Greener Grass - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: Greener Grass
The Directors: Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe
The Cast: Jocelyn DeBoer, Dawn Luebbe, Beck Bennett, Janicza Bravo, Neil Casey, Mary Holland, D'Arcy Carden, Jim Cummings
The Story: Suburban soccer moms find themselves constantly competing against each other in their personal lives as their kids settle their differences on the field.
The Review:
Imagine a movie where the creators fill every scene and every moment with the most absurdly unexpected twists and turns leaving your brain in a constant state of "WTF". That's this movie and every bit of it works brilliantly. The end result is an extremely original and insanely hilarious comedy that pokes fun at the nuances of polite society while mixing in elements of the thriller and horror genres because why not.
Greener Grass is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.

The Death of Dick Long - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: The Death of Dick Long
The Director: Daniel Scheinert
The Cast: Michael Abbott Jr., Virginia Newcomb, Andre Hyland, Sarah Baker, Jess Weixler
The Story: Dick died last night, and Zeke and Earl don't want anybody finding out how. That's too bad though, cause news travels fast in small-town Alabama.
The Review:
This movie is an interesting exploration on decision making under extreme duress, especially when needing to keep a deadly secret under wraps. The two primary characters, Zeke and Earl, are about as stereotypically Alabama as it gets and their constant stream of bad decisions makes for a lot of fun comedic moments. Not quite as insane as I was expecting but still a wild ride.
