“No two words in the English language more harmful than: ‘Good job.'” Sony Classics has announced an official re-release of the 2014 hit film Whiplash, directed by Damien Chazelle. This was the big film that launched his career! I was there back at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival when this premiered and took the festival by storm. Everyone was talking about it non-stop! It won the Audience Award! Then it went on to become a big hit at the box office and it even won some Oscars (J.K. Simmons got one!) and then Damien Chazelle went on to make La La Land next and the rest is history. “A masterpiece returns to theaters for its 10th Anniversary.” A promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory on the East Coast where his dreams of real greatness are mentored by a ruthless instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student’s potential. Whiplash stars Miles Teller as Andrew and J.K Simmons as Fletcher, with Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, Austin Stowell, Nate Lang, and Chris Mulkey. This film absolutely rules! So intense and iconic! And that grand finale drum solo still totally rocks. This one definitely holds up. // Continue Reading ›
