Theater Whore: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri


Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 10/10

Tonight Cam and I headed to The Arclight to check out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. I'd wanted to see this earlier this year and found out it wasn't coming out till way later. If I had seen this sooner I would have easily added it to my Best Movie Of 2017 list. This is one of those movies that looks really dark but has some funny parts but turned out to be an actual dark comedy. It helps that there was an old lady in the theater meowing and making spooky sounds randomly. Sounds terrible but that shit was hilarious. Seriously. One of the best parts of going to movies is looking at other movie goers. The theater was pretty packed but we had some good seats because I am a professional seat picker.

Theater Whore: Too Late


Too Late 8/10

The second movie I saw with Camille was one she suggested called Too Late. Again, I didn't know what it was about, who was in it, or what it even looked like. I knew the guy on the poster looked familiar and it turned out that it was John Hawkes. I knew him from that sad ass movie Winter's Bone. Its hard to describe quite what this movie is about. It starts at one place that you think is the beginning, moves to a spot that may be the end, but then the ending is around the actual middle of time. Its confusing but still worked well.


Hawkes is a private investigator named Sampson. He gets a call from a girl named Dorothy played by Crystal Reed who is in the hills in L.A and takes some drugs from these two guys and ends up getting assassinated by a park ranger. Its strange. But the movie then goes to another segment with this super unhappy woman and her older husband played by Robert Forster that cheats on her with a stripper. Then there is another aspect that involves some family stuff that I won't spoil because I want you all to check this movie out.
