Echo Chamber - 154
This week's @EchoChamberFP jumps into a few different genres. We start off with a little Action, Adventure, then it's Drama, Horror, before we go Comedy, Horror. And it all ends with some historical animation.
'The Ice Road' is the new film from Jonathan Hensleigh. It follows a team (Mike (Liam Neeson), Gurty (Marcus Thomas), Goldenrod (Laurence Fishburne), Tantoo (Amber Midthunder)) of ‘big-rig’ ice road truck drivers in a dangerous mission over a frozen north Canadian ocean to deliver a crucial component to save workers trapped in a collapsed mine.
'My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To' is the new film from writer/director Jonathan Cuartas. The film follows siblings Dwight (Patrick Fugit) and Jessie (Ingrid Sophie Schram) who put all their energy into keeping their little brother Thomas (Owen Campbell) alive. But he craves human blood.
'Vicious Fun' is the new film from Cody Calahan who co-wrote with James Villeneuve We follow Joel (Evan Marsh), a caustic 1980’s film critic for a national horror magazine, finds himself unwittingly trapped in a self-help group for serial killers. With no other choice, Joel attempts to blend in with his homicidal surroundings or risk becoming the next victim.
'America: The Motion Picture' is written by Dave Callaham and Matt Thompson makes his directorial debut. In an alternate world and timeline, President George Washington (Channing Tatum) must go to war to free the country from the British army to retrieve the Declaration, save his wife Martha (Judy Greer) and avenge the death of his best friend Abe Lincoln (Will Forte). But to do so, he must recruit rebel rouser Sam Adams (Jason Mantzoukas), female scientist Thomas Edison (Olivia Munn), fastest racist in the colonies Paul Revere (Bobby Moynihan), native chief Geronimo (Raoul Trujillo), and blacksmith John Henry (Killer Mike) to rally more allies for the American Revolution and defeat King James (Simon Pegg) and the traitor Benedict Arnold (Andy Samberg).
