About My Father
Long Live Bob De Niro! Sitting in my seat, I did not expect much from the film. You can see from the poster that audiences have seen this type of all-American feel-good comedy over and over… so it needed an excellent script and strong lead performances to separate it from what has become cliché and… Continue reading About My Father

Director Brandon Slagle (Battle for Saipan) co-wrote the Breakout screenplay with writers Robert Thompson and Devanny Pinn, an action/crime feature. When most people read the synopsis, they might think this is just another criminal who wants out of prison, and we have a predictable story. In this case, I can’t deny some scenes usually appear… Continue reading BREAKOUT
