The Vern's review of I'll Be Around.

 

I’ll  Be Around.

 Director, Editor, Producer, Composer: Mike Cuenca

Writers: Dan Rojan, Mike Cuenca

Cinematographer: Jessica Gallant

 

 

If there ever was a movie that shows what my social life with friends was like, It’s this one.  Watching the characters in this feature reminds me of friends I have, stories from people I know and even myself at times.  I have played in bands before and there were a few similarities in this that were quite funny and bitter sweet when looking back. Although I am reminded highly of Richard Linklater’s debut Slacker as I watched it.  Mike Cuenca’s I’ll  Be Around doesn’t have quite the same structure.  Instead of going from one character’s interactions with another to a totally new situation with all new people.  Mike Cuenca gives you multiple stories and character archs in this epic that sort of plays like a punk rock version of Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Live Music at Vern's Garage. The Mountweazles, ED, and Scale of None(Remastered Edition)

On Sept 19th 2020, the unthinkable happened.  In the middle of a global virus that have forced many venues that had live music to close their doors to local bands and musicians.  A bunch of artists and myself decided to put together a little event in my garage and have bands perform.   On stage performing is The Mountweasles, ED, and Scale of None.  I, The Vern play drums  and sing vocals for the first and last bands. Huge thanks to Eric Mitchell of ED(2nd band) who helped out so much with the sound and lights for the show.  Shoutouts go to Matt Sudduth who helped out big time with mixing the audio for this  video as well.  Amazing work by both

Sidaris September: Savage Beach(1989)

 

It's time for yet another installment of Sidaris September.  Those wonderful action movies from the late 80's through the 90's that had beautiful women in great locations shooting large guns.  On today's show, Rob from Fat Drunk and Stupid Podcast(https://linktr.ee/fdspodcast7) joins me to discuss his thoughts on Savage Beach which continues the somewhat cinematic universe of  the L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies

The Vern's Quick Reviews of Bill and Ted Face The Music & I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

 

Hello Everyone

You may not know this, but Cinema Recall does have a YouTube Channel where I do post videos occasionally on there.  I'm not in any way a professional at this, and most of  the ones posted were edited by my roommate and friend.  I'm going to start publishing 1 to 2 minute reviews of newer movies because unless you are doing a deep dive analysis.  Reviews don't need to be really long and with that in mind.  Here are my short thoughts of Bill and Ted Face The Music & I'm Thinking of Ending Things .
