Nate’s Two Cents?
If you’re one of the few people that didn’t go see this summer’s’ biggest blockbuster then now is your chance. This was everything I wanted the movie to be and more. It made me feel like I was a kid again and and revived a dying franchise. It has been 22 years since we were first introduced to Jurassic Park and its prehistoric inhabitants and frankly, Jurassic World was well worth the wait! If you’re like me, you’ll be at your local video retailer bright and early to pick up your copy and relive the magic.

Starry Eyes
Who’s in it?
Alex Essoe, Amanda Fuller, Noah Segan, Pat Healy
What’s this thing about?
“In the city of dreams, a desperate actress will put it all on the line for the role of a lifetime… no matter what the cost. Determined to make it in Hollywood, aspiring actress Sarah Walker (Alexandra Essoe) spends her days working a dead-end job under the watchful eye of her patronizing boss, Carl (Pat Healy), enduring petty friendships with other struggling artists and competing actors (Amanda Fuller, Fabianne Therese, Noah Segan, Shane Coffey and Natalie Castillo) and going on countless casting calls in the hopes of finally catching her big break. After a series of strange auditions with a mysterious casting duo (Marc Senter & Maria Olsen) from famed production company Astraeus Pictures, Sarah finally lands the leading role in their newest film. The producer (Lou Deszeran) thinks she has a bright future ahead of her, but this coveted opportunity comes with bizarre ramifications that will transform Sarah both mentally and physically into something beautiful and terrifying. From Travis Stevens, the producer of Cheap Thrills and Jodorowsky’s Dune, Dennis Widmyer & Kevin Kölsch’s Starry Eyes is an occult tale of ambition, possession, and the true price of fame.” – Official site
Nate’s Two Cents?
It’s been about a year since seeing this film but I do remember this being quite a unique experience. If I could compare this film to another director’s work I would say it’s most like the body horror of Cronenberg. So with that being said, this is the perfect thing to check out just in time for the Halloween season!
