Fool's Views (1/1 - 1/31)
OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER
Hey kids,
2015 has been a very weird year in and out of the Doc’s office.
Due to time constraints, I haven’t given any critical attention to films not
specifically submitted for review; as such, posting the weekly Fool’s Views kind
of fell by the wayside.
However, in this brief calm before the storm that is
the annual October Horror Movie Challenge/Scare-A-Thon, I found myself with
just enough time to catch up in the cataloging of titles consumed over the past
nine months. And, being the generous soul that I am, I figured I’d post them on
the blog, as is, in monthly blocks, for your perusal. Without any opining, of
course, this is simply a matter of record as opposed to an array of
recommendations or admonitions – the very definition of trivia. But hey, there’s
a place for that as well, I suppose. This seems like the place.
There are, as you will see, numerous links to extended reviews. However, if you have any questions about any specific titles that didn't manage to garner any virtual ink, I’m happy
to offer up any feeble retroactive thoughts I can conjure. In other words, your
two cents will still get you some change back.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

STARRY EYES (2014) Blu-ray Review
Starry Eyes (2014) d. Kevin Kolsch / Dennis Widmyer (USA)
Aspiring actress Sarah (Alexandra Essoe) juggles her soul-killing day job at a spud-centric Hooter’s knock-off (Big Taters) while knocking on doors all over Tinseltown. The deceptively simple plot follows her day-to-day trials until her big break comes in the form of a toilet temper tantrum following a botched audition (this happens a lot in the acting world; trust me on this). The casting director hears something “different” behind those thin walls and invites her back for a second, more involved audition, followed by a meeting with the mysterious producer, each step drawing the young artist deeper into the tar-thick mire of immorality. But sin – and fame – comes at a price, with Sarah’s tender spirit and flesh the currency of the day....
