What a choke

Hmmm. . . .I am curious.
Choke was released nationally last Thursday (October 30 for those of you playing at home) and it has got me very interested. It's an adaption of a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk aka the guy who wrote Fight Club and stars the captivating Sam Rockwell. Firstly, Palahniuk is a brilliant writer who creates some peculiarly brilliant concepts and the last adaption of one of his novels was so awesome, I have high hopes for this one. Secondly, Sam Rockwell is in the lead and I'm a massive fan of his work. A veteran screen actor, Rockwell has starred in scores of films and always tends to take on unusual roles in movies ranging from indie and arthouse to blockbuster and major budget. My personal favourite Sam Rockwell role is playing the villain Nox in the first Charlie's Angels movie (nothing beats a man doing the moon walk to Pharoahe Monch). Choke is about a sex-addicted con-man (Rockwell) who pays for his mother's (Angelica Houston) hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who rescue him from choking to death. An interesting concept for what is no doubt an interesting film. It all depends on whether director and writer Clark Gregg can pull it off.
Hmmm yes this is definitely on my to-see list.
