Saw Riff Raff a few weeks ago when it opened.  Like some movies that studios release they've only limited it release in several theaters, and the theater I saw it in the film was relegated to a small theater.  It's a shame what studios are doing, and it's a BIG problem that streaming has created.  Studios feel it's not worth promoting small films unless they became run away success.  It's a shame because Riff Raff is a smart and dark comedy about an unusual family under seige by oddly and old friend.  Ed Harris is a gift and I swear that anything he is in is leveled up by his performance alone.  But the entire cast is fabulous.  Bill Murra y is hilariously funny in a dead-pan way.  What malice he brings to his character that only Bill Murray can do, and please don't get me started on Jenifer Coolidge 's performance.  She is hilarious and someone I can watch all day.  She is a gift that keeps on giving.  Now don't get me wrong this ...

It's George Romero's birthday today, and to celebrate I figured I talk about one of his films. The film I choose is Knightriders starring Ed Harris . I do remember the film when it first came out in 1981. It was double billed with Romero's " Dawn of the Dead ". I remember an afternoon of fun that day when my friend and I went downtown to see both films. Knightriders isn't a perfect film, and many critics have pointed out at 145 minutes the film does drag, but it still remains one of my favorite Romero films. It's an amazing film and I'm always taken aback by the many different themes Romero tries to cover in the film. In ways the film is ahead of its time. It talks about corporate sponsorship, and being true to oneself. If you listen hard enough you can hear Romeros anthem of independence within the film. Ed Harris who gives a hell of performance in the film as Billy should be noted here that this is one of Harris' first performances on film. Bef...
