Moving On...Frank at SXSW

So, now that most of the major award shows are over and everyone has come to terms with the winners and "not-winners" it is time to move on.  More films are coming our way and we need to continue enjoying Michael's work.

First, congrats to all the awards that "12 Years A Slave" won.  By now, cinephiles already know, so no use repeating.  We're happy for Steve, Michael, Lupita, Chiwetel, and the rest of the cast and crew.  Much deserved.  Michael appeared with his sister at the Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars with his mother.  

Second, the film is out on DVD, just in time for the excitement of the awards to continue.  We haven't seen it so we cannot comment, yet.

Third, one of the last awards is out and your vote counts.  MTV Movie Awards, where you can vote for best picture, best actor, best actress, and best villain, where "12 Years A Slave" are involved.  Michael has been nominated as best villain and from what we've heard, he's really ugly onscreen.

Fourth, Michael is still working on MacBeth in Scotland and England.

Lastly, "Frank" had a showing at SXSW.  It had been screen at Palm Springs Film Festival and Sundance last year.  Here is the official trailer:

The reviews are good and Michael's performance has been described as ''truly shines in a role that keeps his well-known mug off screen and hidden behind the fake head." Review  It is not a film for everyone, but if you like quirkiness, odd music, and great performances, "Frank" is a film to be watched.  We'll be looking forward to a release in our area.

Until next time...
