Critique-Opolis
Jay & Louisa deliver a fiery, opinion fueled overview of movies, social movements, cultural behaviors and eating habits - dovetailed with a honey-based recipe and reviews of the most obnoxious movie/media news headlines we can get our eyeballs in front of. For our latest editions, we will be reviewing scripts from the infamous Hollywood 'Black List' (scripts with a ton of 'buzz' that have yet to secure a deal or go into production) - and adding our own casting and story development suggestions.

A Perfect World
And you thought prior to 1993 all Clint Eastwood could do was Westerns and Shoot-em ups. Heartfelt, character driven themes set in the not too distant past would at first glance to be outside of his wheelhouse especially in that time period. Now what if I told you old Clint picked up the helm of a Steven Spielberg project that Steve-a-reeno just couldn't find the time for. Now, throw in some additional star fodder like Kevin Costner to move the story forward. Set it in early 1960s west Texas, throw in a dash of a prison break, child abduction, and sauteed it with a burgeoning father and son mismatched dynamic. Enter, "A Perfect World."
Costner plays Butch, a career criminal fugitive on the run having freshly busted out of prison with the lofty objective to reunite with his long last father in a faraway land. T. J. Lowther plays Phillip, a fatherless Jehovah's Witness, 8 year old who becomes Butch's consensual hostage. Eastwood plays Red Garnett, the Texas Ranger charged with bringing Butch in and rescuing Phillip, all while harboring a secret involving Butch's past.
We are not imdb, you just have to listen. Do a little work, will ya?
