Band Aid (2017)
Excellent, loved it.
Band aid filled the void for me started by La La Land. It took them all of 30 secs to establish what this movie was about. I related and understood the characters almost immediately. This was the movie I had been waiting for. Two artists living in L.A. trying to make it.
The acting was superb. This is what you can create if the actors already know and trust each other.(I'm guessing) Zoe Lister-Jones was beautiful. So many Beautiful moments like when she gets the idea that they should form a band, was so done so well.
The only part of the movie I did't love (spoiler) was there first open mic scene where she had too much to drink and does a bunch of penis jokes. The crowd in the theater ate it up so...
The songs, music was great. The acting was so real, and the feeling that these two people really love each other came through.
Fred Armisen was hilarious in the most Fred Armisen way. Not just a cameo. It was very satisfying comically. I know this movie was a big hit at Sundance, which peeked my interest but Zoe Lister Jones and Adam Pally really have created a masterpiece. I will watch it again soon.
Car Wash (1976)
a day in the life or working at a car wash, all struggling to be appreciated and understood.
This movie is pure genius. Thanks to Director Michael Schultz and screenwriter Joel Schumacher. So many interesting unique characters all struggling in their own way. I was rooting for all of them. I believe this movie is underrated. It highlights the great comedians of the comedy store Los Angeles in the 70's. George Carlin, Franklin Ajaye, Richard Pryor, Professor Irwin, Garret Morris,Jack Kehoe, and utilizes an ensemble cast with unexpected depth and heartfelt climax. This movie also has one of my favorite performances of Richard Pryor at the peek of his talents. I love the soundtrack but I think it permeated pop culture and was somewhat overlooked as a film. Love it.
