The Bastard Sons (2023)
Interdonato & Sernio hit it out of the park!
Gritty, suspenseful, intense and shocking. This movie is everything you want to see in a mobster movie without all the stereotypes! Filmed mainly in Toms River and Asbury Park New Jersey, the scenery is authentic. Locals will recognize places such as North Beach and The Wonder Bar and other viewers will see the "real" Jersey Shore. The acting is phenomenal. The on scene chemistry between the characters felt very familial. The music and videography techniques helped the viewer "feel" the intensity of each scene's intentions. The storyline flowed seamlessly. This movie left me wanting more. It's a 10 from me!
Misanthrope (2023)
Raw, current and completely possible storyline
Not what I expected from Shailene Woodley, but a stellar performance.
Let's hit the elephant in the room first, being a Marylander, it's grossly clear this was neither filmed in Baltimore, nor showcased the local accent. That being said, the story line is eerily reminiscent of The Beltway Shooter crossed with the "new norm" in America.
However, without giving away the ending, the twist is epic.
The end story is so real, it hurts. In every way possible, this film takes emotions from uncomfortable to understanding to complete respect in many ways.
I would definitely watch this again.
TW: Pretty gorey scenes.
