Filmmaker Melissa Rue Discusses New Short Film Tale of Courage “Esperanza’s Turn”

posted by HollyWoodBigFan

Many films are created to entertain, while others are created to educate. Some even find a way to do both. Filmmaker Melissa Rue does exactly that with her new dramatic short, “Esperanza’s Turn.”

The story centers around a 12-year-old immigrant girl in American who must work on a farm when she’s not at school to help make ends meet. Consistently harassed by the lecherous foreman in the fields and by a callous bully at school has become the normal pattern of her life. Until one day when she taps into her imagination and discovers the courage to overcome her tormentors.

Why I Hate Roddy McDowall

posted by Coffeeuser

For those of you who know don’t know who he is, Roddy McDowall was an English-American actor, film director, and voice artist, best known for playing Cornelius on ‘Planet of the Apes’. I actually used to like him and really enjoyed his roles in the ‘Planet of the Apes’ series. However, then I grew up and learned what a scumbag he was. If for some reason, you are a fan of him then stop reading right now because there is nothing here for you.
Still with me? Okay then, don’t say I didn’t warn you. First of all, Roddy McDowall spent a lot of time with his good buddy Elizabeth Taylor....

I've been planning to do this for a while but I never really got around to it.

Everyone resists authority at some point in their life. The world is full of rebels fighting against evil for the sake of “good”, right? Okay, maybe I’ve just seen too many movies about the rise of the underdog, but this theme can certainly make for a compelling piece of entertainment.

“The Resistance” has screened at the Portland Film Festival, Berkshire...

Griff the Invisible Review: An Underrated Superhero Gem

posted by whatsupbugs

Griff the Invisible is a 2010 film. The film deals with a lot of superhero-related material, so while it is a superhero film, it's not a serious action film and it isn't based on any comic book superheroes. Instead, it has drama, romance, and comedy.

The Plot

Griff is a man, who seems average, if somewhat meek, during the day. He's quiet and doesn't get along well with others. He only has one person he regularly socializes with and gets along with, named Tim. Most people consider Griff to be weird and off-putting. However, during the night, he puts on a superhero costume and tries to fight...
