Please Won't You Be My Reporter?



     This week we wonder into the bayou of our own journalistic integrities or get our veal kink on? I'm still not sure but I assure you that both movies this week are very telling about all our mental states. Probably. Not. But that sure does sound better.
     First up is a harrowing trek through the sultry, sticky, sweaty, campy, melodramatic that is life in Florida but this time with a pair of journalists trying to free a convicted killer at the behest of his prison pen pal who is really ready to jump his funny bone (funny because it's inverted) while a recent college washout looks on. Lee Daniels gets all over the top style and a performance that nabbed his star the coveted Alliance of Women Film Journalists "Actress Most in Need of a New Agent" award... The Paperboy.
     Visiting on sweaty Southern state isn't enough. So we make a detour to Cutter, Mississippi... a town where everyone is either working for the local drug distribution network, the state police, or Troy's Meat Packing and Exotic Safaris. After returning from the military to his boring old job loading cars with coke and hot swapping plates, John, played by The Collector's Josh Stewart, is desperate to get away. Tragically, his wife Rosie, played by Alex Essoe of Starry Eyes, makes the really stupid mistake of watching their neighbor, Bill Engvall channelling all his anger at not being the break out Blue Collar Comedy star, shoot someone he was going to butcher for hungry New Yorkers with a taste for redneck flesh. Written and directed by the team behind The Collection, beware of The Neighbor.

     Plus... Dave gushes about a True American Hero, Tyler hits triple digit views of a very special film, Kevin makes a choice, and Chris gets served with a protection order by his favorite West Virginia native. Join us, won't you?
