Cocaine Cowboys

The two main characters in this film I don't think you'd suspect of being some of the biggest cocaine enablers in Florida, and perhaps this country's history.  More like middle to upper management in a name-brand company.  Of course you also wouldn't expect the most dangerous person in America to be a woman, but it was.

This wasn't the highest production value, and the music just reinforces that fact, but it certainly is worth watching and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  In the late 70s, early 80s, Miami was the most dangerous town in America because of the drug wars that were happening and one particular woman.  At the same time the schematics that were being used to not get caught were very near genius.

Of the following pics, one of these guys evaded the police by running into a swamp, another was one of the biggest hitmen in the USA's history, another used to bury money in his backyard cause there was nowhere else to put it.  Oh, and another was a woman.

Very Young Girls

Uh...don't google search the title of this movie... This film is about the prostitution operations in NYC.  It's something that doesn't really strike as 'real' before seeing it.  I lived within an hour of where this stuff was going on for 6 years and it's just shocking.  This film is just raw.  There isn't high level of production, it's just some cameras and one of the rougher stories I've seen.  I apologize for the kind of trend that's been occurring over the last bit, maybe I'll find something pleasant for next week.  A "King of Kong" type or something.

Touch The Sound

This documentary I've watched a few times, and the music at the end I still reflect on.  Legally deaf Evelyn Glennie is a masterful percussionist who earns a living in a spectrum she by traditional measures can't even discern.  This is a slow-play in my opinion, but slow-plays are my preference so...



The preview? The reviews? Netflix
