At The Drive-In

I remember Drive-Ins... From sleeping in the concession stand to working entirely for free, the quirky film fanatics at the struggling Mahoning Drive-in face uncertainty when Hollywood announces it will switch to digital projection for all new movies. Unable to purchase an expensive digital projector, the Mahoning gang pin their hopes of survival on showing only vintage 35mm film prints on their original 1949 projectors. Relive their underdog story to save film, the Mahoning Drive-in, and drive-in theaters everywhere.  "Technology moves so fast today, faster than ever before. As technology distracts us from one another and segments us further into smaller audiences, it was just magical to see a bunch of people gather together in rural Pennsylvania to watch film flicker through a projector from 1948," Alexander Monelli, director. "That's ultimately what this documentary is about." At The Drive-in won "Best Local Feature" at the 26th annual Philadelphia Film Festival. It has also screened at multiple Alamo Drafthouses and at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood as an official selection of Dances With Films. Bonus Materials Over 17 Minutes of Deleted Scenes Three Separate Feature Length Commentary Tracks (two with cast and one with director) 30-minute Q&A from Alamo Drafthouse Screening Trailer

Monday Motivation

Money, Money, Money
Robert Downey, Jr.

"Bitch better have my money!, Please don't call me on my bluff" - Rihanna, Bitch Better Have My Money

Today's Monday Motivation is pure unadulterated greed. That's right minions, money, it makes the world go round and puts a smile on your face when you can spend it freely and give unto others as they maybe would to you. 

So I am meditating about bringing mass quantities of it into my realm. You know master of my domain type of stuff.

Don't judge my pursuit of the material today, if you see it this way, keep it to yourself and move on. Money is my Monday Motivation jam at present. Carry on, as you were...

Immersive - Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists

Big Screen Perfection

Once upon a time in Hollywood, well OK, yesterday in Hollywood Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists Immersive Experience happened at The Hollywood Athletic Club.

Being a HUGE PLL fan you know I just had to go, and go I did! Upon entry I was surrounded with the atmosphere of the town of Beacon Heights and a big screen that eventually was cued up to show the first ten minutes of the pilot which premieres this Wednesday March 20th @ 8pm on Freeform.

All I have to say is I can not wait to see the whole thing. They did not waste anytime in diving right in and getting things going. The explanation as to how Mona and Allison end up in the same rural town is, well, dare I say it? Perfection, yep, I said it.

The rest? Well I've got a secret and I'm gonna keep it...enjoy some of the PLL experience with me, won't you? Shhhhhhhhh....

Concrete Heart

Kiss My Vassy
Vassy

Yesterday I received an E-mail from an artist who I interviewed seven years ago, "yes" seven years ago, about her album Beautiful Day for Chorus & Verse. Her name is Vassy - the correspondence was regarding her latest single Concrete Heart.

In case you would like to give the interview a read, even though dated, it's still fun! Here is the link:

https://www.chorusandverse.com/content.php?id=20120607A

Vassy is a sassy (Yeah, I made a rhyme on purpose) Aussie with talent to burn. Here is what she has to say about Concrete Heart...

"I'm so excited & proud to present to you my new song "CONCRETE HEART" Dedicated to my Father who passed away 16 years ago....... This is a song about Wanting to Love without Getting Hurt... We can all relate to being vulnerable ... I hope you Enjoy :)"

Spin the single right round here -
