The Scribbler (2014)
Intelligent foray into the limits of the human psyche
This film is not for your average film goer, in fact many people will hate it. Rather it speaks to lovers of cinema, the people who appreciate directors who are not afraid to make an intelligent journey into uncharted territory, and those who will enjoy it, will instantly love it; it has all the makings of a cult classic, it is dark, and brutally honest, forcing viewers to come face to face with their own insecurities. One thing which does detract from the story is the interrupted time-line jumping back and forth to the interrogation of Suki, and an ending which leaves the viewer with a feeling that it was added as an afterthought, which can be forgiven after having the privilege to experience the emotional journey on which this film takes the viewer. The casting could not have been more perfect and the characters easily play off of each other.
The Magic Ferret (2013)
A boy and his ferret seek love, acceptance, and a forever home
Director Alison Parker has done it again. The Magic Ferret is a delightfully entertaining and heart-warming tale about an orphan named Sam (played by Jacob Tremblay), and his ferret Booger (played by Falcor the Ferret). Watching the film, you can sense the bond between human and ferret. Falcor is his usual hammy but lovable self, and Jacob is so adorable you can't help but feel for his situation. The other actors round out the ensemble nicely. This is a definite must watch for viewers both young and old, and will be a favorite of many people. Kudos to everyone involved in making this film a reality. Looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for this young and innovative director.
