PROJECTING FILM: Thirst Street (Notting Hill meets Chuck & Buck)

Posted by Michael Denniston on September 23, 2017

We decide to do a bit of traveling with new release THIRST STREET, which has us discussing home invasion films of a different sort. One involves the perpetually anxious Hugh Grant having his routine put upon by a beautiful and successful movie star, and the other involves this podcast's personal sex icon of Mike White. If that's not a strange enough mashup for you... well, come back next episode! But you'll miss Dan from Get Reel Movies as he reacts to the trailer for this new sex thriller, as well as the usual "obnoxious Americans." Which one can only presume will be the words used in our very first iTunes review.

ALSO: Sexy obnoxious Americans. Just wanted to reiterate that for the SEO results we are after with this film podcast.

AGAINST THE NIGHT review

2017
Directed by: Brian Cavallaro
Starring: Hannah Kleeman, Tim Tore, Luke Persiani and Frank Whaley

Hank is an ambitious young filmmaker who convinces a group of his friends to set out "ghost hunting" in an abandoned prison. He pays them each $200 so can film them and use the project as a calling card to move on to bigger things. Or what he sees as undertakings more worthy of his perceived talent. He wants to make it as a legitimate director but in his estimation, the only way to make money in indie film is in ghost hunting and porn.

I'm not sure if the location was found or built but it goes a long way in separating AGAINST THE NIGHT from other genre films. The prison is dripping with a rich history that feels somehow lived in and forgotten. The characters even mention how filming in this location will add "production value" to their project, and it does. The prison is setup like a wheel with the guard's station being the circular center and the inmate&#…

Interview w/ Jeff Kopas director/writer of BLOOD HONEY

Today our guest on the show is Jeff Kopas, writer/director behind the new film BLOOD HONEY. For more information on the film and where you can see it go to https://www.bloodhoneymovie.com/

Summoned by her dying father, Jenibel Heath (Shenae Grimes-Beech), after a decade away, reluctantly returns to her beautiful island home, a remote fly-in hunting and fishing lodge. Waiting for her is bitter family dysfunction and the nightmare of her last childhood memory: the suicide of her mother. Soon, Jenibal finds herself burdened with selling off the family lodge, against the wishes of her family and friends. In a harrowing passage through guilt, loyalty, and devastating memories, Jenibel navigates an obstacle course of personal torment that pushes her psyche to the breaking point. What begins as a journey of forgiveness, devolves into a fatal nightmare and a struggle to maintain not just her sanity, but her life.

TIFF review PORCUPINE LAKE

2017 Directed by: Ingrid Veninger Starring: Charlotte Salisbury and Lucinda Armstrong Hall
PORCUPINE LAKE opens on Bea (Salisbury) as she rests in the back of her parent’s station wagon, peacefully unaware of the quiet tension that fills the front half of the vehicle. The juxtaposition of a picturesque countryside and her parent’s uncomfortable silence evokes a strange feeling of melancholy while staring through the lens of something utterly beautiful. The family is traveling across a Norman Rockwell like landscape to take over a restaurant bequeathed from Bea’s grandfather.
The “Snack Shack”, situated in Port Severn Ontario, represents a missed opportunity for this struggling young family to start over. Scotty sees this as a chance to fix up the place and make a go of it, while Ally is only interested in selling. Ally and Scotty, absorbed with their own problems and mounting tensions from the restaurant leave Bea mostly to her own devices.
One morning, while Bea is enjoying some of…
