The Film Scout – Upcoming Movies To Watch

Posted on March 1, 2024March 1, 2024 by Editor - the Local

Okay, so my first thought for this column was to write about the Oscars coming up, but then something changed. I thought, “Of course you’re going to write about the Oscars and predict the winners, and because you’re so good at this, you’re going to get them right just like you always do!” But to be completely honest, the Oscars aren’t even on my radar at the moment. Right now, I’m still thinking about the…

Legends and Longtime Buddies Jerry Farber and Angie Aparo Look to Capture Lightning in a Bottle Once Again. Beloved local bon vivant and funnyman Jerry Farber’s razor-sharp wit cuts so clean it’s sometimes hard to tell what’s real and what’s a joke. Did Farber really hire the rare-treasure / hidden-gem that is singer-songwriter Angie Aparo while running his namesake Jerry Farber’s Side Door comedy club in Buckhead back in the ‘80s? At the low-ball rate…

Saltburn In a world where catching the average person’s attention about movies can be a daunting task, the questions that often arise are, “What’s it streaming on?” and “If it’s not on Netflix or Hulu, do people even care?” The traditional movie-going experience seems to be fading into obscurity, with many opting for the comfort of their favorite streaming platforms.

Asking a movie enthusiast about their favorite films of the year will yield a diverse array of responses, and this year is no exception. One thing I’m eager to do in 2024 is attend film festivals, which I’ve never done outside of Columbus. While I appreciate the convenience of online viewing options, I’m ready to take my passion for cinema to the next level by meeting fellow filmmakers and attending festivals in person. My friend…

The Film Scout – 2023 Year in Movies

There’s a lot going on in the world of film. The industry took a beating this year, from the impact of the writer’s strike to a significant decrease in theater attendance. The canceling and rescheduling of movies added an air of uncertainty, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the release dates of their favorite films (looking at you, Dune 2).

We sat in a local coffee shop sipping our iced teas. Still sweating from the Georgia summer heat, I ask him to tell me his story – “How did you get here?” He starts with his time spent in the Air Force. Sherman…
