Flip the Script!
July 23rd, 2007by Enrique Cruz
Every Friday afternoon that I’m in town I usually pop over to watch the latest Flick-of-the-week at the local Movie Theater here in Jersey! — except this weak’s offerings of Sandler’s “Chuck and Larry,” or the snoozer musical: “Hairspray,” didn’t didn’t seem like too much fun. And, as a former film student, I’m usually up for anything in a dark theater….almost anything I guess.
Instead, I spent some of the weekend catching up on movies at home — ‘finally saw “Quinceanera,” which I really liked.
Also checked out: “The Wicker Man.” — which must have seemed better on the page…but, the script was a little off.
I laughed my ass off at Will Ferrell’s “Talladega Nights” — which I was sure was going to be another stupid racing film…instead, turned out to be a smart comedy about dumb people…makes me go “hmmmm, I really wanna do that.”
(not go race car driving…but, make smart movies)
I spoke to a few friends about dusting off my own “Indie-chops” this year (and even shared one of my scripts in a writer’s workshop earlier this year) ….So, I might get off my ass and actually shoot an erotic short film (clean enough to play in film festivals).
We’ll see how things progress…of course, if I do, it would be fun to blog about it.
