Northwood Pie (2019)
The Next Richard Linklater/Steven Spielberg
A refreshing and well crafted coming of age movie like this is just what we need. With this being Jay Salahi's feature debut, you can already see a very nuanced and measured writer/director who knows the cinematic language incredibly well and is a fan himself. Names like Richard Linklater and Steven Spielberg come to mind when I think of the feeling and look of this movie. Also amazing performances by the lead and co-writer Todd Knaak as well as his incredible female counter part Annika Foster. Shout out to all the supporting cast as well because you can see the director knew that a movie can live and die by its supporting players. A must see which I would strongly recommend anyone to check out. Can't wait to see what Jay Salahi does next!
Once Upon a Superhero (2018)
An Insane Wild Ride
Within 10 minutes I knew this movie was unique and different. The writer/director John Kline as woven a strange a darkly beautiful tale about an outsider that may or may not be an alien. And because Kline is ambiguous he allows you to participate in the film as opposed to being force fed everything like most films. The performances were great, the costumes looked awesome and the look and tone reminds me of something from 'Under the Skin' which I loved. I think we have a new great filmmaker on our hands and I'm excited to see what John Kline does next!
