BOOGIE MOVIE REVIEW

Author, chef, restaurateur, producer, and attorney Eddie Huang is adding screenwriter and director to his already stacked resume with this coming-of-age drama. “Boogie” follows Alfred “Boogie” Chin, a basketball phenom navigating his life in Queens, New York through pressures of his parents wanting him to land an elite college scholarship, a budding romance with a classmate, rivals on the court, and being able to meet all expectations placed on him. Here to see if the debut film is a slam dunk or a failed three-pointer from down the court are Adrian, Jordan, T.C., and Jamarco.

Adrian El Critico (Screener Squad)

Though born and raised in Chicago, this film critic is Mexican to the bone. Adrian has been watching movies since he was a child, many of which might not have been age appropriate. Still, he couldn’t get enough. All throughout his life, friends and family would look to him for his recommendations and reviews on whatever films had come their way. Inspired earlier in life by the likes of Ebert and Roper at The Movies and then later Spill.com, Adrian decided film criticism and analysis provided a great outlet to further his love of film. He began to craft his reviews and thoughts on film in ways he thought would be accessible to devout film hounds as well as the casual viewer. Mixing in jokes, entertaining observations and robust critical analysis, Adrian El Critico may be new to OneOfUs, but he is already making a name for himself on our site. If Horror movies are your thing, get ready to hear his voice.

 

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)

A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know. For more of this eccentric nerd, you can follow her on Twitter here and read her original writings on Deepest Corners of My Notebook.
