Tomorrow night at the Genesis Cinema in Mile End sees the UK gala screening of a new lowish-budget British film called Solitary, directed by Sasha Krane, the nephew of Method acting guru, Lee Strasberg. Shot in Southsea and Portsmouth (with some scenes filmed inside Kingston Prison), it's a dark psycho-drama about a young woman trying to reconnect with her estranged family and exposing some painful secrets in the process. The cast includes Anita Dobson from EastEnders as well as boxer Joe Calzaghe in a small role as a prison guard. Also appearing is Sarina Taylor. Her husband, Roger Taylor, drummer and vocalist of rock band Queen, has executive produced the movie and written its soundtrack.

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Phase 4 Films.
Director: Sasha Krane.
Writer: Gordon Greene.
Cast: Monique Barajas, Chris Blasman and Malika Blessing.
Machete Joe is only the second horror film that this reviewer has seen with a primarily African American cast. Inheritance is the other and like this second film a Caucasian character dies first. This is a reverse of the usual black man dying early trope. However, Machete Joe does not offer any of the unique struggles inherent in African American cultural. Instead, this is a routine serial killer thriller with a spoof of filmmaking the only interesting element.
Two producers have gathered a cast of actors to an isolated ranch to film "Machete Man." There is trouble on the set as only thirty pages of the script have been written. The other sixty pages have to be improvised. But that is not...

No relation to "Machete Phil" or "Machete Sam" from Broken Lizard's Club Dread, Machete Joe is a new Hollywood-themed horror flick in which a former Ghostbuster might find himself meeting a fate worse than crossing the streams.
Written by, produced by, and co-starring Gordon Greene under the direction of newcomer Sasha Krane, the currently in post-production Machete Joe sees a group of out-of-work actors deciding to take their careers into their own hands by shooting a low-budget horror film about an urban myth. With only 15 days to shoot their still unfinished script, their shoot at a remote castle in the desert turns into a real-life horror movie. As their egos begin to surface so do the dead bodies.
In addition to Greene, the film stars Erica Gimpel, Paul Campbell, and Jason Bonduris. Look for everyone's favorite black Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson as the local sheriff.
