made. The filmmakers of the film within the doc all have special needs or disabilities which don't seem to get in the way of their passion about making Jon's horror film come to life. It was inspiring to see, as my step father had spina bifida which one of the filmmakers, the director of the doc's brother, Garret Payson also has and to see him over come his disability and finish the film is truly inspiring. And a close relative of mine is autistic and my wife has worked with kids with special needs for years - so it was wonderful to see a film highlight the talents of people who often get over looked in our society.
I went into the screening not knowing anything about the movie. The last time I did that was my friend's doc, Dear Zachary, and the result was me being a blubbering mess as I cried my eyes out at the twists and turns of that documentary. Our Friend Jon did the same to me last night although I am happy to say the film has an optimistic ending that should inspire any burgeoning filmmaker.
I highly recommend the film.
