Sophie Kargman talks Susie Searches

Sophie Kargman sat down with Solzy at the Movies shortly after the world premiere of Susie Searches last year during TIFF. The comic thriller is an expansion of the 2020 short film and a solid feature debut. There’s been a number of comedic whodunits in recent years including Knives Out, Glass Onion, The Afterparty, Only Murders in the Building, etc. At first glance, Susie Searches looks like a regular ol’ whodunit.

Seabiscuit: Horse Racing Drama Marks 20th Anniversary

The Oscar-nominated Great Depression-era horse racing drama, Seabiscuit, marks the 20th anniversary since its theatrical release in 2003. “He just needs to learn how to be a horse again.” – Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) In 2003, Gary Ross beautifully adapts Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book for the big screen. The end result is an impressive piece of filmmaking. How Ross doesn’t get an Oscar nomination for directing is beyond me. They have the original 1938 match…

The Scout Touches On Mental Health In Baseball

While Steve Nebraska was Shohei Ohtani before Ohtani became a baseball legend, The Scout touches on mental health in baseball. The Scout has its roots in an article written by Spink Award winner Roger Angell in The New Yorker. Once optioned by Andrew Bergman’s producing partner, it went through a number of rewrites and actors between 1983 and the theatrical release in 1994.
