Revisiting “Knives Out”- Now on Amazon Prime

Via Something Weird: "Four men representing the world’s great criminal organizations unite to locate a cache of sunken treasure. The treasure is in fact a fortune in diamonds and secret documents that was lost by the Germans in the seas off Monte Carlo during the war. Following their every move are representatives from every secret agency in the world, amongst them, the British, the Russians, the Germans, and the Americans, all seeking the important papers contained within the treasure."

'Midnight at the Paradise' premieres tomorrow at Toronto's Paradise Theatre! I had the pleasure to sit down with Vanessa Matsui to discuss the making of this film.
'The Menu' has a strong story. The 5 acts, which are defined by the courses, are an excellent subversion of the classic 5-act film structure.

Dramatic Horror!!! Wait, what?? Did you say "dramatic horror"?? IS there such a thing?? I mean, TRULY. Well, if San Francisco-based, Pakistani-born independent filmmaker Dr. Hassan Zee and this film critic have anything to say about it, there IS such a beast as experienced through the director's newest feature film set to officially debut October 4th in the City by the Bay. Folks, indie film will always be a bastion of experimentation and originality, and this film for me fits that bill.
