This coming Monday, I will be lucky enough to attend a screening of the latest Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club, Survivor, Invisible Monsters) adapted novel “Choke”.
I’m well excited not only to see this film, but to meet writer/director/actor Clark Gregg and actor Sam Rockwell. Sam is a phenomenal talent, you might remember him opposite of Nick Cage in “Matchstick Men” or more recently opposite Brad Pitt in “The Assassination of Jesse James”. Both are incredible movies.
Speaking of Mr. Rockwell, I just finished watching “Snow Angels” with my film school buddy Jason Baxter. This is a must see - it just hit the shelves so think about picking it up the next time you’re looking for a good dvd to watch. Snow Angels has that sticky effect, it’s been a hours since I’ve seen it, yet I’m still thinking about that ending…wow!
So, that’s about it for now. Gonna hit the sack. Will be posting my review of Choke Tuesday morning - so look out for that. Also will be posting The Slackmistress interview pretty soon and a handful of fresh articles about screenwriting and filmmaking, so stay tuned.
Here is the trailer for Choke…courtesy of Fox Searchlight.
