boylan: Take it to the Bank
Every once in a while we all stumble across something that is too unique NOT to share.
I just finished watching a movie that was, exemplary. Odds are you never heard about it, never knew it existed. Why? Because it debuted at a film fest and then went straight to DVD because a suit in Hollywood probably didn't think there would be a market for it.
What film? Simple: Interstate 60.
The IMDB summary:
Neal Oliver is a young artist, but his father doesn't like his choice and wants him to go to Oxford. Everything changes after Neal's meeting with O.W.Grant, who grants exactly one wish per person, as his name suggests. Neal wishes for answers, and so he must travel to the nonexistent Danver by the nonexistent Interstate 60. In this trip he hopes to find the girl of his dreams, following the trail of her photos on the advertising stands along the route. Many encounters await him ahead. Will he receive what he asked for?
But it doesn't do it justice. It was written by the guy who wrote Back to the Future, and has cameos by Michael J. Fox and Christoper Lloyd. Oh yeah, it stars James Marsden and Gary Oldman, oh, and Amy Jo Johnson, aka The Pink Power Ranger.
Interested yet?
You should be.
So go out and rent it from your local video distributor. Or obtain it any which way you choose. Meanwhile, the rest of you lot should post comments recommending movies that you have enjoyed that maybe don't get the attention they deserve.
Bonus points if any of you say: Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Donnie Darko, Better Luck Tomorrow, Thirteen, etc etc. Oh, and if you did want to say any of those, sorry for stealing your thunder. ¶ 8:47 PM
