BORDERLINE MOVIE REVIEW
From the psychotic mind of the man who brought you Cocaine Bear, writer and director Jimmy Warden returns with Borderline. Sofia (Samara Weaving) is the current Hollywood It girl with a walk that can turn heads in traffic and a smile that can light up the stars. Her life is full of wealth, fame, film roles, platinum records, sponsorships, and also unwanted attention from a creepy stalker named Duerson (Ray Nicholson). After an escalated home invasion attempt leaving Sofia’s bodyguard Bell (Eric Dane) hospitalized, Duerson is locked up. Roll credits? Not exactly, Duerson flies the coop accompanied by a duo just as insane as he is: a manic pixie dream psycho named Penny (Alba Baptista) and a bug lug headed goon. Duerson’s genuinely believes that he and Sofia are getting married and his second attempt at capturing Sofia will surely win her heart. It’s up to Sofia, her bodyguard Bell, and an NBA basketball player named Rhodes (Jimmie Fails) to thwart the neurotic fantasies of Duerson. Bradly, Drew, and Lewayne discuss tone, over the top violence on the stage of comedy, and if a mental disorder in such a comedy would be punching up, punching down, or just a punchline. Jimmy Warden once again finds moments to go over the top in disgusting yet sidesplitting ways that regardless of the final results, will stay with a viewer for a very long time.
DIRECTED BY: Jimmy Warden
STARRING: Samara Weaving, Ray Nicholson, Eric Dane, Alba Baptista, Jimmie Fails, Catherine Lough Haggquist, Patrick Cox, Terence Kelly, Matthew Del Bel Belluz, Billy Magnussen, Yasmeen Kelders
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Drew Tinnin (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Deliberations of Doom)
Drew Tinnin is a Rondo Award nominated interviewer and critic who has worked at SiriusXM’s Fangoria Radio and Fangoria magazine in NYC, as well as the London-based Dazed Digital. Currently a regular contributor to the Dread Central Network, he’s excited to join up with some old friends and other film fans on One of Us as a new contributor to Screener Squad.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
