I'M BAAAAAAAAACK

so i've finally got the urge to post some bullshit on here again, mainly because i thought i'd post something i already wrote. just like me, all the benefit with none of the hassle. it's a movie review i wrote for SRO's website and it's a movie i think anyone who reads this would enjoy. oh yeah, forgot to mention the marr group draw blog. first of all, big thanks to russ for puttin' this whole thing together. born from boredom and creative minds. check it.

Shotgun Stories: If the phrase "family feud" only spurs a thought of the eternal game show with its revolving door of hosts, then you owe it to yourself to pick up Shotgun Stories. The directorial and writing debut from Little Rock native, Jeff Nichols, is a movie that operates as not only a powerful drama, but a thriller brooding with tension. Son, Boy, and Kid are three blue collared brothers that have come together after Son's separation with his girlfriend/baby mama. When Son makes a scene at their estranged father's funeral, the father's second set of sons take serious offense and set off a chain of retaliations. Unlike flashy modern Hollywood thrillers, this indie gem does a lot with a little. Characters with depth, violence without gore-sploitation and a script with genuine mid-western tone. These are the things that make Shotgun Stories unmissable.
