tuesday. i had the day off. lucky me. it was rainy and gloomy outside. raincoat, check. umbrella, check. boots, check. i headed to the movies. catfish. 3:10p.m. regal union square. i walked into the theatre and sat down close to the exit...convenient. near the exit just in case I was frightened out of my wits and had to run out respectively. i was all by myself. the best way to enjoy a matinee. no junior mints. no popcorn. no nachos. just me and a dark room filled with strangers all equally excited to see the movie.
the film, co-directed by henry joost and ariel schulman, documents the life of nev schulman, an interesting and charismatic character to say the least. i won’t spoil the movie, nor will i attempt to review. i’m no jeffrey lyons.
i will, however, say, i was on the edge of my seat and intrigued the entire time. as an avid moviegoer and diehard facebook fan, I was drawn to nev’s story. it was sort of like "to catch a predator" minus the sweet tea, chocolate chip cookies, and awkwardly tall chris hansen. nev was the underage minor. the prey, if you will... and the predator....well, you'll have to see for yourself. the movie was over, an hour and thirty four minutes later. credits were up. i was the last to leave. inspired. facebook friends, go see the film. it will move you.
