Hard Miles (2023)
Listen to Modine speak as I write this @ cinequest
All I have to say from a man who spent considerable amount of time incarcerated in juvenile facilities in the system that aged out of foster care that total lives and positive life and prides myself as a movie buff
I found this film to be so extremely real and entertaining
Everyone did great the story was awesome the entire thing just hit hard.... I'm so happy to have seen it at cinequest film festival and that I got to here it's start speak about his approach to art. I really enjoyed this film. The cinematography was great the scenery was beautiful, the story was well written, and the young actors worked so well together... What a positive film.
À plein temps (2021)
In the pursuit of happiness, very relatable
Pretty much this and a pursuit of happiness are the most relatable movie I've seen to a period in my life that though hard played a big roll in making me the man I am today. Living in any major city in American can be tough high rents, low wages, marital issues... It's really tough to be a single parent especially if you don't have grandparents or family support. Watching this women sprint to a train, hustle at work, rely on the blessings of dumb luck to get home and back to work is exactly the agst and anxiety that was my life for over a decade. This film is honest and tough to watch at moments. The director did a great job of making every moment feel tense and rushed..... Because that's what it feels like in that situation always. Here are two all the hardworking good parents building trampolines in the dark when they have to get up early..... Great movie.
Fresh Kills (2023)
Great first effort, I enjoyed a lot about it
I was lucky enough to catch the premier at the cinequest film festival. I love the idea of a mob movie told from perspective of the women it affects. The anxiety, the danger, the violence. As with the men the idea of not being able to walk away and protecting the family that exposes you to so much trauma and heartache is a powerful study. Visually it's beautiful and captures the era. Great camera work, effects, and costume design. I've never seen the lead in anything else but she makes the movie.... The lack of dialogue she tells a story with her eyes. The sister played by Pamela aldon daughter was dope she was like the female version of Pac in Juice. I guess my only critiques would be the lack of music in the first act, the rushed pacing together to the climax, and how quickly the climactic event got us over tue finish line. I wish In The best part of the film there was more remorse from shown from the father. All in all Jennifer Espisoto did a great job. It was a great first film that I highly recommend.
Hell or High Water (2016)
Ben Foster should have won the Oscar for best supporting
That's all I came to say, that and this film is in my top 20 all time
