Now Watching: FORCE OF EVIL (1948) Dir. by Abraham

Now Watching: FORCE OF EVIL (1948)
Dir. by Abraham Polonsky

Starring: John Garfield, Thomas Gomez, Marie Windsor, Beatrice Pearson

Synopsis: Lawyer Joe Morse works for a powerful gangster, Tucker, who wishes to consolidate and control the numbers racket in New York City. This requires absorbing many smaller outfits, one of which is run by Morse’s older brother, Leo.

Only watched 1/3 of the way and the story seems very relevant even today. Good cast of corporate baddies stealing from the workers. Not a fan of how the female characters are written but it’s a product of its time.

Going back to it now. I need to see how all this will unfold…

Last week, I attended a special screening of DRIVE BACK HOME (2024) in #Toronto.

This Canadian drama is written and directed by Michael Clowater.

Set in 1970, the film stars Charlie Creed-Miles as Weldon, a blue-collar plumber from New Brunswick who has been forced to travel to Toronto to bail his estranged brother Perley (Alan Cumming) out of jail following his arrest.

The film is funny, poignant, relatable and reminds us that we can sometimes go home again… great cast as well!

PÁRVULOS: CHILDREN OF THE APOCALYPSE

New Film🚨 PÁRVULOS: CHILDREN OF THE APOCALYPSE by Mexican filmmaker Isaac Ezban.

This film uses horror/zombie elements to bring us a coming-of-age, family connection film through the eyes of three young brothers.

I spoke w/Isaac about the cast, story & other essential details.

Recommended! ¡Se la recomiendo!

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean -

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean - ‘tame’?”
“It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means
to establish ties.”
“’To establish ties’?”
“Just that,” said the fox…

I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...”

From Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s THE LITTLE PRINCE, published on this day in 1943.

It’s 2038 and tech-giant Edison is set to introduce a line of self-driving trucks. You’ve been invited to a retirement speech for the last truck driver in America.

The best 1 hour spent this week. Witty & timely commentary on work, AI & other current societal anxieties. Huge shoutout to the cast and crew for making us laugh, ponder and discuss as we continue to live in a world where our humanity is constantly being tested.
