Feathered Cocaine (2010)
Stunning, revelatory, and not to be missed
Falconry is merely the entry point into a world of international intrigue and global terrorist networks, which are the true focus of this gripping documentary. Prepare to have your preconceptions jostled as you sink ever deeper into a realm known by few, and seemingly, a realm that many powerful forces wish to remain unknown.
The film's protagonist, Alan Parrot, seems by all accounts to be an unlikely hero: Mild mannered, a loner, a Caucasian American convert to Sikhism. But don't let the quiet demeanor fool you. Mr. Parrot is a fearless defender of the object of passion: Falcons the world over. In fact, he has made it his mission in life to save them from poachers and the black market, as well as the diluting of their gene pool through the lucrative creation of hybrids. Mr. Parrot make a fascinating a subject.
'Feathered Cocaine' is stunning, revelatory, and not to be missed.
Paging Dr. Smith (2008)
freshly twisted comedy
Chandler Simm's first film paints a darkly cute portrait of modern American. Set in an uncomfortably familiar environment that every viewer can identify with - the doctor's office - "Paging Dr. Smith" preys on some of our deepest fears with a brave-yet-light comedic touch. For his cinematic debut, Simms has delivered a inspiring accomplishment with his freshly twisted comedy. One wonders what other awry surprises may be explored in his future projects.
An additional mention should be made of the cleverly crafted title sequence which deftly sets the tone of a film that is about to reveal layered surprises.
