Echo Chamber - 136
@EchoChamberFP today has three completely different films! A Thriller about friendship and sticking your nose where it shouldn't be, a new British gangster flick that attempts to flirt with meta crazy, and a buddy movie that makes pranks work!!!
Neil Jordan returns to the big screen with 'Greta', which he co-wrote with Ray Wright. Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz), is a little naïve young and New York seems a bit big for her. But she has her job waiting tables and her best friend and roommate Erica (Maika Monroe) to help keep her from disappearing into herself. One day she finds a handbag on the subway and returns it to its owner Greta (Isabelle Huppert), an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. Greta and Frances bond over loss and start spending a lot of time together. But, what seems a harmless, sweet friendship, slowly becomes something more, co-dependent, sinister, and maybe....deadly!!!
Saints & Savages launch their distribution vehicle with the new film 'Original Gangster' from Savvas D. Michael which is out via VOD & DVD 05.04.21. As a kid, Castor (Badger Skelton) witnesses his parents being gunned down, but gets saved by repentant hitman Milo Novak (Ian Reddington). Ten years later, an older Castor (Alex Mills) now living rough and reckless bumps into Milo again, which brings him into contact with top London gangster Jean-Baptiste Philippe (Steve Guttenberg). More money definitely brings more problems, and Castor is either going to spiral out of control or maybe the influence & kindness of Milo's wife Maria (Isabele De Rosa) will keep him on the right track.
'Bad Trip' is a buddy movie wrapped around hidden camera high-jinx. Kitao Sakurai directs and co-writes with Eric Andre. Something that shouldn't work, kicks you in the funny, so damn hard! Chris (Eric Andre) and Bud (Lil Rel Howery) have been best friends forever. So when his high school crush, Maria (Michaela Conlin) reappears and Chris thinks their love may be real. Bud agrees to travel with him, so he can declare his feelings. All they have to do is borrow Trina's (Tiffany Haddish) car (Bud's sister). What can go wrong, other than it being Trina's pride & joy and she'll kill a mudda that messes it up....
