Film Corner: MONEYBAGZ

Moneybagz is not the name of a new film—although, obviously, it should be, because what a great name, right? It's just the name of this post, because there is not one but are TWO new movies coming soon to a theater near you (if you live in a major metropolitan area; otherwise, that is just a turn of phrase which may not literally apply!) about white people who find bags of money only for trouble to ensue!

This is the trailer for A Single Shot, starring Sam Rockwell getting into trouble and William H. Macy being weird and Melissa Leo being crusty. (Give this casting director all the Oscars.) Also starring ONE BAG OF MONEY belonging to a dead lady in which Bad Guys are very interested. Worse guys than the main guy who only came across the money after shooting someone, it looks like? Morality is relative! Whoooooops that is probably the Totally Trenchant moral of this movie, so: Spoiler Alert.

And this is the trailer for Cold Comes the Night, starring Bryan Cranston as Walter White after (I think?) he's gone into hiding as a vision-impaired Russian, and Alice Eve, who is allowed to be fully clothed, at least in the trailer, because J.J. Abrams is not directing this movie. Also starring ONE BAG OF MONEY belonging to a dead lady and lots of emotional manipulation of a single mom who's just trying to do right by her kid. Morality is ambiguous sometimes, y'all.

I was just thinking how weird it is that neither Bill Paxton nor Billy Bob Thornton was in either of these movies, because they really seem like movies that would star Bill Paxton or Billy Bob Thornton, but then I remembered those two already made A Simple Plan 15 years ago.

Anyway! I will soon be launching a Kickstarter for my exciting new film project, Moneybagz, which will star some really big names from the silver screen.



I hope you'll help make my dream a reality!
