349. Tusk (2014)

September 13, 2014

I've never liked a single movie that Kevin Smith has made, so I had serious reservations about seeing 'Tusk', but the concept was so weird that I couldn't miss it. I absolutely loved it! Michael Parks deserves an award for his outstanding performance as the old man in the film. Justin Long and Haley Joel Osment run a podcast that talks about funny and peculiar happenings. When they see a video of a kid accidentally chop off his own leg while practicing sword fighting, Long goes out to interview him, only to find that the kid has already died from his injuries. Not wanting to go back empty handed, he seeks out a new story and finds Parks, an old man with promises of all kinds of stories. Cordial and intriguing, Parks tells Long his outlandish life stories until the drugs he put in Long's drink take hold. At that point the movie gets crazier than anything else that has come out recently. I'm not going to spoil anything for you here. Just go watch it and see for yourself how awesome this movie is.
