The Movie Draft House

I want to tell you a story.  A tale of a young screen writer who set out to craft his masterwork. After years of toiling, he had finished it. His greatest story was filled with social commentary on the overcrowding of prisons, and the inhuman way convicted criminals were treated.  He hoped to shine light on how the government favored the rich and left the poor to fend for themselves.  His name was Luc Besson.  His script, Lockout.  Little did he know that once Hollywood sunk its teeth into his work, it would never be the same.  We here in the draft house, are demanding for the original script to be made into a film.  We are asking everyone to use the hashtag #ReleasetheBassoonCut 

IMDB Synopsis: A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president's daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates. Directed by James Mather & Steve Saint Leger Starring Guy Pierce, Maggie Grace, and Lennie James.

A movie first. Musical theatre second.  Then a movie based on the musical.  It's week 4 of musical month and we hop in the time machine back to 1986 and watch Little Shop of Horrors staring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Steve Martin.  There are also several cameos to boot. Finally, Homeward Bound makes us cry, but were grown ass men and we don't mind that you know that about us.

IMDB Synopsis: A nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

Welcome back to The Movie Draft House!  We're back with a new theme for the month of February!  Bear with us as we math equation this theme...Jeff and Mark gave each other five actors they cannot stand (from an acting perspective...we love everyone) and they were tasked with choosing two from the list and choosing two films that star those respective actors that may sway their perception on the actor.  This week, Mark chose Owen Wilson (Jeff hates him, but loves his brother, Luke :shrugs:) from Jeff's list and the 2015 thriller No Escape, directed by John Erick Dowdle. Starring Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, and Pierce Brosnan.  Come for the review, stay for the Owen Wilson impression by Jeff.  

IMDB synopsis "In their new overseas house, an American family soon finds themselves caught in the middle of a coup, and they frantically look for a safe escape from an environment where foreigners are being immediately executed."
