Dust Up (2012) d. Roberts, Ward (USA)
Positing itself as the latest midnight movie sensation to capitalize on the nouveaux/retro grindhouse scene, there are several distinct impressions one gets from watching Roberts attempt to seize the crown: 1) The guy definitely has an affinity for the absurd and the extreme, 2) he knows that to sell said absurd and extreme material, one needs a fearless cast, jazzy camera angles/movement, and a rip snorting musical score, and 3) he seems to have approached his sophomore feature with the attitude that he might never get to make another movie in his life so better get it ALL IN THIS TIME.
