Movie Premiere
Anchor Eddy's
I went to the premiere of David Dellecese's new movie Anchor Eddy's and it was fantastic! A packed house at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, NY roared with delight throughout this beach romp. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at anything put out by Hollywood. The independent movie scene is bursting with talent. Dave and his co-writer Demian Morrisroe write terrific scripts. The acting was superb as was the cinematography.
The Matador
I rented the movie The Matador with Peirce Brosnan and it was a hoot! The former 007 plays a burnt out hitman. It baffles me how these great movies slip through the cracks while crapola rises to the top. I'm not sure if it's marketing or what have you. All I know is this gem of a movie is well worth the 1.5 hours of your life.
Drive
This slim noir book has to be pound-for-pound the best of it's genre ever. James Sallis creates a world hidden from us boring 9 to 5 people. It's about Driver who drives stunt cars in Hollywood and also sub-contract his services for robberies. He doesn't care what the job is. "I drive, that's all I do." I can see why Hollywood bought the rights to this and will be making a movie. Phenomenal writing in a short punch. Another great book from Poisoned Pen Press.
Next Book
My next read is Nightwatch by Sergei Lukyanenko. He's the acclaimed Russian author of thrillers. I found this book when I was wandering Barnes and Noble reading the back covers, searching for my next printed treasure.
