I’m at Round Top Film Festival with my son this weekend. The interview with Eric Roberts was one of the highlights so far. He was extremely entertaining, gracious, & down to earth. It’s always nice to meet someone who is not only good at their craft but a genuinely nice person as well. #rtff

Gus Van Sant delivers once again with Dead Man’s Wire, a tight film with terrific performances. It would not surprise me to see this film get some Oscar buzz. It’s certainly deserving of praise, and was a great way to begin the Austin Film Festival. 👍🏻👍🏻

I love the renewed interest in physical media and that there are companies pumping out amazing versions of films with lots of features. The new artwork for A Simple Plan is just as great as the film itself. This movie is a classic and it deserves to be discovered by new and younger audiences.

Had a great time watching the newly restored print of Frailty followed by a Q&A with the writer and the producer. It had been years since I had seen this film and it holds up well. The acting is superb but Paxton probably doesn’t get enough credit for his direction. 👍🏻👍🏻

The Pepperland Players put on a fantastic show last night in Austin to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bob Dylan going electric. They played both Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Ben Jones and his band mates are amazing! I highly recommend seeing them if you can.

Sweaty palms, bouts of anxiety, fighting the urge to look away, this is what it’s like to watch We Are Storror. Beyond the YouTube stunts, there is something deeper about Michael Bay’s latest film. The film asks us to consider what young men need in our isolated and digital age. #SXSW

Matthew McConaughey is back! The Rivals of Amziah King is peak McConaughey. It is a gripping story about community with lots of surprises and several musical numbers along the way. The #SXSW crowd loved this movie and you will too.

It’s only day two at #SXSW but there might not be a better film at this year’s festival than The Ballad of Wallis Island. It is hilarious, moving, and a delight to watch in a theater with others. It’s also filled with wonderful music performed by the actors. Don’t miss out! 👍🏻👍🏻

First film of #SXSW

It Ends is a wild and unexpected ride that dabbles in multiple different genres. It’s a great debut film.
